    Chukars

    I raised 51 chukars from chicks to 17 weeks on 18% chicken feed. We processed 10 the other day, some we plucked, some we skinned. Let them set in the refrigerator for two days. We fried some, roasted the others. My question is this, do all chukars taste like chicken, because the ones we have...

    I have been running a breeding pair of Pilgrim geese with my Muscovy's and I'm wondering if anyone else has run geese and Muscovy's together during the broody season?

    Question about Bobwhites.

    Would it be better to purchase adult bobwhite quail from flight pens (have several that sell in my area) to begin raising them or buy hatching eggs? I can see some pros and cons to both. I guess the bottom line is this: is there a huge difference in size, enough to justify buying hatching eggs?

    Comparing Taste Question

    I recently purchased some average size Coturnix: browns, whites, goldens, and some tuxedos. I culled several roosters from each color, we fried the leg quarters and breast meat. The flavor of each was excellent. I am wondering if the Jumbo browns or Texas A&M's taste different and/or better? In...

    Bought Quail

    I had thinking for a while about getting some quail. I was figuring maybe 8 adults to start and see if I liked them or not. Well, as usual, I went overboard (anyone else have this problem?) and purchased 28 Coturnix quail. I picked up 14 browns, 7 whites, 4 golden's, and 3 tuxedos. As usual, I...

    Delaware Yolk Color

    I have several types of brown egg layers including Delawares, RIR, BO's, etc. I have noticed to my dismay that the Delaware egg yolk color is light yellow, like store bought egg yolks, while everyone else has orange, like a home grown egg should look. They are all eating the same stuff. Is this...

    Goose Laying Question

    I have a breeding pair of Pilgrims that were hatched out early this year in February. I have raised them since they were 4 days old. They are grown now and acting like hormone charged teenagers. Today while filling up their water tub, my goose got in and the gander followed and well, nature...

    Sick Chickens

    I have a student who has leghorns about 10 weeks old. They came from a commercial poultry farm and they started dying on him. They throw their heads back and curl their necks. They became paralyzed and can't walk. Within a couple hours, they die. Any ideas out there of what it is? Or how to cure it?

    Buff Ducks- tell me everything

    I bought at least four buff ducklings in a group of six. I have read everything from the extensions, feathersite, and the like. What I would like is someones personal experience with them. For instance, how do they lay, do they brood, how long in the year do they lay, when do they start, how do...

    Do Pekin's have smut?

    I picked up 6 ducklings at the feed store, straight run, assorted. Half the fun is figuring out what they are. One is definitely a Pekin as he is growing quickly and is a pretty yellow with pink bill. Four are different as they have a yellow background but also some dark smut coloring around...

    I have two Narri hens and a tom, all young maybe 6-7 months. I was expecting to have eggs maybe in March, not today. One layed outside in the coop with out building a nest.

    Goose and cedar tree, who will win?

    I recently bought some American Buff geese and the best place I have to build a permanent home is under a large cedar tree. The tree is about 12 inches in diameter in the trunk with overhanging branches, and is about 20 plus feet tall. My questions are, will the geese hurt the tree? or will the...

    Need Goose Opinion

    I have a chance to purchase an American Buff gander and a Tuft Roman goose. Would this make a decent cross-breed? They are very attached to their present owner, so would they attach to me or just attack? In other words, should I get them or just wait to spring and buy some goslings? Any input...
