So my Toulouse are back to laying again (yay!) But in January!! Today I went to make eggs for my 3 year old (she specifically asks for her "goosies" eggs) so I'm cracking away and find one that has a double yolk! Surprise! Lol Anyway it's never happened to us yet (has happened with...
Hey all! I've got a question! Does anyone have any luck sexing very young (like a couple weeks old) goslings? I hatched one and I am hoping it's a boy. I have 2 ladies that are a year old. They started laying in January and February but stopped completely until about 2 days ago after we got rid...
Thanks for the info! I actually don't eat eggs (bad experience with a sick kiddo) but I give my eggs to my parents who love them! Lol I was so happy my girls are laying I had to hug them! :P
One of my girls laid her first egg a few days ago and her second today! Exciting yet I'm not sure if they are supposed to be laying in the winter! I'm in Wisconsin. We had a spring like beginning of winter so is that throwing them off? Or is this normal? I don't have any males yet. I hope to get...
Is she is WI?
Tolbunts are VERY hard to come by in my area and are never on craigslist. (I had 2 extra chicks that I sold, wish I hadn't, on Craigslist and they sold within 10 min)
Does the lady in WA ship started birds? I can't do chicks until spring. :(
Today I lost my rooster (Houdini) I found him already passed in his sleep I think with nightshade berries around him. So sad. I had one female and one male. Now Mini (my female) is completely lost. She follows me around and wants to be held or on my shoulder constantly. I'm thinking about...
Good to know!! Hank doesn't seem to care one way or the other about her. Lol We were starting to think she was a little bit "special" good to hear she not crazy!
I have a behavior question. I have 4 rouen ducks 3 female and 1 male (Penelope, Puddles, Delilah, and Hank). My question is about Penelope. She follows Hank around nonstop and makes the feeding chuckle constantly while nodding her head up and down off to either side of her body. She only does...
I have 2 girls Moose and Edna. Edna is always "talking" she never is quiet even when she sleeps she's snoring. Moose is quiet and regal. I had toulouse a few years ago and I don't remember them being chatter boxes. Does anyone else have a chatter box or am I just lucky? I LOVE my girls and would...
Which breeders did you get them from!? I'm looking for a frizzle hen preferably not from Omega hills farms and I got my other 2 from and want different blood lines. Yours are gorgeous!
I'm new to this thread. I ordered a mix of "rarest of the rare" eggs this spring. We managed to identify all but one and we think we finally figured out what "it" is. Lol. We believe it's a standard white laced cornish. Everyone calls it dinosaur when they see it. It's as big as our other...
I'm looking to buy a tolbunt polish frizzle pullet. Does anyone know where I can purchase just 1 of these? I have 1 male and 1 female but both are smooth. I'm in central WI and I can not seem to find anyone that has tolbunts! The 2 I have I hatched myself and the breeder doesn't have frizzles :(
This is Houdini. I post a couple weeks ago for gender help. I think it's safe to say it's a boy! His crazy hair came in about a week ago. He loves to escape the coop and I will often find him out of the coop crying bc he can't figure out how to get back in.
This is Minnie she still looks the...
