    hen or rooster quails?

    Better photos. They don't seem old enough to vent sex yet although they should all range 6 to 8 weeks. I know there are roosters in this batch but no crowing yet. All the other ones were easy to feather sex and the roosters don't have foam yet so maybe I'm off on the age. (edit- #4 is the oldest...

    wild or dumped domestic ducks?

    update: apparently they can fly very well so they should be fine, must have been outcrossed with wild ones. also apparently there's lots there. might just be a different species of wild duck or i dont know. its really weird.

    wild or dumped domestic ducks?

    for sure, my ducks are purebred too so i dont want them crossing anyways. probably toss them in the barn (good distance away) and rehome them. just dont want them to die when winter hits

    wild or dumped domestic ducks?

    my main concern is it gets to be -40s here during winter, if they are domestic they wouldnt be able to migrate but if they are wild then i dont want to be stealing them.

    raising the dumbest poult?

    okay, i just put the chicken chick in and it tought the other one to eat but maybe it will teach this one too. HOW DO THEY SURVIVE IN THE WILD!!! i sat there forever trying every trick i know trying to teach it to be a bird and eat. i swear she will be the death of me lol

    raising the dumbest poult?

    i swear to god this thing is going to be the death of me, got a pair heritage ridley bronze poults and i brought them home, the younger one ( about 12 hours old) took a second and figured out what to eat. the other one (about 1 or 2 days old) started eating wood shavings, after awhile of trying...

    My new tom?

    im glad i put him out of his misery, he had an enlarged heart with alot of fluid accumulated, his intestinal system was very full of gas like a balloon so it filled up the body cavity and had damages due to this, (i opened him up immediately after euthanizing him so it wasnt post mortem and he...

    My new tom?

    so its looking like he has some pretty serious medical issues coupled with so much coccidia in his feces (if you can even call it that, its just coccidia really) im going to put him down and do an autopsy. he can barely walk, i told the original owners and they said he was healthy but eventually...

    My new tom?

    like i said they are nowhere near purebred, 2 hens are broad breasted bronze (meat birds) and the white one is supposedly a heritage although looks like it might be a meat bird cross. the tom is a mix so i doubt he was inbred and at three years old i dont think he is just late developing. he...

    My new tom?

    Just got some turkeys from my neighbour's. She said 3 hens and a Tom but the Tom is really odd so I am hoping maybe someone knows what's up. He is about 3 years old, ridley heritage x. He walks very upright never puffed up, drums, gobbles or shows any interest in ladies. He is smaller than any...

    white kidneys?

    Free range and layer pellet. Still got a foot of snow so all layer all winter. Edit. There appeared to not be any kidney I could find underneath although i didn't look super well. Maybe it was as I have never butchered roosters that old
