    Sweetgrass tom needs his own flock

    Incubator hatched April 2024. He’ll finish growing ~30 lbs. He likes people and treats, but has begun fighting with my gander (turkey wins but doesn’t back off and I need my gander to babysit my ducks). Free ranges during the day, sleeps in a coop at night. Located near DFW Texas.

    What do I call this duckling?

    I currently have of breeding age 1 Cayuga and 2 Buff drakes (one light, one standard) as well as 4 Cayuga ducks and 1 Buff (light). The Standard Buff doesn’t seem to get any action as he’s usually muscled off by one of the other drakes, so it’s a possibility but remote. I was trying for sex...

    First goose egg - fertile ?

    I have a Pilgrim pair that is 9 months old. My goose laid this egg Feb 10, another the 14th and one today. I’m excited, but want to make sure they’re fertile since I’ve only seen my drake mate the goose, not the gander 🤦‍♀️ This is the first egg - fertile? If yes, I won’t crack any more and let...

    Duck prolapse

    *pictures if you’re squeamish* Discovered my duck Leganés has a prolapse of some sort. Brought her inside, warm bath with a little bit of table salt. Lubricated with a bunch of coconut oil and put it back in. I also tried some drops of Clear Eyes (thinking vasoconstrictors would help). It keeps...

Two Cayuga ducks lay in there, one...

    To incubate or let nature?

    This is my second year with my turkeys. I got three 9/21 Bill, Hilary and Bilary. Bilary went to visit the neighbor’s dogs a few months after and didn’t come back from that one ☹️ I also realized that Bill was a hen, not a tom as promised. So on Craigslist in December I got a Tgiving survivor...

    New from all over

    Hi all...I have been a huge fan for almost a year now and finally decided to "officially" join. I currently live in Mexico and plan to move back to Texas in a few months. I began perusing poultry types and breeds as a solution to a huge grasshopper problem we had last year. I have a three-year...
