Maybe my hands are just shaky, but my eggs always roll when I put the basket in and out and the basket is a little too narrow to easily slide onto both rails. Does anyone have any modifications they use?
So a few weeks ago, I posted these two thinking definitely cockerels. They’re about ten weeks now and the one has such a different comb. Still two boys?
Everything I hatch or buy it’s like 2/3 to 3/4 roosters this year. 😭😭😭😭 I don’t mind keeping this Leige fighter if it’s a pullet, but I definitely don’t want a cockerel. It was part of a fun egg assortment I bought. I know it’s a cockerel. I think I’m just whining at this point. Tell me anyway 😆
I bought them from Tractor Supply because I wanted to give my beautiful legbar pair a few extra girls. What did I end up with? One is very small and there are three different patterns. Pretty sure the two are actually legbars. Are they even pullets?
I just want to make sure before I send him off with the rest of the extra boys that he definitely is a boy. He seems to have a bit more brown on his chest than the other two and his comb is a smidge paler. The for sure hen has an almost completely salmon chest though. I’m 99.9 percent sure he is...
I bred my barred olive Egger hen back to my welsummer rooster to see if I can get speckled olive eggs. Half the chicks have welsummer coloring and half are black. Are they autosexing? I’d love to be able to rehome a few definite pullet chicks to a lady in the city. She can’t have roosters
I am positive my one American buff is a Gander, but he has developed a very distinct brood patch, just like one of the geese. Do ganders get brood patches or do I have the most outgoing, slender necked goose in history instead of a gander? (They are coming up on a year and I am still figuring...
I know how to sex Coturnix quail but I am not sure on button quail. Can you tell visually with these colors? Hoping I have figured out two pair, as I had a terrible hatch rate and ended up with 6 total so I don’t have many to choose from.
First set of two:(light gray)
Second set of two (red...
I think I have a gander and four geese, but I guess I won’t know for sure until they start nesting. Anyone want to take a guess? I have individual portraits of each one and then some group shots. They are a very compatible group and very sweet. Hopefully they aren’t too vicious next spring but...
Oops. They were $1 and I couldn’t resist. What breeds did I get?
(I have 3 Khaki Campbell and 3 Swedish in here along with the six I’m not sure of. Please say this lil dude is not a male Golden 300?)
Fingers crossed I have one of each? I also have four pullets, so am hoping for at least one cockerel. The little black guy seems to be developing some manly characteristics.
I went to get some slate turkey poults and some Polish and a mixed turkey accidentally fell in the box, too. 😂 I was so excited to finally find some standard Polish that I forgot to ask about colors. And she wasn't sure of this turkey poult, but it looks to me to be a cross between bourbon and...
