I am getting some Sebastopol goslings and am worried about angel wing. They will not be able to graze until the the middle of May/June. What do you guys recommend for food, protein etc? How much nutritional yeast and/or Poly vi sol should they get day.. I havent had geese in over 10 year and boy...
I put my eggs in egg cartons pointy side down then flip the eggs 3-5 times a day. I have Hovabator 1588’s. I have had success with this in the past. But I have been reading that it is better to have them in an automatic turner and leave them pointy side down. Is this true? Should I buy a...
I am worried about my silkie roo. He seems to have lost his crow. Its like he has laryngitis. He seems fine, no signs of being sick. What could be wrong?
I have a 6 month old frizzle pullet that has had a watery eye since she hatched. She is fine in every other way except for her eye. I treated the eye with terramycin, that didnt help. Some days it is worse than others. Sometimes there are a bunch of bubbles in the corner of the eye. I wipe it...
Rock vs Orp. I have a splash roo and a blue roo. I cant remember who is who. I know Rocks are smaller than Orps, but are there any other signifigant differences? I think they are both Orps, am I right?
Here is my question. I have pullets of every color. Does it really matter what color roo I use? I am assuming the chicks will also hatch in an array of colors? Is there a dominant color?
Does anyone have a brooder lamp with these types of guards? Where can I buy them??

This is the first day
Today, he is taking...
I had a very bad morning. What I think was a family of raccoons killed 6 chickens, 9 ducks and got a hold of one of Sebastopols. The seb got away but not without about 20 punctures in his neck. He is doing ok. I cleaned/shaved.treated the area etc. But my question is if the raccoon had rabies...
I have a 7 month old pullet that has been laying consistently for about 2 months. Over the past 2 days she has been staying in the dog house where she lays her eggs. But she has not laid anything. It has been very hot here this week and I have been checking for an egg then taking her out so she...
How long do you have to give a silkie Vit E with Selenium to see a change with wry neck? Once the bird is better does it go back to normal? Will it reaccur?
I think I finally figured out how I want to build a few coops. The coop 6x8, 5 ft tall raised off the ground with nestboxes attached outside. The attached run will be 8x15, 6 ft tall. How many bantams, how many standards can fit comfortably?
I have to keep logging in. This has been happening for a few days. I was reading posts on a topic, went back to index and had to login again. Whats the scoop? This has never happened to me before. Its very annoying, lol

Black x Splash will yield 100% Blue chicks
