    I Have a Fox Problem

    Maybe in WI you can't trap a fox , but in NY if they are killing your animals you can shoot them legally as a nuisance. Same as coyotes.

    The ever changing wattle color ...????

    I have 5 SLWs and a couple love sitting on my lap. Lately I've noticed their wattles start out pink and fleshy and in a couple minutes or less , they'll be the nicest deep red. I always associated pink pale wattles to sickness. We've had a couple sick birds and always had the pale wattles...

    SLW man girl or str8 cockerel...?? HELP PLEASE

    We bought 6 SLW about 3 months ago at a day old. We had one that was way smaller than the others until about 1 1/2 months old and then she/he started growing like crazy. The feather structure looks the same and I don't see any back claws but the comb and wattle is obviously way bigger than the...

    spots on eggs

    sorry this isn't exactly an emergency or injury, but I noticed little raised spots on some of my eggs. 2 RIR's and 3 BO's are laying and not sure what eggs come from what birds and not even sure it matters. The spots are raised and when I scratch them they almost look like extra calcium deposits...

    balloon eggs ???

    I have 2 RIR's and 3 BO's. 6 more SLW's but they are younger. My RIR's I believe are laying nice eggs. My BO's are starting to lay now and I've had a few eggs with balloon outsides if you will. Like a balloon instead of a hard shell. I'm guessing this is normal and after the first few the shells...

    hen or rooster...that is the question

    Thank you. I thought so but since I'm new to this I thought I'd throw it out there. I better unblock the nesting boxes. Can't wait for the eggs. Thanks again

    hen or rooster...that is the question

    These girls (I think) were bought together mid April. The one on the left shows signs of being a boy but I'm just not experienced enough to tell. The butt feathers look the same and there's no spurs on the legs. But the left one's waddle are noticeably bigger and she/he is more vocal than all 5...
