Ok, I’ll wrap it. How long should I keep it wrapped for? Or just check daily and remove once the wing is growing normal?
Also I thought I posted photos but I guess they didn’t go through.
Hi everyone,
I have an African gosling almost 9 weeks old.
In the past two days she has developed a weird, squishy bump on the top of her head. (I only felt it to determine it’s texture, after that it hasn’t been squished)
She also has developed angel wing on one side.
I have her in with...
Hey everybody,
I’m getting ready to redo my breeding pens this year and started wondering how other breeders have their pens set up.
So all you breeders out there, show some pics of how you set up your breeding pens for each breed. Plus, pictures of your best breeders too of course!
Hi everybody
I’m searching for a Wheaten Ameraucana cock/cockerel and hen/pullet.
I’d prefer a splash wheaten male and a regular wheaten female but that’s not a dealbreaker. I’m also willing to pay for shipping if needed.
I’m located in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Thank you
Hi there,
I’ve tried finding info online but to no luck. I was wondering if anybody knew the genetics behind the German pastel quail. I have 2-3 of them and wanted to know what genes on what make them this color.
Is it similar to lavender in chickens where it’s recessive but needs to be over...
Hey guys, I’ve been hoping to buy a partridge Cochin pullet or hen, whichever, and 2 or 3 splash silkie pullets or hens somewhere in Florida. I’m located in the south but will be driving up to central on the 22nd.
Let me know if you have anything, thank you.
Hey everybody. My friend has been trying to get a large fowl Cochin for awhile. She had a very sweet blue girl who sadly passed away due to unknown circumstances. She of course was heartbroken. So she bought a straight run partridge Cochin. Who is now about 6 weeks and I’m pretty positive is a...
...isn’t always well done, it’s not APA recognized anymore so it can be difficult to find good quality ones, plus they have yellow legs which is a b*tch to breed out when mixed with slate.
Overall, not worth using them when a speckled sussex is much easier in many ways. Plus they do have...
Hey guys, I’m not quite sure exactly which forum is the best to post this, so I’ll try here.
Right now I have four breeding pens set up for my birds with 10x10 dog pens and a coop in each one. However, I have some growouts that I’m going to need to move soon and want to change my breeding pens...
Hey everybody,
so I breed Ameraucanas in 7 color varieties, and they are by far my favorite breed. I just love their little faces!
I’ve been wanting to work on an Ameraucana color project for awhile now but wasn’t sure what I wanted to go for. Then I saw some Jubilee Orpingtons and Speckled...
I didn’t read through the whole thread so maybe this has already been said or the colors have already been seen, but I just thought maybe you’d like to check out Eye of the Rooster farms. I know Angel has some leghorns that he’s been working on for a few years and they only use pure leghorn...
The closest would probably be black or recessive white.
Black is used in a lot of breeds to improve the type and such of the other color, so first generation offspring would be all black usually, and then once those are bred any of the underlying colors can show up.
However, recessive white...
If he’s a bearded polish the that will cause a delay in wattle growth, so your best bet is comb color and size.
I agree that the one white one looks like a pullet, but how old is everybody? Because depending on their age and the breeds they were mixed with, there might be another girl in the...
Same, I have a variety of breeds for this reason. My BCM for their chocolate eggs, Ameraucanas for their blue eggs, olive eggers for green eggs, and my Langshans that I’ve been working on for their pink eggs.
From my past dealings with olive eggers, before I sold my group, I’ve found that to get really nice olive colors and variety it usually takes at least two generations. My F2s and f3s were beautiful
Thank you!
They’re my growouts for a couple different Ameraucana colors, lavender, white, blue wheaten, and blue/black/splash.
They’ll be my breeding group in the Spring, I absolutely love bearded breeds!
Eventually a goal of mine is to work towards an olive egger cross between Marans and...
