    I got an odd duck!

    So I put in an order through ideal poultry for 8 Swedish ducks. What arrived was 2 blue, 5 black and 1 splash (or so I thought). The "splash" has been growing up acting and looking like a muscovy. She carries herself more horizontal to the ground and her tail feathers and strait out. The...

    Cold weather loving Guinea?

    Meet Snooki! She was a feed store leftover who ending up coming home with my chicken, peacock and duck order! First of all I love her and she is a great flock guard. Secondly, is it normal for an African fowl to LOVE winter and the snow? This picture was taken this morning and it was 8...

    I picked up this boy at the feed store today because he was too handsome not to buy! I am assuming it is a mix, but with what?

    Feed store find!

    It is a hen about a year old. 4 toes so not a Houdan. Maybe just a hatchery quality polish... Why do you all think?

    How to lock a slinding coop door???

    I just finished my chicken door going into the run. My only concern is that it does not lock closed. It seems that a raccoon could easily slide this open and have a chicken dinner. I didn't know what everybody did to lock their sliding doors at night.

    Enough room?

    I know this is an over discussed topic but I am still very confused. I have a converted storage shed (8x8x8) with an attached run (21x10x6 high). The run has a wire predator proof top but no roof. I have 20 chicks right now, 2 roos and 18 pullets. There are two large staggered perches that...

    Starting from scratch after losing entire flock

    I am very excited this spring! I am starting with a new flock of chickens! I lost my whole flock last year when I introduced an adult without quarantine..... BAD BAD BAD IDEA. Coryza spread and killed all but 2. Those 2 are living elsewhere (not here, and with no other birds) and I...

    What is this handsome fellow?!

    I really didn't need another rooster, but look at this boy. I just had to have him. I am sure he is a mixed breed but any ideas? He was looking very sad at the feed store and is a very friendly.

    Cooper's Hawk vs Blind Khaki Campbell

    Well this is just terrible, but hopefully somebody can learn from this. I came home today and noticed it was oddly quiet. All the ducks, chickens, and geese were in their respective houses. I pulled my car in the garage and heard a feather flapping struggle outside the door. I opened the...

    Legal info on Canada Geese

    I recently aquired 4 Canada Geese and it is very difficult for me to keep them hidden. The guy never gave me a copy of his form to sell them so I am kinda screwed and it was a craigslist ad so good luck on me finding the guy again. After much research, I finally found this for for "Sale and...

    Can muscovy drakes fly?

    I have 5 Muscovy hens and 1 drake (Boris). All of them are 1-2 years old. I am very new to scovies and I am in love with them! The issue I am having is the hens love to hang out on my roof and poor Boris has zero flying ability. He paces back and forth on the deck until his girls return to...

    Bought this bantam at the feed store, what is it?

    I got this little girl? at the feed store. I was told it was a hen but I am not sure because it mounts the other chickens. It does not crow and my rooster has no issues with it. It has a pea comb and large wattles. Any guesses on a breed, I guessing mix.

    Check out this unique little duck I just got!

    The feed store today had a whole bunch of different ducks today and I just had to have this call duck. He looks to have a typical mallard coloring but with blue lacing on his back and a very deep red chest. The color almost reminds me of a blue laced chicken. He is very small, about half the...

    What color or possibly breed am I?

    This little guy came out of a mixed flock of sebbies, toulouse, buff, african, chinese, pilgrim, embden, and pomeranian so my question is, any guesses on his or her adult color? His feathers are poking through the fuzz on the top and they are a lavender/blue color; much lighter than my gray...
