So I had two barred rocks join my flock about about 3-4 weeks ago. I know nothing about them except I am assuming they are barred rocks. I think they wandered from a neighbor.

I picked up my babies this morning from the post office. I have no clue what they are but narrowed it down to Toulouse or African . Any clues ? One has pinkish dye on its forhead so I'm assuming I have 1 male and 1 female.

Hi, I'm new to the world of geese. I have 2 arriving tomorrow. I've been reading thru pages and pages of posts. I was just wondering if anyone had some tips for me. I already have ducks so I'm not new to waterfowl but are there anything with geese that I should know? Thanks

Ok so I had my first hatch of the year and 4 our of 6 eggs hatched. I didnt think the other two would since they were frozen when I collected them, so no biggie. Anyway on the last night of ducklings hatching my humidity went down below 50%. The last two ducklings had a hard time hatching, I...

So after looking thru many posts about RIR's (Rhode Island Red) , NH's (New Hampshire) , and PR's (Production Reds) it has me wondering what I have. I have been assuming they are RIR's since they were packing peanuts. But are they? Or could they be PR's? I doubt their NH's since they are so...
