    How to sex dominiques?

    I just hatched out a dozen American Dominique eggs. I was told that these can be sexed as day olds by color. They all look the same to me. Can someone tell me or direct me to a link that can tell me how to sex these? Pictures would be great.

    How old when ready?

    How old do baby bunnies have to be before they can be sent to new homes? Mine seem to be weaned and eating ok, but theyre only around 4 weeks old.

    Which one is laying?

    Ive got two Mallard hens and one Runner duck that free range 24/7. Ive found a nest that one of them has made in the corner of the fence and has been laying an egg a day there. I havent seen any of them sitting there but all three hang out in the area. The eggs are white and look like perfect...

    Post pics of your homemade incubator

    I have an extra LG still air incubator that has the foam busted. I kept the heating element and stuff from it with the intentions to make an incubator out of it. Anyone have a suggestion on how I should do this?

    The lab and the ducks

    My lab is a trained duck hunting retriever, but yet he docent bother the three ducks that I have living here. He somehow knows the difference between the wild ducks that we hunt and the domestic ducks at the house. He might chase ne occasionally in a playful manner, but he never tries to grab...

    Quail Nest Boxes Work

    I have a sand box and three nest boxes filled with bedding. My coturnix will sleep and rest in them but will not lay in them at all. I've tried taking the eggs and placing them in the boxes to see if they will start laying there. That works in my chickens, but not the quail. They still seem to...

    Why is my EE dying?

    I had to work all night last night. As I expected though, she died sometime last night. Im leaning towards impacted crop right now. It does feel like a bean bag and I still feel like the others would be showing some sort of sign if it was parasites. I just dont see one chicken being litterally...

    Will a turkey mate with a chicken?

    I've never had a turkey to try and breed a chicken. But I did have a rooster that was fond of trying to breed a hen turkey... And anything else that would hold still long enough.

    What did you kill today???

    Good for you. All I killed was a bunch of grackles and black birds that seem to think they have every much of a right to my scratch grain as the chickens do..

    Why is my EE dying?

    I hate to hear that about your EE. I'm more worried about the rest of the flock in the coop than I am this one chicken. I'm used to losing a chicken occasionally, that's part of having chickens. I'm just not used to not knowing what it is that caused it. I've always gave my chickens a little...

    Why is my EE dying?

    Guess I should give them another round of wormer just incase. It just blows my mind that this one chicken is healthy one day and dying the next. I've never had one this far behind the rest health wise for no apparent reason. The fact that her crop is full of food shows that she is eating. Thanks...

    Why is my EE dying?

    They are in a 10x10 coop with a 20' run. I have 2 feeders and 2 waterers. I give them half a coffee can of cracked corn in the run everyday as well. If she is lowest on the pecking order or if it was the weather, why would she have made it this long? Her and the other EE's were the "originals"...
