    more than decoration?

    Do peafowl have much value as meat or egg poultry? Or are they pretty much ornamental? Would there be any agricultural purpose in raising them?

    What breed and gender?

    I assumed this was a pullet, but "she" is quite aggressive and has the personality of a rooster. Could it be a cockerel? Also, I hatched this bird from a dozen eggs I got from a local egg seller... so, no clue what it is. I had a broody hen, and stuck a dozen random eggs under her, and this...

    How long will a hen be fertile after separating from the rooster?

    I recently separated all the roosters of a second breed that was among the hens. How long should I wait before incubating eggs to be sure that I get pure breed chicks?

    9 Month Old Welsummer Hen Not Laying

    High humidity and no turning early in incubation

    I have some eggs in my incubator now that are 17 days into incubation. I have new eggs that I plan to add tonight or maybe tomorrow.

    My "hen" is crowing

    This Rhode Island Red seems to be crowing a bit in the morning. We were told "she" was a hen when we got her, but I know they are never sure. We only have one Rhode Island Red, so I cannot compare with any others of the same breed. Can you please help me out? Is this a hen or a rooster...

    Can turkeys, chickens, and ducks all share food? If so, what food should they be given? They range in age from 4 days to 1 month. Right now I am using chicken starter.
