    Safeguard dosage for Ducks

    So I was going to get her for a weight, and I realized an important factor: she appears to have gone very broody under my nose. Feathers strewn around her, sitting on any egg she can find. Is it possible her broodiness has caused her thin frame? This doesn’t eliminate my desire to try and worm...

    I’ll update as soon as I can catch them and get a precise weight!

    Safeguard dosage for Ducks

    I have two, and good to know that 3cc per gallon is dated, this is the first I’ve heard that it doesn’t work.

    Safeguard dosage for Ducks

    I have a runner mix who just doesn’t put on weight the way I’ve read she should. I can feel her keel when I rub my hand along her chest, which I’ve read shouldn’t be the case, and since she has full access to feed, and she hasn’t been given wormer other than DE, I would like to go ahead and worm...

    Rooster Suddenly Territorial

    Both responses seem to be pointing in the direction of there being too few hens per rooster, which is a relatively easy fix, first off the Cochin has been in the running for being either rehomed or turned into tacos for awhile, his genes are just not what I’m looking for in my flock, and as for...

    Rooster Suddenly Territorial

    I have had my Rhode Island Red rooster for at least a year now and he’s always been great, calm, great with hens and never bullying, overbreeding, or even really chasing them. He’s even been good at not bothering my much smaller Cochin bantam, only chasing him when he breaks the pecking order by...

    Trouble Sexing 3 week old Brahma Cross

    Really! I was hopeful that the first one was a pullet but I had pretty much resigned myself to assuming the second one was a cockerel, since it has a much more developed comb and slight wattles compare to its sibling!

    Trouble Sexing 3 week old Brahma Cross

    So it’s been a few weeks since my initial post, and the chicks are now six weeks and one day old, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to post this bird again with hopes of potentially getting a better gauge of their sex. He/she has definitely undergone some significant and unexpected color changes in...

    Trouble Sexing 3 week old Brahma Cross

    So hearing from the people who have already replied, for once hearing that it’s too early to tell is a relief! At least that means there are no obvious signs of her being male, and I will update around six weeks to see if things have become clearer. Thanks to you all!

    Trouble Sexing 3 week old Brahma Cross

    I have a three week old RIR/dark brahma cross (RIR sire) that has been worrying me on and off in regards to her sex. I’ve attached a few pictures of her (who I will continue to refer to as female until proven otherwise so as to hopefully manifest it into being true) for reference. Now I know...

    Ginger Chicken Man

    Hello fellow poultry lovers. I’ve kept chickens for upwards of five years if I’ve got my dates right, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. I keep chickens of various breeds (and several mixes of said breeds) as well as ducks, two geese, and golden pheasants that I am learning to breed. I hope...
