Last spring I bought some hatching eggs off craigslist- supposedly they would be silkies, polish, and laced wyandottes. Well, out of all the ones that hatched, they were polish and polish/silkie crosses. I have two mysteries however. One turned out to be a large buff colored hen, very similar...

I posted this in the classifieds but am not hearing from anyone so I hope it's alright to post here. I didn't even realize there was a classifieds part of BYC until I went looking on where to post this. It'll be gone in a second if I post on Craigslist but I wanted to see if anyone on BYC in...

I've got a little guy that was snuck into my broody hen's nest the day I stopped counting and locked her up (so about two days before her eggs hatched). That batch hatched on the 1st of October. I stuck the egg in my incubator because it was already growing when I candled it and I figured why...

I have a really nice wine fridge I got for free last year intending to turn it into an incubator. It doesn't cool which is why it was free. We recently decided we have too many other projects and our little styrofoam incubator works just fine for our needs. So... Who wants this project? I'd...

We slaughtered our 6 three month old roosters two days ago. The 5 hens from that group have refused to get down from their roost ever since. We have a younger set of chickens who are two months old and now that the big boys are gone, a couple of the roosters are acting out and attacking all...

I have a turkey poult that hatched about three weeks ago. When he was a week old, I found him on his back. I've been hand feeding him though I do see him eating on his own too. I don't see him on his back anymore but he walks with his head barely skimming the ground. (for some reason, it's...

This is my first year with geese and my pair of Chinese geese just hatched their first brood. They are enclosed in a large yard with grass in half and trees in the other half. There is a seasonal pond in the fall and winter but it's dry now so I have a small wading pool for them. My...

We acquired a year old pair of Chinese geese and a year old flock of turkeys, (three female and a male) from the same people. They were raised together so we put them all in a large fenced area together. The turkeys started a nest in the woods but none of them hatched. Then the geese started a...
