So we just had a heck of a rain storm . Found my duck eggs covered with water. Got them out of the low spot . The hen got back on . What's the chances they are still okay ? She had been on them a little over a week .
I have had chickens for years . I'm looking to add meat birds to the mix . I bought some Cornish rocks from tsc. Just butchered them . What I was wondering what breed would be best that I could have to lay eggs to hatch and birds to raise for meat ?
I got a sick girl . Not eating or drinking . I have been hand watering and feeding crumbles . She is about 6 months old . I already lost one that I found dead . Not sure why she died . Anything I can do for her ?
Any harm in feeding medicated feed to adult birds ? My local mil is selling a quail blend for 10.50 a bag . It's 28% but medicated. It's more then less then half price if anything else close the the protein %
I noticed this knot a week or so ago . I decided to try to lance it . Well I did and it left this nasty whole . Any idea what caused it ? She seems to not be in any pain and is acting very normal .
]First time to have rabbits . They will be meat rabbits . I got 6 does and 2 bucks . They are tamuk . They will be old enough to breed come mid October . Now I just have to figure out how to post pictures via
The does
What would cause my chicks to die in the eggs a day or two before they should hatch ? The temp seems to be stable at 100.5 or so , but one day it was very hot out side and hey got up to 106 . I still had about 12 eggs hatch after that . I also lost maybe 10 that verse already cracking out . I'm...
I'm new go quail ,will be starting to build my coop in a few days . Plan on a&m quail . What kind of incubator do y'all recommend ? I'm going with 4 females 1 male to start with . And migjt move up to 8 females 2 males
I just got our first two . They are Durocs . 8 weeks old . I'm feeding a fermented feed and a pig food that a local feed mill makes . Plan to grow them out and eating one of them .
I have been hatching eggs with my incubator . After several hatch I have other birds die befor always out of the shell . Seems like they are the inside of the egg is very dry and they get stuck .
So I have lost a few bird in the last week . All my bantams . The have a growth on their eyelids . What could be causing this and what do I need to do to fix them ?[/IMG]
