So, if they are the other girls eggs, a full bronze tom and a bronze/royal palm hen, have babies like such? I'll take some pics tomorrow evening when I get back out there.
The bronze hen was from a bronze/royal palm.
The babies have to be from the slate; as the bronze hen had her own nest in our neighbors yard.
I only have a bronze tom; I was trying to explain where the hens came from. I am friends with the lady I got them from and her only tom was a royal palm.
I know the hen isn't 100% blue slate. Her mom was a blue slate, tom was a royal palm. I didn't hatch her but got her from a friend. All of her babies were either bronze or blue slate after the hens. Only tom was a royal palm.
I just hatched three of my turkey eggs. I had six of them, however the other three didn't make it unfortunatly. I was wondering what I should be expecting from a heritage bronze tom, and a blue slate hen. One came out blue slate, and two a bronze looking color. Is it just random? Or sexlinked? I...
He has not been around the one who had the respiratory infection at all. Separate sides of the yard, and anyway the article said its unlikely to transfer through cage to cage.
I only have had one other bird with a known respiratory infection. But it was a few months ago and she was the only one that got infected. I didnt see this reply before. It's not like that at all is also why I say its not a respiratory infection. I had to clean the girls beak/throat, nose, face...
We havent gotten any new birds in a few months, and hes been isolated on the opposite side of the yard from the birds besidesa few roosters he gets to go in the yard with. I say its not respiratory because we just finished the 7 day tylosin treatment like 2 days ago... wouldnt that have...
It is not a respiratory problem, they were all treated for upper and lower respiratory last week as a precaution because I had some hens sneezing and mucus.. probably just the temp change but wanted to he safe.
Noticed this a few days ago, I cleaned it with a warm rag and used some vetericyn on it. Not sure what to do. then that's his normal eye. Hes already separated from the flock, hes my extra roo so hes been by himself for a long time.
I've been told this is definitely a serama hen, and then I have been told it looks more like a roo. I swear It squatted for me today which is why I started to question it! He was sold to me as a roo, and he does have a bigger comb than the other one that he came with, but they're from different...
Hes asleep now, with his head tucked under his wing. You dont think hes sick do you? It wasnt extremely hot, its actually been a bit cooler here lately the highs were high 70s. I just got done tubefeeding my girl Sharron for over a month because she caught a cold. I try to take the best care of...
I just got a new frizzled rooster from a lady I've known for a while. When I got him, he was bright red. He was living with 17 other roosters before he moved here - I havent heard him crow once. Yesterday I noticed he was starting to look a little pale in the face, and today well hes almost...
All of my birds love the straw and hay . I throw a chunk in all the runs every once and a while. I always lose the quail in it, I sprinkle food in it for the chickens to forage in. I know when it gets rained on or snowed on, it will act like carpet. It's not fun pulling it up. And it stinks real...
I have three different incubators for constant incubation. Ones a little giant, and two are farm innovators. I keep the temperature at 99.5. There are auto turners. I have hatched probably hundreds of chicks at this point but these two hatches are concerning me. I dont mess with humidity in...
This is my second batch of chicks that have died right before hatch. There was about 15 eggs in both hatches, however both times the majority of them weren't my eggs which made me feel better. Barred bantam cochins. The first hatch I didnt have much hope for, 15 out of 36 eggs started...
Okay. Her eye hasn't crusted shut any more. Thankfully. I didnt put anything in her eye because she started acting better. Today she went up the stairs by herself. But then she fell down them... progress. She doesn't stay in her box anymore. We've moved her to a kennel. She's still not eating...
