    Rooster talking turkey??

    One of my Black Copper Marans roosters (a year or so old) has just started making noises that sound like a turkey gobble. He's healthy and fertile, but I've never heard a rooster make a noise like this before. I've been around chickens all my life, 50+ years, and this is the oddest sound I've...

    Ameraucana Egg colors

    Do true Ameraucanas lay only blue eggs or can they lay cream colors? I was sold bantam eggs that were cream colored, and got a vairety of lavender, black and (I think) blue chicks. I was told that they were supposed to be true Ameraucana bantams, but I thought true Ameraucanas laid only blue...

    When do Gold laced Orpingtons start to lay?

    I've got a couple of gold laced Orpington hens, one is 6 months old, and the other is 7 months old. Neither one has started to lay yet. Is this normal for the breed?

    Ready made Chicken Tractors-Which one is the sturdiest?

    I've been looking at the ready made chicken tractors, and a lot of them are not very sturdy and don't look like they will last long. Does anyone out there know of one around $500 (or less) that they would recommend as being a nice, sturdy one for a few chickens? I know building my own would be...

    Roosts-Installing a dropping shield

    Has anyone ever installed a dropping shield under their roosts to stop the droppings from falling to the floor directly below the top roost? I'd like to use some of the space under it but I need something to direct the droppings closer to the front, lower roosts, and not directly under the top...

    How do you administer Flubenvet when the bird won't eat?

    I have a young Orp that is "gaping" but won't eat. I've been giving it doses of Avitrol Plus, for a couple of days now, and it doesn't seem to be helping. I have Flubenvet, but the bird won't take it on a grape and I can't jam the powder down it's throat. Has anyone mixed a paste with a bit...

    What is my little Orp?

    I was supposed to get blue, black or splash, but this doesn't look like a splash. Is it a cuckoo? I think it's a hen, too, but I'm not positive.

    Color Question about breeding Orpingtons

    I have a beautiful little splash Orpington hen chick from a batch of blue/black/splash eggs, and I'm wondering which one of my roos I should pair her up with..a lavender roo, or a big black, split lavender roo. I have no idea which way to go with this, as I know nothing about genetics...

    My poor roo is going to choke to death

    I got this beautiful roo about 2-1/2 months ago, and 6 weeks after he arrived, he started this rattly wheezing sound. He's never gone off feed or water, has been chasing the hens around, and has been otherwise healthy looking, except for this rattle. A couple days after I noticed it, I gave...

    Suggestion for Breed search feature

    Just wondering if it's possible to add "Egg color" to the Breed search, to make it easier to search for birds that lay various egg colors.

    Silkie hen wheezing and regurgitating

    A day or so ago, when I went to move my Silkie trio from their inside cage out to the outside pen, one of the hens regurgitated all over the place when I picked her up. I also noticed that she is making a wheezing, gurgling noise when she breathes. She has been looking ok, otherwise, I didn't...

    Faverolles with Silkies?

    Hi: I'm interested in getting some Standard Faverolles, and I've read that they are a timid breed, often bullied, and should be kept separate from other breeds. How would they fare if kept with Silkies? Will Silkies boss them around too?

    Silkie Tractor Question

    I want to build a tractor for my Silkies and would like to know how big to make the little coop. I've got 10 new chicks, and 2 adult hens. From what I've been reading, there doesn't seem to be any value to making one that has two stories, since most of the time they won't go too high anyway...

    My Ducks and my garden ponds-Please give me ideas!

    I'm hatching out a few little mandarin ducks and I've got 2 ponds in my back yard that I'd like to give them access to. The trouble is, my poultry runs are in another part of the yard, and I can't attach them to the ponds, because #1 I don't want to ruin the look of my back yard with pens, and...

    Two questions-Silkie gone broody

    Well, just when I said Mabel, my Silkie didn't want to brood, she decided to stay on her nest all day today. So, I'm guessing she's finally decided to brood. She's got three of her own eggs under her, but it's been about five weeks since we brought her home. Thus, my two questions: 1-Would...
