    Signature Albums?

    I'm curious how the signature feature for "show off stuff in your signature" (albums) works.. I mean, I know technically how it works, because I've had albums in my signature for ages. But there is one photo album I'm specifically trying to post in my signature (one that's been there for months...

    HELP! Sick goat??

    In advance, I apologize for the novel. I just wanted to be as specific as possible, to help give an idea of what could be going on with her. About the goat: So my DH, son, and I live on a 120+ acre family farm, with our only "neighbors" being family. We have one single pygmy goat doe. Her name...

    Confirm my breed suspicions?

    I acquired these 3 hens yesterday from someone whose pen kept getting raided by predators and I guess these were the only 3 to make it. I have no clue where he got them or how old they are. They have significant damage to their back feathers, that I suspect is from a rambunctious rooster rather...

    Diagnosis help and medications?

    I've resigned to the fact that there is something serious going on in my flock. I've lost many, many birds in my short time with poultry. My gut says MG, but with the seemingly endless number of diseases out there with similar symptoms..who knows. I will find somewhere eventually to have them...

    ETA 10/13/13 - ----------------------------------------------- I felt I was spamming the OH and Hatchalong thread enough with my news on Frankenchicky and Derpy, so here's their own update thread! Incase anyone is interested.. or wants to judge how poorly I care for these kids.. There is no...

    What color is this Coturnix chick?

    Howdy all! I'm new to quails and just hatched some Coturnix today (and one 5 days ago, and a few more taking their sweet time in the bator.). I thought hatching chickens was addicting... these little guys are just the cutest little things ever! Anyways, so far I have some that hatched out what I...

    Help with tractor design?

    I'm attending a big swap next weekend and just know I'll come home with new birds. It's 3 times yearly and I've always come home with something (pig..dog..loads of chickens and ducks). When I've quarantined new birds before, I've kept them in a dog kennel away from the coop, but it's not a...

    A few gender puzzles. Pic heavy!

    These are the ones I'm still iffy on. Sorry the camera is lousy. 1. Gold Laced Wyandotte. Approximately 5 months old. I've been sure since a youngster that this was a roo, next to it's pullet companion that sadly passed away, because it's always had a redder comb and is pretty tall and lean...

    Humidity advice?

    So I just set 19 shipped eggs. All are tiny bantam eggs. All but 2 are very porous. (One shell cracked a bit..my mistake. Put nail polish on and hoped for the best.) What humidity would seasoned hatchers recommend for small, highly porous eggs? I usually dry hatch around 25-30, but I'm not sure...

    White rock gender?

    I usually don't have much of a problem sexing birds but I could use some opinions on this one from those more familiar with the breed and their development. He/she is a White Rock. I have no experience with them but know Rock pullets do tend to get large and red in the combs early. I do have...

    Candling help? Pics. And diary.

    Their story... Today is day 6 for my 14 serama eggs. In a Brinsea Mini Eco (yes, I somehow got them all to fit including 2 with detached air cells in carton cups!). I couldn't contain myself any longer so I candled today rather than tomorrow. This is actually my first time candling live eggs...

    Candled..is this egg good?

    Just got my first shipment of eggs and candled right away. Of 15, only two I positively identified as having detached air cells. This is one of them. It also has this spiderweb/veining that seems to be on the shell rather than inside, like the shell is thinner in those areas. Forgive my...

    Tiny kitten needs help

    My DH found this little baby girl abandoned under a storage shed next to a busy road a couple days ago - no mommy, siblings, or owner to be found. By her size, I'm guessing she's only about 4 weeks old and too young to be away from momma. I've had success raising youngsters before, wild and...

    Best place to buy a Brinsea?

    Finally convinced DH to let me buy an incubator ("my birthday gift" - only a little Brinsea mini Eco, but I'll take what I can get lol). I'll be ordering it within the next hour or two. I've been researching here and elsewhere, though, and while it seems there are mostly good reviews about this...

    Confused. Sexing help?

    Some of you may have seen me post about Daffy before (don't judge, I'm not completely unoriginal LOL he was the spitting image of "the" Daffy as a youngster), regarding what-the-heck breed or mix he may be. Never figured that out, by the way. Anyways, ever since he was a couple weeks old, I was...

    What is this bantam? (And Wyandotte)

    Had to restock on pine shavings today and of course I drove 30 minutes out of the way to the only feed store in the area selling chicks. ;) DH knew I couldn't come home empty-handed. It's an addiction, I'm sure you know. Lol. Anyways, I picked up this little bantam that was in with some golden...

    {3 young mallard drakes, 1 bantam cockerel, 1 silkie cockerel} Looking for good homes - SE Ohio (PIC

    As much as it pains me to say it, these little guys may need to find good homes. We've raised them from day-old and I've gotten attached to them. I don't have to let them go (just don't really want fertile eggs), and will keep them if good homes aren't found. As we have some young chicks and...

    Keeping ducks and chickens together

    I wasn't sure where to post this, but I figured fellow duck-folks might understand better and have knowledgable advise. I apologize knowing this will be a long post. Thanks in advance for reading. Where to start? Well, I currently have 4 seperate groups of birds in 4 brooding areas. There are...

    A Swede who is not.

    So when I first got this baby, I was sure he (she?) was a black Swedish. I already have one slightly older Black Swedish gal and love her so much, I wanted another of her kind. Now he/she is roughly 3.5-4 weeks old and I'm second guessing. I consider myself fairly skilled at recognizing breeds...

    Swap Days in Lucasville?

    Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. It seemed appropriate. Just wondered if anyone is from my area (Lucasville, Ohio) and planning to attend Swap Days tomorrow or Sunday! For our tiny little town, it's a pretty big deal and I hear people drive hours to come. I imagine that's true with the...
