    Rooster?

    I love roosters! My favorite part about owning chickens! I keep a lot of my roosters as pets, they will follow me around and sleep on me all day! Rooster refuge is a bad idea though, many birds come from diseases flocks. MG, Marek's, etc. are not fun... I had a friend in Arkansas that was taking...

    Rooster?

    Looks like a Roo to me, Hackle feathers, developed facial features, and the lankiness for his age gives it up.

    Breed question.

    Id guess he is a second generation easter egger due to his muff size, his blue egg gene may be too diluted to show through crossed with the sex links. You may get a brown egg with the faint blue/green egg shell or you may get a deep green egg. Try to hatch some chicks out and watch for the...

    Breed question.

    Looks like an easter egger, most likely crossed with a barred rock. The seller must have had a fence hopping roo.

    Did my emu eggs die?

    I have an update on one of the emu eggs! I saw it wiggling today, I guess it may have been shy. Now its just so nerve wracking waiting for it to hatch.

    Did my emu eggs die?

    A couple of months ago I won some emu eggs in an online raffle, that were shipped from the Midwest area of the US to the south east. They were doing great up until week 6. They were wiggling like crazy whenever I would take them out to weigh them but one of them completely stopped wiggling after...

    Extremely Lethargic - Green Poop - Mite Infestation

    Did you force feed him the electrolyte water? If so did you use a tube? Some could have gotten in his lungs by accident. I wouldn't worry about that unless he is gasping a lot for air.

    Extremely Lethargic - Green Poop - Mite Infestation

    If the poop is still green after tube feeding, he may have a blockage in his digestive system. Keep us updated.

    Duck Breed ID

    Looks like 5 mallard hens and 1 mallard drake/ The one in the middle may be a runner, does it have a taller stance than the other ducks?

    Extremely Lethargic - Green Poop - Mite Infestation

    I think that the green poop and lack of strength could be coming from him not eating enough, which could be from the mite infestation or something else. You may also want to treat them with corid just incase they are overrun with cocci.
