    What color should I look for as a mate?

    I don't think the breeder was trying to take advantage of me. She told me she wasn't sure what the chick was when it first hatched, just that it came out of her purple pen. She asked around and was told it was spalding split pied. I will put a baby picture below. I have been trying to take...

    One quick random question, are bleed stop powders safe for birds?

    What color should I look for as a mate?

    I really appreciate you taking the time to explain everything to me. I have all sorts of notebooks that I am making notes in as I learn 🤣 I have 3 whites that I will be doing DNA on, so I may add this one too. I have just been putting off clipping their nails for a blood sample.

    What color should I look for as a mate?

    The breeder said it came out if their purple pen. I am very new to this and still trying to figure out the colors and patterns. Does that mean I should look for some more Spaldings to put with it? And you think it is a hen? Do you mind telling me why? I figured since it still had so much...

    What color should I look for as a mate?

    I have a purple spalding peachick, about 9 weeks old. I do not know the gender, but I am wondering what color I should look for in a potential mate. So far the guesses are that it is a male, with the caveat that it is still too early to really know. -the one on the right.

    Sexing Peachicks - 7 weeks old

    So, it is looking like... For the purples, Green is a male and Pink is a female. For the Bronze, Red is a male and Yellow is a female. I still don't have any guesses with Blue, the Purple Spalding. (Updated picture below) What colors should I look for to find Blue a potential mate?

    Sexing Peachicks - 7 weeks old

    I know it is early, but I am just learning. I am looking for what gender you think the chick is and why. The breeder/hatcher has been showing me different things as they grow and I thought that other may have different tips/tricks/signs. Yellow: Bronze Black Shoulder Breeder thinks hen...

    Turkey Poult with Swollen Eye

    I hatched these and they are still in the brooder, separated from my flock. The other eye looks 100% normal, she is active and I did not observe any respiratory symptoms. There are 2 other poults and 2 chicks in the brooder with her, so it is possible she got pecked or something. When she...

    Turkey Poult with Swollen Eye

    I have a 3 1/2 week turkey poult with a swollen/protruding eye. I examined it, the best I could, and it appears that the eyeball itself is swollen. I was unable to pull the lid down and take a picture at the same time. But it can open the lid. There was a little discharge, but I cleaned it...

    Turkey Poult with Prolapse

    I watched her pass a stool, and she did stuggle - she puffed out her wings and sort of grunted. I made a mash of game bird starter, water, and nutri-drench, but she didn't seem interested in it. She is more active and alert. She still has a little of the prolapse tonight, but has been...

    Turkey Poult with Prolapse

    Thank you for your response! The poult is only 6 weeks old, so it isn't related to laying an egg. Yesterday I applied sugar to the prolapse area, and by the second application, it was already looking better. ^last night before the second application. This morning she was sleeping when I...

    Evil Chick?

    I moved him outside and let the little stinker free range. He will still run right up to you when you go outside, but has not shown any aggression. I am guessing that he needs lots of stimulation to keep from being mean? I keep calling him a he, but that is just based off of personality...

    2 Month Old Polish Chick Gender

    Speedy is my white polish chick. I think technically she is a splash, but she is mainly white. Everything about her personality says pullet, but I noticed her waddles.... What do y'all think?

    Turkey Egg Incubation?

    Just set my turkey eggs on Thursday, so it is too early for me to know which are developing. (I also set 6 chicken and 3 guinea eggs 🤣). Looks like both of you get to go first! Let me know how your hatches go ❤️
