2017 is here and for some hatching/incubation has already started, for others it's just around the corner. So might as well get our traditional thread started for the year!
Can't wait to see everyone's new babies whether they might be purebred or crosses.
I wish everyone the best of luck with...
Hi I just got this new baby to be a new companion for my older one that lost its friend & I was wondering what it might be, male or female and what exactly is its color called?
Also this is my older bird, I would like to know what it is as well, gender & name of color?
Thanks for any help...
I just got these ducks last fall they were only a few months old then. Im new to ducks. Could someone identify what breed they might be?
I can post more if needed. The two drakes look like washed out mallard drakes
Edit: these pics were taken last year when they were half grown
Does anyone have any experiences or know anything about Welp Hatchery? Their prices seem to be reasonable on goslings and ducklings but i was wondering if their birds were decent as well.
I have a 2 yr old Tufted Roman gander that is weak and stumbling around when he tries to stand up. He was fine yesterday. Nothing is broken and there are no wounds. Hes acting just like a gosling with Niacin deficiency. It has been really dry here so the grass is not lush and green right now...
Since season is starting to begin for most of us, and with the suggestion of another member, i thought that i should start a thread for all of us who may be incubating or getting ready to incubate our eggs in hopes for some goslings this year. Whether it be by machine or goose or some other...
I recently got two budgies, even though they are young(12 wks old) and i do not know what genders they are, if they are one of each and they mated what would their offsprings colors and markings possibly be? I am not saying that i Will or will not allow them to hatch anything, i am just...
Hi all! I am soon getting a parakeet and i was wondering if they make better pets alone or should i get two? Are they more easy to tame by theirself if they dont have a bird friend or does it matter? I dont want it to be lonely either. Its been a long time since i had one when i was a child. Thanks
A few members asked me to post some pics when i finished sooo...Here are some of my Christmas ornaments that i made using goose eggs. A couple have religious symbols on them if that offends you then stop scrolling now and leave.
These are just painted and decorated i havent gotten into carving...
Since i couldnt find many pics of pied goslings when mine were hatched, i didnt have anything to compare to. Everything that i searched on BYC was either someone asking what i was asking or didnt have pics attached. So im making this thread for people who maybe looking for the same answers i...
These are both Brown Chinese Tufted Roman crosses. The father is the Brown chinese. They are 22 days old and if they are anything like my 2 older groups they have another 3 weeks before feathering out completely. I have pied goslings in this group and in the other groups but they look nothing...
I have two huge mullberry trees full of berries and when ripe like now they fall off on to the ground in a thick layer. Does anyone know if geese can eat mullberries? The chickens pig out of them, but its only a matter of time before the geese find them. I just wanted to know so i can either...
I recently saw a picture of a duck on a pond. It was almost orange in color on its body with a black bill and black tail feathers smooth feathered with dark eyes I do not have the picture if i can find it ill post it but i was
wondering if anyone could tell me what breed it is and if it was a...
My Brown chinese gander recently stole a white chinese goose from my white gander. I was wondering if anyone has this cross and has some pictures of them? Im going to incubate the eggs and im anxious to know what they might look like as adults.
I was recently given a dozen eggs to hatch, they are brown runner crossed with peking. Im not familiar with ducks, this is the first time incubating duck eggs. Will this cross be sterile?
Just set 5 brown chinese eggs in the 'bator. Should be due around april 19th or 20th. Cant wait to see what my pair can do, i just bought them a week or so ago. They are the sweetest pair.
Last spring I Incubated some eggs out of my white leghorn hen "Dumpling" and my golden duckwing pheonix rooster "Elvis" Out of 4 eggs I got 3 pullets and a rooster. 2 of the pullets are black with reddish neck feathers and 1 is black with greyish neck feathers and the rooster is solid white. All...
