Nevermind everyone, he met his new ladies and he's magically better lol.

I went and picked up a a new rooster yesterday, when I got him he was completely fine, being able to stand up and everything. He was in a cat crate for 2 hours on the ride home. The crate was kind of small because I was expecting him to be smaller, but he was by no means cramped. By the time I...

Hi! I hatched out 7 muscovy ducklings this year, and now that they are fully feathered I was wondering what a few of their colors should he considered?

Hi all, I have a turken mix rooster I'm thinking about keep because so far his temperament has been so nice. I was just wondering if anyone else has a turken rooster/turken mix roo, and how their temperament was like? Thanks in advance! And he's standing like that in the picture because he was...

Here comes the age old question, whats the breed? I bought this chick at my local Rural King and it was labeled under easter egger. But it has blue/green feet, extra toes and dark features like it's beak. Could it be a possible silkie mix?

Hi all. I had a question to when do dark brahma roos start changing colors? I have some that are almost 6 weeks old. The only difference I notice is that one is feathering out very slowly compared to the other. Like all the others are fully feathered but his head and back are still fluffy. I...

So I have a dilemma... my 7 week old ducks have started attacking my chicks. They got along when they were around the same size, but now that the ducks are just a little bit bigger they attack the chicks when they're around. The chicks have lived in the hen house for 3 weeks now, completely...

I'm looking for name suggestions for this little gal! Her mom is buff brahma and dad is a silkie/polish cross.

Hi everyone, so this year I hatched chicks from my own birds for the first time. Some of which were dark brahma/crosses. I know that the dark brahma rooster looks nothing like the hens, but I am wondering since they are mixes, which are they? (I'll post a picture of the mom and dad also)

So these guys are freshly 3 weeks old! It was my first hatch, so it was pretty exciting. I know it can be hard to tell this young but, I'm thinking the black one is a roo? I have 8 all together, and the 2 black ones I have already having growing combs, and absolutely no tail feathers. All of my...

Hi everyone! I will be going on vacation next month, and I was wondering what is the best way to make sure my bird have enough food and water? I have 3 ducks, so as you know they waste water like crazy, but I do have a small flock of just 7 chickens. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I just had a hen that started hatching her first clutch of eggs yesterday, by this morning all 12 were hatched and dried. I moved her to a safer location and she is taking care of her chicks well. How long will she stay sitting on the chicks before she decides to get up and start...
