    Any Ideas

    Anybody have any idea how to fix this chicks leg? It just hatched a day ago, and I'm not sure what exactly is wrong with it besides its leg turned in.

    Hen has tail pointed down but otherwise acts normal.

    I recently picked up 2 silver laced wyandotte hens and when I got them home, I noticed one of them had a tail pointing down. She seems to eat and walk around fine, runs out when the door is open, etc. Acts like a chicken should, just has a droopy tail. She is 7 months old, and we have only...

    That would be perfect. I'm in Brown County. We're practically neighbors. How much are you asking for them, and when can we meet up?

    Can't tell what gender my guineas

    You're right, I do have two guineas. They are secured in a house in the backyard, probably going to keep them confined for a few weeks so they know where home is. I am not sure of their age, but they are adults and I was told they are at least laying age. What should i look for in the wattles?

    Project Help Needed!

    Here is my plan. I have been incubating eggs and as interesting as it is, I would like to get chicks the natural way. My plan was to build another coop with an enclosed run and take 2 or 3 hens and a rooster of the same breed and keep them solely in that coop. I am hoping that nature will...

    Turkey hatching early please help!!!

    I was just rotating my eggs that are in my incubator, my turkey egg had a crack, chip (pip?) in it. The problem is that by my math it shouldn't be hatching until the 30th, I candled the egg and I can see the chick moving inside, so I don't know what to do. Is this normal?

    Looking for some laying Orpingtons Ohio

    I am having a hard time finding grown orpington chickens ( a few hens, and one rooster) in my area. I prefer lavender or buff, but would be interested in any color really. I just don't want to bother starting from chicks. I have enough chicks already and I would like to start a new project in...

    Can't tell what gender my guineas

    I recently bought a few adult guineas, and I have no idea how to tell them apart. I know they say you have to listen to the sounds they make, but mine wont make a sound. Even when scared they are silent. Is there any other way to tell? I am really hoping to have a male and female. Thanks

    Which Type or Breed Sells Best

    I will probably go with the Orpingtons. They seem like they do a lot of the raising for you on the little ones, which will be fun to watch anyway.

    Which breed to choose???

    Ok, thanks. If only they sold full grown hens to save me the wait for eggs.

    Which Type or Breed Sells Best

    I might give them a try. We have a few americanas now, and they both seem to be great birds.
