    Crop issue, seems serious

    I have a light Brahma that has had a large crop for a few days now, but I just noticed that she now has troubles standing/walking and is trembling slightly. I’m wondering if she has an impacted crop, but when I feel it it’s squishy and full, not hard like a rock. Trembling may be due to...

    Starting Breeding Flock

    Also, I’ve read that cold climates should not have breeds with single combs unless they give supplemental heat. I have also looked into white American seramas….should I cross that off or will they likely be fine?

    Starting Breeding Flock

    Haha good luck when you do! What do you do with the extra birds you don’t keep for breeding or showing? Would I be able to sell any cockerels if they aren’t dubbed?

    Starting Breeding Flock

    Thank you! I’ve done some looking around on that site but it seems there’s nobody nearby me or even in my state that I’ve found. I would prefer to start from a pair or trio but would hatching eggs work too?

    Lonely chick with weak legs?

    I don’t have anything for a vitamin boost but I could find some. I’ve never needed it before but it may be time! I keep my chicks inside my house in a clear tote bin so I don’t use a heat lamp. I know everyone says they need one the first little while but in around 15 of having chicks, I’ve only...

    Lonely chick with weak legs?

    Hello, I got chicks yesterday, some from a fleet farm and some got brought home from I believe a runnings. There’s one chick in particular, an Appenzeller Spitzhauben pullet that is acting strange. She cheeps louder than the other 10 chicks combined and constantly, but she doesn’t usually go...

    Showing hens in 4H

    Hello, I’m wondering if anyone has a sort of guide for preparing and showing hens at a county 4H competition. For goats/sheep there are guides for how much to feed and how to care for their wool, etc. but I haven’t found anything like that for poultry. Any tips would be great, thanks!

    Birchen modern game bantams

    Hello, I have two questions. First, I found a pair of game bantams and was wondering if it is alright to keep a male and female together. I knkw generally you want a ratio of one male to a bunch of females depending on breed, but would it be okay to just have one and one? Also, is there...

    Duck Coops and Tips

    Yes, it can easily get below 0 degrees F so I’m kind of wondering if it would be best. I’ve seen where people will buy a big clear shower curtain and hang that on the sides of their fence. Would that work?

    Duck Coops and Tips

    Thanks!! Does the run need to have something over the top during winter? Or do I need to cover the sides during the winter? My plan was to just leave the wire fence that’s there just like I do with my chicken run.

    Easter Egger or Brahma

    That is not a Brahma hen. The colors are definitely of an Easter egger as a light Brahma hen would be simply black and white.
