    Just needed to wait a few days before posting…confirmed this morning this little one is indeed a cockerel 😂

    8 week old Easter Egger: male or female?

    I just hope he stays sweet. I have a nearly 2 year old lavender Orpington that has turned into a real a-hole.

    8 week old Easter Egger: male or female?

    That is what I suspected, but I was hoping because the rust wasn’t just on the wings there was a chance it’s a girl ☹️

    Central Iowa Boys need a home!

    Thank you! No luck so far. We are letting them free range for now and putting them in a crate to sleep.

    Central Iowa Boys need a home!

    I have 2 very handsome chamois Spitzhauben cockerels I need to rehome near Des Moines, Iowa. I got 4 chicks and 3 turned out to be male, plus I already have an older roo and not nearly enough ladies to go around! They are 6 months old today and other than jockeying for position, they’ve been...

    Are these tapeworm segments?

    Looks like debris from new feathers to me!

    4 dead keets in 4 days

    Nearly 8 week update: we’ve not had any additional deaths after the first week, and the remaining birds are growing quickly! We’re going to start letting them free range soon, but for now they’re (hopefully) getting used to the idea of the coop as their home. Here’s a picture of the 13 tweens!

    molting in August

    Yep! Most of mine start within the next month or so, but some started in late July and one year I even had one start in February 🤷🏼‍♀️.

    Very strange issues with a Hen

    The DE is super dusty and could create respiratory issues. If you’re able to afford elector psp, it’s by far the easiest and most effective treatment. While expensive, you may be able to find a neighbor or friend to split the bottle with? It really is the best, safest & most convenient way to...

    Very strange issues with a Hen

    I don’t know how to link articles from this site, but if you search Corid oral drench instructions by @casportpony! But glad to hear she’s doing better!!!

    Very strange issues with a Hen

    I agree with the others. If she were mine, I would direct dose her with corid for 3 days, plus add corid & water to her feed to make a wet mash. You could also give her corid in her drinking water, but if she’s eating well, I’d probably just give her plain water. During this time I’d also offer...

    4 dead keets in 4 days

    2 week guinea keet update: We moved the keets to their coop 3 days ago (12 days old) and put them back on pine shavings & under the heat plate. We’ve not had any additional losses since #4 at 5 days old. If I were to do it all again, there are a few changes I’d make: first, I’d start brooding...

    4 dead keets in 4 days

    Not a silly question at all! Yes, I was giving warm water, both plain & with PND. Knock on wood, it’s been almost 3 days since we’ve lost one. I have a sneaking suspicion it was due to the ambient temperature in the garage being too warm & they didn’t have a place to cool off. They’re in the...

    4 dead keets in 4 days

    I put them in a brand new brooder on towels. Hoping this works!

    4 dead keets in 4 days

    I’m doing some research and came across brooder pneumonia. Is that a common thing?

    I'm not going to survive through raising these babies

    I have NEVER struggled so hard to keep babies alive! This is my first time with guineas and they are doing everything they can to die. I sure hope the ones who live are super hardy, cause I don’t think I can do this again! Without a doubt the most humbling experience raising fowl I’ve ever had.

    4 dead keets in 4 days

    Dang it, I’m pretty sure I’m about to lose another. She’s under the heat plate, eyes closed and when I lifted the plate she stretched upward to breathe and she sounds gargly, like she’s got fluid in her chest 🥺. I am at a loss. Also, I got the temp down to 90. And they seem to prefer plain water...
