    Broilers dying of Ascites?

    I agree with the not limiting feed concept instead. I have tried it both ways and I got dismal results with limiting the feed. I had more deaths, my birds were thin for Cornish X's when butchered, and the meat was not nearly as good. Just my two cents worth. Sounds very possible that you...

    Muscovy ducks in Kansas, Missouri, or Nebraska

    I'm looking for muscovy ducks. I can't seem to find any around me. I do not want hatching eggs. Have 13 in the incubator that I bought and not one of them is viable. I would prefer ducklings and am willing to drive a couple hours to pick them up. I'm in the Kansas City area. Any color is...

    Giant Dewlap Toulouse

    Does anyone know of anyone in Kansas or Missouri that has this breed and sells it? Thanks.

    Yes. I've ordered many hatching eggs over the years and having them sent regular priority mail is fine. Just be careful when opening the box. I just got 9 giant dewlap toulouse eggs shipped about 2 to 3 weeks ago, and one of the bottom eggs had gotten broken. There was a bit of a mess in...

    I had a GP/Anatolian mix once, and all the GP breeders/owners I've ever come in contact with have a saying about the GP dogs. A Great Pyr without a fence is a disappear.

    Hard to tell with the picture. All I saw was red. I asked because it looked like how a rose comb develops. I'm not saying it indicates sex/gender, just that it looked suspiciously like a rose comb.

    Yes, I was - still am, I guess, although nothing ever seems to happen there.

    Looks like Black Australorp or Black Sex Link. What little I can see of the red, is it a Rhode Island Red or a New Hampshire Red?

    You may not have girls if they're displaying that behavior. That's the characterist rooster fighting, and some roos start it within a few days of hatching!

    Is it a rose comb? If it's a rose comb, it could still be a female.

    I'd say it looks like you have two males. Females will tend to develop a saggy baginess on their underneath, between the legs. It's the egg sack. If they were hatched out last year, you or your neighbors would have been getting eggs by now. Do you ever see them mating? If not, then more...

    Having candled hundreds of eggs over my lifetime, at 14 days you will see movement and they would be dark about 3/4ths through. These are no good. At 5 days you will see veins. At 10 days you will see about 1/2 of the egg dark, at 14 days, 3/4ths of the egg would be dark, or close to it. A...

    Looks fertile to me. I don't see those little white spots on store bought eggs, but maybe it's because they're so light in color. But I was always told if you see that spot, it's a fertile egg.

    TNT: Prayers going out for your son and his well being and praying he can be at least somewhat of a normal kid - playing and having fun! Had to post a picture of my crazy hens. Every time my husband or I are out digging in the dirt, here they come running, because they know there's something...
