    Salmon Faverolle cockerels

    Hi, I am downsizing my flock for winter and have three extra salmon faverolles cockerels that I thought someone might appreciate. I am in the Newberg (mid-willamette valley) area and am willing to drive up to a half hour away. The boys are just starting to get their adult plumage in. They will...

    Nearing 100 degrees F

    I'm in Oregon as well, I've been setting up a sprinkler and letting it run for a bit to help cool the ground down. My chickens don't usually like the direct spray but they will stand in the mist or roll/bathe in the damp ground. It's definitely hard when it gets hot, I worry about them too.

    Decapitated and missing ducks

    Just spent most of my day reinforcing and closing up any possible gaps in the walls of my coop. I don't know what did it, going to get a game camera and set it up because I'm sure the varmit will be back. One duck was missing, the coop door was open (maybe I didn't latch it tight enough last...

    June Hatch-A-Long

    So I woke up to a crash at 4:30 am and frantic peeping. Walk into the living room to see my cat has completely flipped the incubator over and all the eggs on the floor. One chick had apparently hatched and was screaming bloody murder at this turn of events. I hustled it into the brooder and...

    How common are secondary bacterial infections?

    That's what I thought too, but the vet said the swelling was in an odd place, not near her sinuses, and she had no other symptoms to point to respiratory disease and nothing on the necropsy.

    How common are secondary bacterial infections?

    Hi all, I had one of my bantam cochins pass away yesterday. A little background: I had originally taken her in to our avian vet because of some unusual facial swelling, the vet wasn't sure what it was as she cultured throat, sinuses, and ears and came up clean, but she did say mama bird had a...

    Sexing Salmon Faverolles

    That definitely looks like a little cockerel. Here's a picture of what my boys feather out to (pullet front, cockerel behind her)

    I love my cochins but...

    ...every time I take their feeder to clean it I get the look of "how dare you touch my food!".

    May 2020 Hatch-A-Long

    Woke up this morning to one chick out and another pipped! Nothing yet from the shipped eggs but all three were alive and wiggling last night when I candled. The waiting and anticipation is getting to me!

    May 2020 Hatch-A-Long

    Just candled my eggs, and it was so exciting to see my three developing and moving around! I had 12 shipped, one came slightly cracked despite good packaging so I know they were tossed around a bit. Three were clears and the other six were early quitters. Hoping all my little ones make it to...
