    Wood duck gender

    Did it turn out to be a boy? You can tell because he’s got the saddle mark around his face.

    **WARNING, GRAPHIC IMAGES** Twin Welsh Harlequin Ducks

    I know this is old, but this is not Siamese twins (called conjoined twins). These two came from one yolk with one blastoderm that fully split. Conjoined twins fail to fully split and are attached together and unable to separate from each other. On another note, These type of twins (identical)...

    Riboflavin Deficiency

    Yes, there are 28 mg of riboflavin in Poultry cell per ounce. But each ounce contains 29.57 ml. So if 3 mls are being given to the bird they are receiving about 3mg of riboflavin per dose. The recommended dose is 100 microliters for two days for chicks, so 3ml would be plenty for a grown...

    No energy and bright green poop!

    I sold my show quality rooster to a friend who told me he got into a terrible fight with another rooster and within 2 days his poop was so green with yellow. I took him back and got him care. He’s on antibiotics, and I am hopeful he will be okay. But it doesn’t mean death. So do what you can.

    HELP!!! My peacocks are breeding my turkeys!

    Peafowl and turkeys cannot create offspring. To date, there have been ZERO offspring resulting from copulation of a turkey and peafowl. Like you said, they have different numbers of chromosomes, which makes it genetically impossible for them to reproduce and produce viable offspring.

    Checking fertility after incubating for 7 days...

    Actually it is and there are handfuls of published studies on this already.

    Checking fertility after incubating for 7 days...

    I know this is old, but it might help others. If it died during the first few hours, it might be present, but at 7 days, much less 1 day, it would never be present because of cell division. - sgarciabrooks

    have you ever seen a chicken with blue eyes?

    I know this post is I recently hatched an all white Polish with bluish eyes from Tolbunt Polish parents and have been on the search to find out info when I came across your post. I found a genetic arrival that explained I ended up with an all white Polish with bluish eyes from Tolbunt Polish...

    Can silkies have white skin?UPDATE. HAVE A PICTURE.

    Yes it is, but the relevance of the thread is still current. I figured it needed some more input should another person search for answers. :)

    Giant Silkie Project.

    Awesome! My guy weighs 9 lbs and I call him my Giant Silkie, but in all actuality he’s a Giant Satin since he has the smooth feathering.

    White silkie with pink skin.

    That’s so interesting that the white skin came through as offspring from standard black skinned silkies. I’ve been breeding for this trait along with the blue egg gene for the last several years and finally got a batch of pure white birds that hatched form a small blue egg with the walnut comb...

    Can silkies have white skin?UPDATE. HAVE A PICTURE.

    I have an all white Satin and Silkie (I’ll snap a picture of her tonight). I’ve been breeding them that way for -almost 3 years. In addition to having white skin, they hatch from blue eggs. Still need many more generations to breed true, but getting closer.

    Silkie X sultan, going to be new breed *need name idea also Update!*

    Curious how this turned out, since it’s been over a decade. I did a project with crossing a Polish with a silkie and it created white, black with gold, and molted sultans (had I know it’s been over a decade, but I was wondering how this turned out. I’m only starting but three generations ago I...
