I have 3 hens, all about a year old (I hatched them) that have not even started laying. 1 BCM 1 Olive Egger 1 Black Australorp. None seem to be molting. I dewormed them all with wazine recently and they all have good weights. No mites or lice. Added BOSS for extra protein a few weeks ago...

I have 2 hens I consider Blue that I want to put in with my Chocolate drake for sex link babies. When i first got them they were both blue, but now one is all blue, and the other is blue but has started to get some brown in her as well. Would you consider this Blue Fawn, or still Blue? My chart...

Well I went and got some eggs today to put under my my broody muscovy duck who just started sitting on her eggs yesterday, I went home and put them in her nest.. but now, as I'm texting the lady I got the eggs from, she told me that her ducks had already been sitting on these eggs for about 3...

My chocolate muscovy duckling hatched out 9 ducklings and I have 2 that are all yellow, no hint of brown or any other color. Will they be all white or can they turn chocolate colored like momma? Dad is black pied. I only ask because I have a friend whos been looking for all white muscovies and...

I have 12 Muscovy ducklings due this Saturday (my first time letting her sit on eggs), so I'm planning on separating momma duck from my other duck and drake tomorrow.. my pen has a small man made pond in it and I was wondering should I make it so the ducklings have no access to the pond until...

One of my ducklings started hatching last night (2 days early) I noticed it had pipped so I upped the humidity and went to bed.. this morning I got up it had made a little hole where the pip was but other than that no change. I took a peek in the hole and saw the membrane was stuck to his beak...

I have 2 female Muscovies, 1 that I got this year (lady said she was 1 or 2) has started making a nest and she is now up to 10 (1/day) I believe I've read in one of these threads somewhere that I should limit the amount of eggs she has for the first time a duck goes broody (assuming this is her...

I have some 5 week old chicks and was *hoping* you guys could help me sex them. They are Lavender Ameraucana x Jersey Giant or LA x Easter Egger cross, except for the white one which is Australrop and what I thought was a White Rock hen but this chicks coloring says otherwise.. #1 #2 #3...

Picked up all 3 of these chicks straight run from TSC. I *think* I got lucky and have 3 pullets! #3 is a little questionable though, and I'm no expert lol. What do you guys think? #1 #2 #3

Hello, I'm in SE Michigan and have 3 Muscovy ducks and neither of my ducks have laid 1 egg yet! The 2 mostly white ones (1 duck, 1 drake) are 8 1/2 months old and the other duck who is 1/2 yrs I just got last week.. has anyone else in my region gotten any Muscovy eggs yet? Or am I just being...

Just came in to find this egg (day 22) has pipped outside the of the air cell, and on top of that, I think it has only externally pipped, not internally, so it's not getting any oxygen. I havent seen any movement since I came in either.. should I assist and break the membrane so it can breathe...

Ok this is my first time incubating chicks in my home made incubator, today is day 4 and I'm excited to say that after candling today all of my eggs are veining! :) But, this one is different. It seems to me like a double yolk, but all of the pictures I've googled look different from this. You...

Has anyone hatched Australorp(roo) x RIW(hen) chicks? Im thinking they will be black, but im curious if anyone has gotten a unique color/pattern from this cross..

Ok, so I made this forced air cooler incubator a couple days ago and im having trouble getting the humidity to 50%. With the bowl pictured, my humidity was at 80%, so i did some research, and read that I can lower humidity by reducing surface area of water. So I downsized to a shot glass, and it...

I'm loving the idea of pallet coops and have seen some really great creations! This is the start of my first pallet project, just a little duck run for when my Muscovy lays this spring.. I think it's turning out really cool! Anyone have pics of a large coop made out of pallets? Ones that...

Ok so I have a hen that has vent gleet. None of my other hens have EVER gotten this, but with her, I can't seem to get rid of it! I've tried everything I've researched: ACV, Probiotics (both yogurts and topical food powders), epsom salt, topical ointments, warm baths, even did a round of...

My friends are all in awe over my brown eggs, so I want to throw them off by getting a couple easter eggers ;) Figured I'd try to find some that need a home but if anyone has some locally please contact me. Thanks

I have a hen I believe has favus (white on comb, "honeycomb" skin on top of being quarantined for vent gleet that even after a week of treatment hasnt seem to be getting any better.. the today while washing her dirty butt I discovered a large squishy abscess on her neck so she will be culled as...

I just started my flock in June with 6 chicks I got from Destiny Farms in Milford. All but one survived (my silkie drowned itself.. ) and I just recently got a few more starter pullets , a couple chicks Mike gave to my son and a Rooster! So now we have: 1 Australorp rooster 1 Isa Brown hybrid...

The one in question is the gold one. Im new flock owner, got my first chicks on June 1st and they're all doing well but I'm really confused about this gold one! You see, I also have 2 Isa Brown hens, 4 RIW hens, and a White Leghorn hen and they've all been laying for about a month now, but not...
