    Muskovy's what colors will I get?

    Ducklings should be chocolate, blue, black or splash with varying amounts of white. Possibly a few recessive unknowns but most should be chocolate. Aprille

    help with hatching guineas

    Try it with less humidity next time. Guineas are ones that I dry hatch often with humidity levels at around 40% (depending on the weather) during incubation and 60% at hatching. Aprille

    egg pictures anyone?

    No photos but Guinea eggs are teardrop shaped (pointier than chicken eggs) and very rough textured (like a stuccoed wall) compared to chicken eggs. Aprille

    New Zealand/Californian Rabbit Color Question

    Likely Agouti but you wont know for sure for another month or so. Steel is agouti with highlights. The banding of the hair color is rearranged so that there are light tips on each hair shaft. It comes in gold tipped or silver tipped. Aprille

    A quick question on brooder lights.

    I've used red and clear bulbs with no difference. As long as they have good space, food, water and heat ducks aren't big on feather picking/ eating. Aprille

    very anemic goat

    Yes Valbazen can cause abortions within the first 45 days of pregnancy, using it after that is fine. No birth defects. I use it for my animals multiple times a year. Use Ivomec Plus instead if it makes you feel safer. Ask your vet but fecal samples will not pick up all liverflukes or some of the...

    what breed are these?

    Maybe New Zealand crosses or Rex crosses but most likely just mixed "mutt" bunnies :), which can be the best pets. BTW in rabbit terms your gray bunny color is known as a blue. Aprille

    Crested ducks the whole Picture

    Yes, at least one of your Pekins has a "hidden" crest. Sometimes the crests are just so small that they are missed (no easily seen). The crested gene is a dominant one so it will pass on to 50% of the offspring in some form from 1 parent that carries one copy of the gene. It could be any of your...

    very anemic goat

    Does your area have liver flukes in it? The most common cause of goat death for my area is heavy fluke infestation. So deworming with Ivomec Plus or orally with Valbazen is required here. Aprille

    Female rabbit pregnancy/abortion issues

    Rabbits have 2 horns of their uterus so it is technically possible for them to be pregnant with 2 litters of different ages. But most of the time they will miscarry both litters. I suspect your rabbit will finish aborting her kits within 24 hours. If you really want a litter let her recover 3-4...

    Foster mum for guinea keets

    Put them in with the cochin with the chicks as long as she can handle them all. It's close enough that the age difference will be fine. Anything less than a week has been okay for mixed clutches in my experience. Aprille

    How to introduce a new adult guinea to the flock

    When her weeks are up just introduce her to the others at night (after dark). My birds often wake up to new friends and have no issues with it especially since the new one is a female.
