I went to a swap. I saw 2 chicks I had to have. I thought they were Naked Necks, well I was wrong. The person selling them told me they were Madagascar Gamefowl. Looked them up the chicks look exactly like them. My chicks are Black and Yellow, turning Black and White, of course. I was also told...
Also need help with Fuzzy/Fluffy Cheeks. She goes by either one. Any ideas? Scroll down a bit for her pictures.
I got this little one out of the Bantam Assortment Big at Tractor Supply. I got a little Black Fluffy Cheeked Bantam and I wanted to get him a buddy out of the same bin, and picked...
I haven't posted in a while. Hmmmm... I have a mixed breed Gander name Gremlin. Just recently I got 2 African Goslings from a someone local and brought them home. Put them in a large dog kennel outside on the back porch. Guess, who got on the back porch with them....That's right. Gremlin did...
Some I am just not sure on...
What breed/gender are these? These 3 are really really tiny!!
Number 1: Fluffy Cheeks. Solved. EE Hen.
Number 2: Unnamed. Still a mystery!
Number 3: Another Unnamed. Still a Mystery.
What gender are these??
First up, my only silkie...
I bought hatching eggs awhile back. The only breeds they have are White Crested Ducks, Runners, and Mallards. I have two white ducks from the eggs. No crest or anything. They don't stand up like runner. I have runners and mallards from the batch, but some dogs got them. These 2 are the only I...
I recently purchase a trio from a swap. But the guy could not remember the breed, but they are from a hatchery. I forgot to ask which hatchery.
I also picked up this large fowl hen and I am wondering what she is. I am thinking Dark Brahma or a Cochin. The guy I...
Can female geese have blue eyes? Just curious. I have 3 geese, all mixed breeds. One of them, my newest goose, sounds completely different. And I everytime I pick him/her up the other 2 try to "attack" me. Like they shake their head and hiss. I just got the newest goose yesterday. I didn't think...
Got this pullet with 4 other pullets. Supposedly a bantam. Definitely not, she is big as my Naked Necks. Sorry some pictyres are blurry. I will get some more later.
Okay, so I separated my little Bobwhite from the 3 naked necks. Gave him a clean feeder and waterer.
What are some ways to give him Electrolytes?
Can I give him ACV with the "mother" in his water?
What is a good sized cage for a single quail? And a trio of quail?
Here is my first quail that I got at a swap. I am pretty sure he is a he and a Bobwhite. Right now he is sharing his cage/home with 3 naked necks. They got to cold outside. He actually helps the grey/blue clean. xD
So I picked up 2 large hens at a local swap. A buff color hen and a reddish colored hen. We were told one is an older hen and the other is a POL hen. The dark red one is the one that bit me, while my mother was holding her. The large red mark on my hand is the bite mark. My mother was holding...
I got a little Button Quail from a Poultry Swap. He is my first Quail ever! I didn't like quails at first. But he is sticking cute! His facial markings are a bright white, not the off white, so I am assuming he is male. He still has some of his baby down, but he has 90% of his adult feathers. He...
I am wondering what the 2 White ones are. One is pure white and the other is a White/Blueish color. They are the same exact size as the 2 mallards. They are WAY smaller than the Cayugas. Quackers is the white one, which I thought he was white pekin. Well, he turned 1 this year and he is a boy...
I got some geese off a Craigslist ad. I was told one was a Toulouse, and the other he didn't know what it was. I was also told they were a pair. Any help would be great.
P.S. They were an early Christmas present. And they have lovely attitudes. No hissing, except at the dogs.

Well, I thought it was time to get the ladies at new man. The eggs in the incubator were duds and something happened to Roo, Jr.
The hens egg production has been slow and very bleh. So we looked on craigslist for a few days. We...
So I haven't posted in a while. Well, my lovely sweet Roo passed away this past week. My mother is the one that found him. She said he it was like he fell asleep at the base of the roost. I am sick to my stomach and about to be in tears just posting about it. I knew he wasn't supposed to live...
And in the middle of the night, too. hahaha
It isn't the best looking. But I am very proud of it since it is my first one. Pictures are below. Later I will get some pictures of it on one of my Hens.

This is Mannie. He is a Royal Palm Poult. I had 2, but something got one. He was 7 Weeks Old, when I got him. From my research. This Saturday on July 14th, he/she will be 13 weeks old.
When the smaller one was alive, Mannie would strut and Gobble. But his looks still don't convince me. Are we...
So I have decided to post pictures of my Roo, Mrs. Roo, and Big Momma. I got Roo and Mrs. Roo from the Cornish Rock bin at Tractor Supply a YEAR AGO. The babies came from very light brown eggs. And the pictures of the babies are about a month old. They are getting their feathers in now. One of...
I have 3 hens, a D'Uccle, a Frizzle Mottled Japanese, and a Cayuga duck hen. All them decided they are going to set on eggs. xD
I am not even sure the eggs are fertile. I don't think my mother's pekin drake can even reach his to black cayugas. He is a little fart.
The D'Uccle and Japanese...
