    Muscovy egg turned dark

    There's no odor to the egg which is why I'm at odds for whether to toss it or not

    Muscovy egg turned dark

    Anyway my question is do you think the egg is viable and intacted but looks large but then again I've never incubated an egg this long. The egg had been rather severely cracked prior to incubation so never thought it would be viable but it did develop and I did seal the hair like cracks with...

    Muscovy egg turned dark

    I have a single Muscovy egg under a broody who up to a few days ago I would say was developing normally (never had or incubated Muscovy before but the embryo was moving when candled). Then one day I didn't see it moving thought nothing of it maybe just it's position with the egg at the time. We...

    Homemade No Crow Collar

    Hi all, I hate to resurrect a thread that hasnt been used in years but I did have some questions as to a homemade collar I made for a pair of my SUPER loud hens. I made a collar with velcro as described but I think I have my placement of the collar off as when the hens eat they get a bulge of...

    Seems like they have removed self blue silkies from their online store, unfortunate for me as i was hoping to finally bite the bullet and just get a small order BUT I did notice they now carry Large Fowl Self Blue Cochins

    Is there anyway to tell? (Budgies)

    then hen was a single factor, only half could carry the yellow face gene. The all have a yellow face because they are wild type which just adds yellow to all the buggies feathers

    Is there anyway to tell? (Budgies)

    I have a recent clutch of 5 out of a sky blue yellowface1 SF opaline hen and a light green greywing male. All the chicks ended up normal light green(wild type) but is there anyway to tell which of them have the yellowface gene?? By looking at their faces I think it would be impossible to tell...

    Not fledging

    I have a clutch of 5 that are refusing to fledge. This is the hens first clutch and she's taking very good care of them. The oldest one turned 5 weeks on Wednesday and the second oldest today. She still feeds them so this isn't a dire situation. They do poke there heads out of the box but never...

    Parakeet with mites

    I still haven't seen a change in the growths. It actually ended up being all the way around the beak and the one eye. I'm waiting to see if the scaly stuff falls off maybe? I've been apply the spray directly into the scaly bits instead of just spraying the bird like the directions say

    Parakeet with mites

    I tried the spray mixed with Vaseline on a q tip directly to the scaly area and I suggest if you try it have a plain q tip AND the medicated q tip because the budgie will try to bite it if it goes around the beak as I learned so I would go in first with the plain let him bite the plain let go...

    Parakeet with mites

    I just finished my second treatment. The bottle says no more than 2 treatments a week but it doesn't say how many you should do in total. Reading online I've read it's also help to miss the spray with a little olive oil, Vaseline or even camamile tea and apply directly to problem areas such as...

    Parakeet with mites

    I'm in a similar situation. Someone caught a parakeet in my jobs parking lot and I took it home. I saw it has scaly mites, not too bad, a little overgrown beak but still eating fine; nails were longer than usual but ok; and some scaly buildup only around one eye but only the size of about a...

    Hamburgs from Ideal poultry hatchery

    Hello everyone, I'm hoping to find more pictures of hamburgs from Ideal Hatchery. I bought two SSH pullets a year and a half ago and LOVE them. They're very pretty, constant layers, and to top it off SILENT. no egg song ever, I love that. I'm thinking of replacing my entire small flick with...

    Color genetics thread.

    You could always try to artificially inseminate the hens if you wanted to cross the two breeds. It's relatively easy to do all you really need is an eyedropper and the two birds. As with color most likely half blue half black with red leakage.

    Silent hamburgs

    I have 2 silver spangled hamburgs that I got from IDEAL poultry (1 yr 3 months old ) that are silent. They have no, and never had any egg song (which I love as an outlaw). Neither of them sing when they lay, they do rarely participate when the other girls do a community egg song. Is this normal...
