2 months ago I jumped into reptiles by buying the Sorong Green Tree Python at my work(I work at a pet store). I am the only one brave enough to handle him, so they were happy to give him to me for the cost instead of retail! Poor guy has been stuck in the store for 3 yrs due to his nasty...

Those all looks like roos to me

Sebrights being hen feathered you wont get any rooster saddles and hackles to go by. I would say early developing pullet, just because when I raised sebrights by 4 weeks the boys had huge red combs and wattles already, at 2.5 months they were all in crowing contests. They can be a very early...

Sorry, cant look at any links or pictures as I am on my phone doing this(no I cannot afford any of them fancy iPhones or any smart phone really, so the crappy one I got cant do internet very well). Ha, our vets are useless, our livestock/cattle vet is afraid of cows but wont deal with any...

Rooster

sorry I meant to say safeguard, that's what happens when I go on the PC before I am awake. We cannot get it at any of the feed stores and the vets wont give it to me unless I can give them every little detail about the horse its going to. What about Piperzine? Still have some powder left the...

I am a poor liar and as soon as I stutter over what horse the valbazen wormer is for the vets go "what are you really using it for?" and wont give it to me due to intending it for off-label use, yea our vets here are great....... Ivermectin I can buy off a shelf the next province over so no one...

None of those places will take them since I have to ship and Canada post can't ship anything in any due time before it rots(and place that has the knowledge to do it is at least 1300 km away). And like I said our local vets wont touch anything with feathers with a 10 ft pole(their suggestion was...

Not sure about being poisoned, since before I got this pair the Midnights had access to that enclosure all of last year and early this spring before I locked them out of it and they never had issues. I didn't change anything in that pen other then rake it out and clean it up for the new birds. I...

Hi Everyone, I acquired a yearling pair of Opal peas around Easter weekend, beautiful fat and healthy looking pair, good feather, heavy as bricks and spunky. Had them quarantined away from my other Peafowl for a month, then added them into the pen beside my Midnight BS Trio. They seemed to...

The light colouring is one give away that its a roo, with barred breeds the males are much lighter in colour then the females. The second barred chick looks male too just from how light the barring is. In many areas folks will call any barred chickens dominiques, which is incorrect. Dominiques...

It has the wrong comb to be a Dominique, so I would say you have a barred rock there, looks to be a cockerel as well.

3 golden sebrights(their skin can be really dark at first, they lighten up with age, they are supposed to have dark mulberry coloured skin), 1 Black Breasted Red OEGB(since she is the same size as the sebrights I doubt she is a welli or any other large BBR coloured breed) and 2 Red Sexlinks

With those types of colours if there is any black in the incoming chest feathers its male, if they get nice brown feathers then its female, at that age they are easy to sex by colour so top is definitely male and bottom is female.

Hi everyone, as the title says, I am perplexed by very broody goose, thing is she has never laid a single egg this year...... In 20 yrs of keeping domestic geese this is a first. Does that sometimes happen, do I have to worry? Will this girl ever lay eggs or just be a cranky nippy...
