I know I shouldn't be posting here, but this was the most promising area for answers. This is my peafowl egg at 27 days old, due tomorrow. I had two eggs, one has hatched out already (yesterday) and this one is left. Does this egg look good?
I have found this small egg outside my Chicken/Peafowl pen. I have 6 laying hens, and a Peahen that lives with them. The Peahen is 9 months old and not laying, is this a partridge egg?
I hatched/bred this gorgeous girl 8 months ago back in June. She lives/sleeps with chickens because she was brought up by a broody hen. She is around Large Fowl size now (comparing that to a chicken). She acts like a chicken but I have bought a male for her (I have had him for a year) for when...
I've been told he's Black Shoulder with a "splash" of Java Green. He is around 2 years now, what do you think? I bought him from a breeder when he was 1.
Hi, tonight I noticed my Cream Legbar hen limped as I tried to catch her to lock her up for the night, and she hopped almost, and noticed on her foot there was a lump in between her toes, so I picked her up and it's quite hard. What should I do, thanks.
It's exactly like this.
Okay, thanks for clicking on this ;-)
Well, my Buff Cochin.. Has gone.. BROODY D: finally
I am going on holiday in 6 weeks, and I am thinking about 4 eggs under her, will she look after the chicks when I'm gone? (note.. they will be about 2 weeks old and someone will come and check on them (let...
There is a red dot in the egg (the white) and then theres a kind of white dot in the yolk, help what is it? I have no cockerel at all... And I want to know what it is ASAP.
Okay, my old PR Hen today was preening herself as it is pouring down, and I noticed that she had a maggot kind shape sticking out of her skin! Its not mites or lice, and it is not moving, it is hard, and a pale/white colour, it is worrying me Any ideas?
ETA: It is just infront the tail feathers.
Trying to find its original home. What breed also what gender? I have a feeling its male since it coo's gently. she/he has dark red legs. How do I find the owner, it has a blue leg ring.
Okay, I have a 21 X 20 run, and I am extending it so its 40-50 X 20 What should I use on the floor, I was thinking bark, but I don't know if it will work... Will it?! I dunno about sand because it rains here 'all the time..'
I have a stable, that is their inside bit, which is 11ft x 12ft, and their run is 22ft x 19ft.
Is this big enough for 20 chickens? I have 15 at the moment, also they free range every week.
My old hens have stopped laying since the new chickens came, they have been here for a week and the old ones are STILL pecking the new pullets! What should I do?
