    Help Me Sex This 10 Week Old RIR

    I figured as much.. thanks everyone. I'm going to try and rehome the little fella. He's sweet as pie for now but I'm not a fan of RIR roosters, they can be some nasty.

    Help Me Sex This 10 Week Old RIR

    Sorry for the terrible quality, little turd won't sit still... lol. I got a better angle on the face, as the pictures I took didn't show the wattles.

    Help Me Sex This 10 Week Old RIR

    This little one is the only one I've been having trouble with; I bought 9 BO's, 2 SLWs, 2 BAs, and this bantam RIR a few weeks back. It's about 10 weeks old now, give or take a couple days. Reason I'm asking, I don't need a RIR rooster. Especially not a bantam. I think the comb looks more...

    Rooster in Front of Nest Box?

    Hey all, My new roo, Midnight, is currently in the coop, crouched in front of the nest box. There's a hen in there (she seems quite content, same hen I think who tried going broody a couple weeks ago), I think she is trying to lay her egg. He doesn't seem to be bothering her at all. I'm...

    How Many Duck Eggs in Brinsea 20?

    Just wondering if anyone knows how many duck eggs will fit in the Brinsea 20. Also, is the humidity pump needed? Humidity in my area is very stable, my Incuview is doing well and has not needed much fiddling with, humidity-wise.

    Help! Possible Coccidiosis?

    I should mention, I put colloidal silver in their water this morning, hoping that that helps.. but if I need to buy Corid, please let me know.

    Help! Possible Coccidiosis?

    I noticed blood in the brooder.. pretty sure it's just from one little guy so far. If you look at my other posts you'll see that I could not find chick starter ANYWHERE, so I have them on grower- and the feed store only had unmedicated. I know there's lots of people that choose to go the...

    Will Kingsley Crow?

    Does anyone know what he may be mixed with? I didn't get to meet the breeding stock.

    Acting Weird AFTER Egg Bound?

    I haven't added the nutri mix yet.. the feed store said I didn't need to until I took them totally off the Purina crumbles. Should I pick some up then? I'm sure the package should say how much to add per volume or weight, right? I don't think Coco has been getting excess calcium - execpt maybe...

    Acting Weird AFTER Egg Bound?

    Well, she's in my room tonight in the kennel.. I've given her water with ACV and garlic, and I will call the vet when the weather dies down. Hopefully she perks up soon

    Acting Weird AFTER Egg Bound?

    Well, it was a short lived victory. Coco has stopped eating her normal ration, however she will pick at the wild bird seed.. I isolated her in the house again. I can hear a slight rasp when she breathes.. I am stumped. Anyone have a guess? As I said, can't take her to a vet as we're in full...

    Will Kingsley Crow?

    Thank ya! He's the only boy (I didn't want to deal with the headache of more), but this spring I'll be putting two flocks in a split-pen. One half will hold my RIRs, Kingsley, a bantam RIR, two Australorps and two Silver Laced Wyandottes, and the other will hold Buff Orpingtons - so I have a...

    Acting Weird AFTER Egg Bound?

    I'll be adding oyster shells free choice in a couple days, and we always feed back their shells (but I know they're not enough, hence the oyster shells). And no, I'm in Nova Scotia and we're experiencing a nor'easter to end all nor'easters! Tried to risk the highway today for chick starter...

    Will Kingsley Crow?

    He's a mutt alright I don't mind that though. Just like to call 'em the same as the others. Glad I got the age in the right ballpark! When should I expect to buy earplugs?

    Acting Weird AFTER Egg Bound?

    Similar! I actually figured it might be a lash egg; it wasn't whole, though. Looked like someone tried to fry it up
