After I got home from work today I noticed an extra turkey eating and moving with my flock of free range turkeys. We have wild turkeys about 5-6 miles down the road we see almost every day but we don't see many up at our elevation. She even flew up and roosted with them once it got dark. My only...
I am just wondering how often this occurs? I have a mixture of heritage breeds and they had a few hatch out this last spring that after some research pointed to "Brindle" being the color variety. I keep them all in a mixed enclosure for the winter and then separate into different breeding pens...
here are the pics... (they are supposed to be teal.)
The 2 yellow downed ducklings were supposed to be cinnamon teal and still could be, but the little guy/girl all by its self in a few of the pics is a total mystery? Down color looks to be a little more on the cream to...
Just set some eggs today. My first set of "ornamental" duck eggs.
Bottom row is a grab bag of what we could collect today, (possible Mallard/NA Pintail), two middle rows consist of Mandarin eggs, (except the little one on the end that was also part of the grab bag, Teal of some sort). Other...
I am new to ducks and will be setting a few tomorrow in my incubator (Brinsea oct 20) and setting some under my broody hens (chickens). The eggs will consist of Pochard, NA Pintail, assorted Teal, Mallard, and a few others that the lady was unsure if she would have by tomorrow. I will update...
So here is the 3rd egg that has been layed by my silky Serama. They have gotten a little larger each time but not by much. However none of the eggs have had a yolk in any of them. My concern is that the hen is infertile. Any thoughts?
She is the one on the left. Her sister (on the right) is a...
First off I have two sets of eggs incubating at the moment. #1 16 under two broodies and #2 18 in my brinsea 20 adv. w/ humidity pump. They are due to hatch Mon. the 13th of Aug. I candled the eggs last night to compare the air cell size in the two batches of eggs and it seems the "natural"...
I am looking for a used but not abused Brinsea Incubator. Most interested in the 20 advance EX but would look at a mini if it was the advance EX as well. PM me with any info you have, Thanks.
I am currently on the look out for some green wing teal to add to my ever expanding family of birds. I was wondering if anyone on here bred them or knew of anyone who does? Eggs or live birds are fine. I do know that I am a little early for this but I figured I would start now and try to nail...
Just saying hi to everyone, New to the list but have had chickens for 16 years in one way or another. I cant wait to pick everyone's brains about my new fun and exciting adventure Seramas and Americana bantams.
I just placed my americana bantam hen in with her new man. She has been laying for about a week now. I was wondering how long should I expect to wait until the eggs are fertile for incubation? Thank you in advance!!
