    3rd Loss... Time to take action.

    Lost my Momma Tetra Tint who was laying on some eggs. She was in a box in the pen of the coop, small hole and a heavy lid. The Box was in the small pen which is 8 ft high with a heavy 5 ft wooden gate. That is surrounded by a 4 ft wire large pen. All I found were feathers and broken shells...

    Weezing or Snoring sound?

    My young Braham Pullet, 20 wks or so, has just started to get her red facial appadages in and is getting ready to lay. I noticed today she was laying in the brush quietly and made this " Merrrr" sound every time she breathed out. She is in healthy condition, no wounds and nothing coming from her...

    How do you tell a Drake from a Duck?

    I have new Pekins that about 3-4 months and was wondering how you tell early on who is male and female? My Khakis have different colored feet and quakes. Do Pekins have different quakes too? 2 have the Quake and 2 have the Whuck.

    Do you think this is growing?

    Not the best image, but I was wondering if this Duck Egg looks healthy and fertile? It is 10 days into incubation, on the 6th day I saw veins and the dark baby spot, so I know they were growing. When I checked them today I saw this blob in only half the shell. When I researched eggs, I saw the...

    This must be pretty darn close! Not sure who its from. It's either a Tetra Tint or my Rhode Island Barred Rock. I don't think my Ameruicana is Laying yet and my silkie should'nt be laying pink.

    Will my Khaki Campbells Fly away?

    They don't seem like they can fly, only skim across my yard when going from a waddle to run. But should I clip their wings? Or has flyign been bred out of them? They came from TSC.
