    Goat raisers / lovers...Should I castrate this buckling or not? pic

    First off, I am not starting this thread to debate whether castration is right or wrong or to discuss the methods in which to do it. I do castrate some of mine so I can keep them longer in the herd to process for goat meat. Here is my issue... this goat is different. I want to sell him as a...

    Gender help needed for Mottled Houdans (pics)

    Sorry the pics arent really clear. They are a bit skittish and the wire kept getting in the way. These are my only 2 out of the 25 or so chicks I got from the hatchery. I am hoping it is a pair but I doubt I was that lucky. So what do you think?

    Just wanted to show off my Silkie as a new mom (updated photo)

    I saved back my one silkie hen's eggs for over a week in case she went broody and low and behold, she did. Twenty some odd days later, I pick her up to find... Her name is Winn and she hatched 5 out of 6 eggs. I know it is silly but I am so proud of her!

    Tiny Egg

    We found this on the ground where several of our chickens hang out. I thought it was a rock but my husband was convinced it was an egg and he was right. I believe this is what they call a "fart egg" though I hate that name.

    I know Silkies gender is near impossible (lots of pics)

    But I would love some educated guesses! None are crowing or laying eggs. I dont know exactly when I got them but I am pretty sure it was in the summer. I have 8 of them and honestly cant tell most of them apart. I am just hoping I have at least 1 rooster and at least 2 to 3 hens...

    The egg that didnt hatch - Graphic pics

    I put 7 eggs in my Little Giant Incubator. One was not fertile, 5 chicks hatched, 1 chick died within 24 hours & 1 egg didnt hatch. 48 hours after the others had hatched we opened up the remaining egg. The chick was dead. We did the sniff test with the egg before we opened it up with no smell...

    The chick is coming out! Lots of pics! - Sad update, one died.

    I am new to incubating and the first 2 tries were failures but it looks like this time I will get a chick or two. There are 6 eggs in the bator and 5 have been cracked by the chick inside. Wooooo Hooooo! Just thought I would share!

    Family argument - a pullet or cock? (pics)

    My uncle has alot of experience with chickens but I am just sure that "Henboy" is a pullet. She / He hangs out with my rooster and has never crowed and has no spurs. My uncle says that it is a cock because of the long neck, thick legs and large comb. Henboy is about 3 months old. I would love...

    Do ducks get lice when with infested chickens?

    I found out my chicks have lice. I have seperated and treated the chicks with Sevin 5. Is it likely that my ducks have it? Can you treat ducks the same way? I would love to hear from someone really knowlegable about ducks. I really need to know if it is safe or even necessary to treat them. Thanks.
