So let’s start with the ducks, I have 2 khaki Campbell’s, a khaki x Cayuga, a runner drake and a call x Cayuga. They all except the drake have lost weight to the point of being just bone, you can feel their keel like and knife and trace their ribs, they still lay a little but are all hunched up...

I incubate mine at 37.5 degrees Celsius and 45% RH. I found nearly 100% hatch rates with Brodie’s though. I feed mine organic free range layers pellets as adults, chick crumb with coccidiosistat in it as chicks and organic growers until they start laying.

Hello, yesterday I was with my ducks down by my stream and I saw a mother pheasant with some day old chicks in one of my fields so I went a took 6 of the chicks (she had like 12) I’ve put them in my brooder with 3 guineafowl meets whom are a few days older and a Brahma chick who’s the same age...

Hi, I’m hoping to import some hatching eggs to the UK but was just wondering what American game are like to handle, are they particularly flighty or are they easily tameable and can more than one male be kept together as long as they are raised together?

I was wondering if anyone had any oxford old English game hatching eggs available In the uk, the only ones I can find are ginger but I’m not a fan of that colour. If anyone has any please let me know.

I’d say male blue laced wyandotte

I’m not considering sex links and hybrids as pure breeds, but some good guessing overall

A is a tricky one as it isn’t really a specific comb type but I would say it reminds me of a raspberry like a Derbyshire redcap has B is a single comb but it’s diluted down so hence it’s a bit chubby and rounded

Yes all cross breeds and parent stock are mine and all grand parent, great grandparent stock is owned and bred by me, or for a few breeds close friends own thengrandparent stock but I’m 100% confident on the purity of the purebred parents that went into these crosses and I know for fact the...

I thought it would be fun for everyone to test their chicken knowledge with a little quiz. I have some pictures of Cross breed Chickens and you all have to guess what the two purebred parents were and additionally what colour they might have been to create the offspring. Take into account comb...
