    Mama quail sitting on 2 silkie eggs.

    She would have to be bc they are growing. They were rocket hot at one point. I'll candle them again in a few days to see what she does

    Mama quail sitting on 2 silkie eggs.

    I felt bad for her but I noticed she went SUPER BROODY but she's a loner. I really didn't think it was possible. I have a bantam silkie's egg and her daughter's egg. Her daughter is half bantam half regular sized silkie. So one egg is a little smaller than the other. Her mother (the bantam...

    Mama quail sitting on 2 silkie eggs.

    This is bizarre bc I was always told quail don't go broody but mine sure did as spring hits. Maybe because they were hatched out by my bantam silkie and they learned the behavior? Idk. So I have one quail left who has gone nuts with being broody. She is alone so they will never be fertile and...

    What colors are these Turken babies going to be?

    What colors are these Turken babies going to be?

    Tractor supply had 3 "colors" of Turkens but nothing labeled. The black ones seemed self explanatory. But the other 2 or 3 were this light sort of pale yellow, a very similar yellow but slightly darker... and then these stripey ones. What colors did I get??

    Help please! What is Wattle shrinking and swollen? Not sure what is wrong. He acts fine.

    I know this is an old post but it might help someone reading. I've had hens that would develop one single shriveled wattle out of nowhere and I thought it was dehydration but it was actually an indication that they had internal health issues. Antibiotics were necessary. If both wattles and comb...

    Lavender Ameracauna Rooster and mystery mom?

    Oh and yes it's absolutely that egg. It was the first one to hatch out of 6 incubated eggs. Everyone else is black. Idk if I can post the video of it hatching.. but it looks just like a turken baby lol I have a buff turken. Could that be the mom?

    Lavender Ameracauna Rooster and mystery mom?

    Whoooooah! Thats so cool thank you!! I do have an ISA brown and the only other white feathered hen i have would be a splash Ameracauna but this chick came from a brown egg not a blue one like hers. This is fascinating thank you for your response!

    Lavender Ameracauna Rooster and mystery mom?

    I originally hatched it out in an incubator and then slipped him/her under a broody silkie who is now her mom. Dad is definitely a Lavender Ameracauna I have a lot of breeds of hens but majority of Lavender's babies are black. So why is this little guy/gal WHITE?! The neck in a video when...

    Accidental Barred Rock/Lavender Ameracauna cross. Male or female?

    I only noticed the white dot on its head recently and thought that was odd for the other crosses I was trying to hatch bc they never had that before. Then i noticed how absolutely orange its legs were and it had stripey wings?! (Then I noticed it has a crossbeak. 😭) Had to be a barred rock and...

    Lavender Ameracauna crossed with?? The only dad can be a Lavender Ameracauna... but I only have 2 laced hens. A Wyandotte and a barnevelder. Could also be a blue copper maran he's? My husband accidentally called this one. The one I wanted to save. I'd like to be able to make this cross...

    Does anyone have personal stories of how UNactivated Oxine Ah helped for upper respiratory infection your chickens?

    I would also like to ask if anyone has used it for cats or dogs upper respiratory infections. I understand this is a poultry forum but I can't find much on the internet on it working on anything else BUT chickens and ducks and one time I saw it mentioned for a turtle's upper respiratory...
