    What guinea color is this?

    Had this new guinea keet hatch out last morning. I have no idea what color it is, curious to know what others think! If it helps, I currently have pearls, purples, pied purples and pearls, whites, pied lavenders, and pied buff dundotte in my breeding flock. I think this keet is some sort of...

    First time peafowl owner! (Taming/relocating)

    So I thought I might update this thread with what's happened! We ended up keeping the peafowl in a cage for two months with the other birds all around. Then, we released the male into the barn area, and then into the chicken area. Once he was good, both girls were released and they quickly...

    What color is this?

    @austria89 I looked through Porter's Turkeys and they definitely look like him! It might also make sense because he is double the size of the other poults, so I'm thinking he was crossed with a Broad Breasted Bronze accidentally. Thank you!

    What color is this?

    Hi everyone! I bought three turkeys from a heritage assortment at my local Runnings which should have had Black, Slate, Narragansett, Bourbon Red, and Royal Palm poults. I got this guy and still can't figure out what he is. At first I was leaning towards Naragnasett, but now I'm thinking Bourbon...

    First time peafowl owner! (Taming/relocating)

    @Waterfaery, thank you for all of your help! It makes sense to let the peacock out first. I guess I will rethink the wing clipping then. I know my family doesn't want to do that to ruin their looks anyways lol. My biggest issue with a net is that my guineas are idiots. We used to keep a net...

    First time peafowl owner! (Taming/relocating)

    Today after years of wanting to I finally bought myself a peacock. His name is Apollo and he is a yearling india blue. We're planning on getting him 2-3 hens by the end of the week, because unfortunately I couldn't find anyone who could sell both genders. Anyways, I'm trying to figure out how...

    Guinea keets with diarrhea and watery eyes

    They are doing a lot better. When I examined them again, I realized that the poop that's accumulating is actually stuck on their navels. Everyone of the sick keets had poorly healed navels, probably from their disastrous mothers. I don't know where the watery eyes came from but that's all...

    Guinea keets with diarrhea and watery eyes

    Let me just start by saying this has been a really difficult batch. My guineas decided to sit on their own eggs and instead of confiscating the eggs to my incubator like I usually do, I let the girls hatch out their own babies. Unfortunately, I was out of town when the keets hatched and though I...

    Just really disappointed in myself

    I only have incubator and one thermometer (though that will change within a week I hope). I feed my ducks a mixture of layer feed and scratch grains, and then for half the day they are free ranged.

    Just really disappointed in myself

    Just recently hatched my second batch of ducklings ever, and it was a complete failure. The first time I only incubated them for nine days as their mom died almost all the way through, so I was very unprepared for this. I had about 30 eggs hatching, and only 14 pipped. They were also four days...
