Hi, I'm interested in hearing your options on the temperaments of different goose breeds based on your experiences. I just want to make sure that if I do get more geese some day I don't make the mistake of unknowingly get geese that are often more aggressive or loud than others. I know that each...
Just wondering is the feather footed gene dominant or recessive?
If a chicken had a feather footed parent and a clean legged parent. What are the chances of its chicks being feather footed?
I'm wondering how different chicken comb genetics work.
What comb types are dominant and which ones are recessive?
What would you get if you mix a hen with a pea comb and a roo with a single comb and vice versa?
Are there any other genetic traits that are associated with different comb types...
I have a born and raised in Texas male betta fish named ultra violent. Are there any fish that would be a good companion for him. I don't want him to have to be completely alone in the aquarium but I also don't want either if the fish to get hurt.
Thank you 😁
This is a 1 year old EE? mix rooster. I'm not 100 percent sure about the breed but it's my best guess because that's what hens he looks the most like out of my flock that I had at the time. His father was definitely not a EE though. Anyway what color is he. He was chocolate colored as a chick...
I, have 3 4 year old roosters that i hatched. I have hatched chicks from all of them in the past. I also have one 1 year old EE mix rooster I have never hatched chicks from him before. Anyway I don't think they any of my hens eggs are fertile anymore. I would understand that maybe the 4 year old...
so I treated all my adult flock with ivermectin 4 days ago. 2 of my chickens a 4 year old hen and rooster had a bad infestation. 5 of them have signs of leg mites. And the rest I treated because everyone said that I should just go ahead and treat all of them because they all probably have it...
I'm in the process of attempting to get rid of a small scaly leg mite infestation. I'm treating the older chickens but I also have a lot of chicks. The youngest ones are a month old. How should I go about treating/preventing scaly leg mites in them? I don't want them to end up with a bad case of...
What rooster breeds do you all think do best at watching over a flock? And what rooster breeds are worst at watching over a flock? I know individuals are all different but in general what have you observed and what have other chicken owners said?
Can I tell if my hatchery pullets and cockerels will grow to breed standard size before they are fully grown? Based on how big they are now. They are about 2 months old.
Just for fun question. What month or months do you or your hens hatch chicks or what months do you buy chicks? ( Not just from this year also include past year )
Thank you! 😁🐣
So I've noticed that some color, pattern, size, and shape, chickens are more likely to be attacked by hawks both by observing my own flock and others. Here's what I've observed. ( Note I know breed and other factors also play a big role in how likely that a chicken is to be attacked. I have...
