No they didn't, I have them in a brooder. She's half silkie, she doesn't even realize they're gone lol

Chicks are 100% They're doing awesome. No mites in sight. Treated all my birds with ivermectin, only one had mites which blew my mind. They all got moved to my goat barn for the time being. Now I just came on to post about the one with mites because I think I've got bigger issues 🤦‍♀️ I have...

Thank you for this! Everyone got treated with ivermectin and removed from the barn and into an outdoor pen. Oddly enough, I didn't find mites on any, but one of my birds. Which makes zero sense to me what so ever because those chicks and eggs were literally infested and i couldn't find a single...

Hey everyone, Exact same situation but this time I had a 7 week old goose who's already died from it 3 days ago and now my rooster is showing the exact same symptoms! Lethargic, barely standing or moving. Bright green poop. I dont expect him to be alive when I get up in the morning. He's also...

Long story short, new farm, 100+ year old barn, first winter with flock in barn, literally THOUSANDS upon millions of mites. I climbed up a stack of straw bales because I heard peeping and found a chicken sitting on 20 eggs. Thought, how cute! Literally snapped a picture of her, climbed back...

Thank you! The lady who sold them to me said they were pure and she was suuuper nice so I thought it must be something normal. She also told me she only had Sebastopols so I was really confused when I saw grey and black. It's odd though that her parent flock looks pure white in the photos she...

I know nothing about geese, I bought hatching eggs as "pure curly Sebastopol". Feathers are all coming in white, but most have grey hues within the feathers. One has pure black feathers randomly popping out in different spots on her body. I saw pictures of the parents, and they were pure white...

So I had someone ask me for orpington chicks yesterday. I have a silverlaced roo mixed with Isabel and Silverlaced hens, all pure and all orpingtons. I literally JUST got an Isabel roo yesterday, but he's in quarantine for a month or two yet. She doesnt care what she gets as long as they're...

This is beyond helpful. Thank you so much! I can keep him apart from my other birds as long as needed, I don't want him to bring anything into my flocks. So, quick question. I've never had cuckoo birds, im still fairly new to chickens. Can you tell if they are cuckoo from hatch day or it not...

Last year I hatched out 6 gorgeous Isabel Orpingtons, turns out I won the lottery and got all hens 😂 I would LOVE to be able to make some money and sell hatching eggs in the spring/summer with these beautiful birds but I've been looking since last fall for an Isabel orpington rooster and haven't...

Hey! I've started selling chicks quite consistently, im actually at the point of having a wait list. I work with Silkies mainly but I will soon be offering up Orpingtons. You see so much about flock testing for different diseases in the US. But here in Canada (Alberta to be exact) I'm having...

Sorry, just posted!

For those who have raised Sebastopols, was there any truth to the color sexing trick? I hatched 4 and got one yellow and three lavender so would it be one boy and 3 female or is it totally up in the air till they lay eggs or I pay to have them dna tested? I'm quite new to geese, I got 3 at an...

Thank you! This is amazing advice! I really wish I could take nicer photos using my phone but my barn is so dark! I'm going to work on that! I love this! I've been trying out tiktok too but I'm getting stuck at 200 views. It's definitely an art that I have not mastered yet!
