The owner said they are Beltville's, that came from Ontario, Canada. I live in Prince Edward Island. I am new to turkeys. Anyone familiar with this breed?
Hi everyone
I have 13 chickens and 3 rosters that I want to breed they are all together right now and the boys are busy with all the girls ;) after I separate them how long till I should save the eggs.
I have lots of pens and barns so its no problem separating or making smaller flocks. Knowing me I will end up keeping them.:)
The farmer had Delawares, Faverolles, Easter Eggs and a few more breeds, I don"t mind that they are mixed, more interesting lol
I thought they might be mixes
They were given to me from an old farmer. He saw me coming got 11, 5 are boys.
So I ended up getting 6 white girls from the feed store.
4 more girls from a breeder ( reds )
I would like to keep 2 or 3 rosters so I have to make some decisions
He is my head roster ( all are about 15 weeks old) I have 5
Any ideas on the others
reddish brown
black and white
multi with green
orange colour
I have 13 hens and think I may need to get rid of a few roos (Elvis does not like to share and the only one mounting) Is that...
I am in the country, but close to a road with big trucks. I am scared a duck may fly out onto the road. Visibility is poor with trees and hills, and a lot of speeders.
Hi I am new duck owner to 8 silly 3 month old muscovys. I raised them from day one. They found out that they can fly so should I clip their wings. I have been watching YouTube videos. Any tips
They were all the same size when I got them the white one in middle hatched when I was there so that one is the youngest. Have to give him vitamins and extra love. Wish I knew which are boys and which are girls been trying to figure it out its confusing
Ducks all born within a week. the one up front is so small and still does not have feathers on wings. eats well, does not act sick, just not growing compare to the other 10. These were given to me he said they were born all within a few days. I am not even sure the breed. He had about 150 ducks...
Hello everyone
I have a banty chick, born first week of November. Just wondering if I should take her of the chick feed, and give her regular feed. Also do I give her any grit with regular chicken feed?
Thanks
Hi everyone
I have one 9 day old chick (japanese) and noticed last night she had a swollen crop. So I took her to the vet first thing in morning (still swollen). She is healthy but swollen. Poop looks good etc. I did give her a dish of chick food yesterday and she was really excited. I had just...
This is the only chick. I should have another in a few days. It did have a hard time hatching. I had to take a q-tip and cloth to moisten her where she was stuck to the shell. One of her wings was stuck to her also, she was really sticky. Her eyes were stuck shut too.I lost some, shrink-wrapped...
Just go this chick yesterday about 5 p.m. (my first one ever)The chick is not moving well. Roll and wabbles around. I seen others chicke on this site and they are standing straight and walking. Should I be worried. It also seems to have a hard time drinking water. A little bit and it makes...
Its my first time with a new chick, just hatched yesterday. What do I feed it. I have the starter mix, but do I need to add water to it? It seems hard for the little chick.
Thanks
My temp was reading wrong. (cheap one )I took the good one out of the incubator and could not believe it 110. The poor thing. I got that fixed and its not chirping as much, and starting to go to sleep. I do have another chick due to hatch in 4 days.
I also have a hen sitting on one egg...
Yes, I will be doing more hatching.
It has been chirping all day, and hasn't gone to sleep yet. Is that normal, I would have though after hatching it would sleep all day.
