    Sick Guinea

    I live in NE CO and we have had drastic weather changes in the last few weeks. One day it is 70 and the next it is -6. Today I noticed that one of my Fowl wasn't acting right. He is all hunkered down and I can pick him up. When I did he was breathing hard. What can I treat him with? I am...

    Shipped Cream Legbar eggs. Success I think.

    I ordered eggs off of ebay from 3 different people. I put 6 in the incubator from 2 different people and 8 from another. I had 4 of 6 and 5 of 6 hatch. 0 of 8. If I hadn't ordered that last 8 to fill my incubator I would of had over 75% hatch rate. I think that is really good. Can't wait...

    Duck incubating question.

    I have read many different things and would like your opinion. What temp and humidity do you set your eggs at? When they go on lock down what do you increase it too? I am going to try and hatch some of my own duck eggs. Thank you

    sex-link question

    I can never find anything on the internet that I am looking for. If I cross a Wellsummer rooster with a Silver Laced Wyondotte can you get a sex-linked chick? Is there a web page that you recommend to find this sort of thing? I am getting ready to sort my chickens and was trying to decided...

    Ringneck pheasants starting to pip....what to feed?

    I have ringnecks that hopefully will hatch today or tomorrow. My question is what do I feed them if gamebird feed is not available? These are eggs that were found in a hay field after it was cut and the Mama was killed. Thank you

    Can you turn the eggs too much?

    My incubator is pre-programmed and turns the eggs every hour. I did not have a good hatch rate. Do you think it could be turning them to often? I can program it to turn as often or as little as I wish, I was just using the factory settings. I am new to all of this. Thank you

    How do you know how far along Pheasant eggs are?

    While swathing hay today, we accidentley killed a hen. When we came back around the field we saw her and she was sitting on 15 eggs. When I candled them you could still see the babies moving. How would I know how far along they are and when to quit turning? I put them in the incubator with...

    When can you turn Guinea's out?

    I have five Guinea's that are 8 weeks old. When can you turn them out to "survive" on their own? I really don't have a pen for them to roost in at night after I turn them loose.
