Long story short - I had a "boarding" style agreement with someone and they're failing to honor their end of the agreement. My flock is being neglected on the days I'm unable to make it out out to care for them. They all need new homes ASAP. Most are laying, but I do have some that are too young...
I have a Rouen female and a Khaki Campbell Drake that need a new home. They have been raised together since they were 2 days old and are BFFs and will not tolerate being separated. I had to temporarily separate them when the female injured her leg in May and I was seriously regretting my life...
I have a lone Chinese gosling and had another gosling that was due to hatch and arrive next week, but was just notified the incubation wasn't successful. Open to breeds and willing to drive up to 4hrs - one way.
I was given a Chinese Gosling and a runner duck that a friend could not keep, and I've affectionately named them "Maverick" and "Goose"...and I'm now playing "let's learn about geese." This little one is 2-3 weeks old and while it's getting along with my other ducklings, it's starting to figure...
Several weeks ago, one of my friends gifted me 18, 3/4 day old Bantams. Umm, allllll 18 made it and I have noooooo idea some of their breeds. The Silkies were easy. They're about 4/5 weeks now and I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm looking at....the single chick is Disco Dan (or Danni if it...
I have one egg that has a chick developing in an odd position in the egg. Little Bit is moving and looks to be the size of the others in the incubator...just on this half of the egg the two times I've candled (Monday and Today). At first I thought the air sac might be broken, but it's not. 🤔...
One of my Golden Laced Wyandotte girls laid her first egg a couple of days ago. She's in a tank brooder because she was being picked on my roo and was stressed. I found the egg smashed yesterday in her pen, so she laid it sometime between Thursday, when I cleaned her pen, and when I cleaned her...
First time with a hatchling and I came home to find this little one with something hanging off it. What is it? Should I be worried? Do I need to do anything.
Breed: Olive Egger/Silver Wyandotte
No other hatchlings in incubator
I ended up with 8 Drakes and 2 Ducks when I got Magpies. I’ve tried to rehome them without any luck, so I need to have them processed. I processed several of my other ducks earlier this year, and really don’t want to process ducks again. Local places near me are $15-25 a bird!
Looking for some...
Update:
I opened the egg and the membrane was essentially shrink wrapped around the duckling. The duckling is definitely gone, with only a little yolk left. So sad to lose one so close to hatching!!! 😭
I kept humidity 50-57% and temp around 99.5. What could I change next time to prevent...
I was told I bought three Olive Egger pullets, but two look very much like this...and are making sounds that make me think they might be cockerels. Ummm, these are my first Olive Eggers and I don’t know their cross. Is this a cockerel or pullet?
My chicks are almost 9 weeks old.
I have had my Pekin babies about a week and a half. They are about 6wks and all came to me with HORRIBLE legs/feet so I’ve been treating them with B Complex, swimming, and yard walks in hopes of improving their condition. Three couldn’t walk without tripping over their own feet, so they’d rarely...
Hi y'all! One of my friends linked me to this forum. I don't have chickens right now, but once I move to Mississippi I plan on starting a flock. Right now, it is my son and myself and that is enough to take care of while moving
