I am looking for goslings of both. Located in NYS. Willing to drive a fair distance for the right goslings. Please contact me through email so I do not miss your message. :-) Trying to find new friends to talk geese ... but wanting to start a small flock of cotton patch most of all. :-)...
Okay, I have looked and looked and have not found anything that resembles this kind of slaughter I experienced last night. Hopefully someone here can help ...
My pheasant and chukars were killed last night. En masse .... however .... no beheading.
My coop is not disturbed. No holes, tunnels...
I know that, on occasion, there are chicken and duck eggs that start to be stinky and are still good. But I have one emu egg that is smelling pretty bad ... does it mean it is definitely no good? I hate to throw it out if it might still be good. :-/ This is my very first try at emu eggs and I am...
Nothing serious folks, but I have a few questions. I have four beautiful emu eggs sitting on my counter and I have done a TON of research on them, including incubating ... I have seen mixed info (Of course) regarding temp and humidity. 99 degrees with 25% humidity seems to be the going average...
I am looking for anyone who might have a pheasant that looks the color of the slate blue turkey? I have seen only one ever and would like to find someone who has them. Also, a true black? I know melanistics show black with irridescent colors, but that's not what I mean. I have seen blacks with...
Everyone seems to have a different opinion so I thought I would ask here and see what everyone says ... everytime I look this up on the web, I find that there are differing opinions. Are Alaskan Snow pheasants just a variety of ringneck? Or are they another species altogether? I have seen where...
I just recieved six varieties of turkeys from Porter's (which I am thrilled with, BTW). Question ... I need to band them so I know which are which. Some look almost the same right now. I need to talk to someone with knowledge of leg band sizes since I have never used them other than for parrots...
I am new to the many colored varieties of silkies out there. Am used to the standard blacks and whites. This year I introduced what I believe are "splash" (although still determining the difference between splash and "paint"). I have incubated the eggs and hatched several chicks. All of these...
Hi there ...
I hatched three Alaskan Snows three days ago. They were a little weaker than I like to see fresh out of the egg, but they were up in no time and, considering the length of their legs, it was fascinating to me! They've been fine, eating, drinking running ... acting normal like...
After having watched and read about teh Pea Palace being built, I started playing with ideas myself ... mainly how to get netting to stretch nice and clean with being all wavy, buckled and weird. I'm kinda fussy like that... I like everything "just so", shall we say. Below are two pictures of...
I am looking for Rosy Bill eggs or ducklings ... I am willing to travel a distance to pick them up if the price is right. I have not been able to find any local. If you have any of these available, please contact me. I only put a dollar in the price box because there had to be something in...
I SO want to hatch an emu chick. Just one. Just one cute little emu chick that I can name Daisy (regardless of sex, it will be Daisy). No eggs this time of year is there? Anyone?
I know this might sound bizarre, but I have to ask ... I have two peacocks and two peahens in a nice large enlosure. My peahens came from the same place. Both of my peacocks came from two different places. So, peahens from one place, one peacock from another place, the other peacock from yet...
I have been trying to post a classified ad for about three days and thought at first it was my browser. Now I know it's not. Did I not do something I was supposed to? When I click the start a new ad button, all it does is go back to the same page ... no allowing me to place a want ad. Does...
HI everyone! Question ...does anyone else's silkies (and other chickens too) just stnad out in the rain? I ask because, although they have sufficient cover and a place to go to be warm and dry, they opt to stand in the rain looking like bedraggled little soaked fur balls!!! They start out eating...
Hi all ...
My RP turkey hen went broody about three weeks ago ... she is sitting on some of her own eggs and then some random chicken eggs that were laid in her coop when she wasn't looking. Obviously, the chicks will hatch before her own babies. Should I remove the chicks when/if they hatch...
Hello ... I am totally new to silkie chickens. I have looked at many and based on the condition of their feet and the filth on their toes, feet and foot feathers have steered totally clear. But now, I have four splash hens and a rooster from a friend of a friend with reliable birds and...
