Hello, I've recently obtained 4 goslings that I'm going to keep with my chickens and ducks on about 1/2 acre that they free range all day. Currently the chicken and duck feed is free-choice in some hanging feeders near their coops. I'd like the geese to primarily live off pasture. We have...

I'm kind of freaking out, I'm on my second attempt of quail hatching (first attempt nothing hatched) and my first quail has officially hatched. About 1 hour ago. It has been trying to stand for an hour but just keeps slipping. The floor of the incubator is just this dumb plastic flooring and I...

Hi all. I've got 6 adult muscovies that typically sleep in a small coop at night and free range during the day. Unfortunately, our weather has turned sour and the next two days will be in the negatives (fahrenheit). Typical winter temps here are lows in the 20s or 10s at worst, so this is a huge...

Hi all, First time quail hatcher here. I have a 10 week old male quail that started mating with a couple 16 week old females around week 6 of his life. I collected those eggs from those females for about 6 days until I got 11 eggs total at which point I began incubating them. I'm incubating at...

Hey all, I've got five 8-week old quail. One started crowing and mating like 3 weeks ago so he was easy. I can also pick him up and press on his vent area and a ton of the white foam comes out. Another one is a confirmed female due to feather sexing. The other 3 are not feather sexable and I...

Hi all, wondering what to do. I have 8 7-week old quails. One confirmed rooster so far, 5 confirmed females, and 2 unconfirmed. The 2 unconfirmed (haven't seen them mate or crow, no white foam from vent sexing though) started being brutally attacked by my one confirmed male yesterday. This...

Hi all, wondering if this is common. I got 6 quail recently, they're 4 weeks old. I got a rabbit hutch for them which has a large downstairs area and a ramp to an upstairs area. I keep their food and water upstairs and I taught them all to use the ramp within a day. Nowadays, they roam their...

Hi all, I'm giving away two female black swedish ducks of about 3 months old. They are healthy and super friendly. Unfortunately, I'm no longer allowed to keep them😭 Will drive to meet halfway for those that live within a couple hours of Denver. They're really cute, sweet birds.

Hi everyone. We got 2 muscovy ducks today to add to our flock of 2 black swedish ducks (you may remember my post from July about free ranging my flock). The muscovies, according to the farmer, are about 3 months old. He believes they're both female, but he even said "you don't know for sure...

Hey all, I got 3 black swedish ducklings 2 weeks ago. When they are full-grown, I am planning to free range them in my fenced backyard. My backyard is about 3000 square feet and I live in a suburb, although I and my neighbors do back up to farmland. I worry about the threat of hawks and have...
