    Muscovy egg turned dark

    I have a single Muscovy egg under a broody who up to a few days ago I would say was developing normally (never had or incubated Muscovy before but the embryo was moving when candled). Then one day I didn't see it moving thought nothing of it maybe just it's position with the egg at the time. We...

    Is there anyway to tell? (Budgies)

All the chicks ended up normal light green(wild type) but is there anyway to tell which of them have the yellowface gene?? By looking at their faces I think it would be impossible to tell...

    Silent hamburgs

    I have 2 silver spangled hamburgs that I got from IDEAL poultry (1 yr 3 months old ) that are silent. They have no, and never had any egg song (which I love as an outlaw). Neither of them sing when they lay, they do rarely participate when the other girls do a community egg song. Is this normal...

    So first off, this rooster collar was on a hen to quite her extremely loud and constant egg song (I am an outlaw owner) I have 8 hens, only 4 of which sing, 2 of the four sing loud, constantly and early (very distressing as an outlaw). I made 3 IDENTICAL collars, just an 7-8 inch Velcro strap...

    Amaryllis bulb not growing roots

    I bought and planted a couple of amaryllis bulbs about a month ago and today I accidentally know one of the bulbs while watering and was shocked to see that the bulb just popped out of the soil. There are no roots on either bulb although the flower spike keeps growing on both. Is this normal ? I...

    Sexing ringneck dove ?

    So here's the story, about 3 months ago at the grocery store I came across a very weak looking tangerine dove, it had a band on its leg so it must have been hatched in captivity and then escaped, I caught it easily as it didn't even have the energy to run away.i took it home fed it, and gave it...

    Rooster play date?

    I've got a small flock of 7 birds and would like to expand it this spring but don't want to order chicks again, the hassle and everything, I would prefer my Cochin just brood the chicks for me. The problem is I do not own a rooster nor am I allowed to have one. I do however have a friend in town...

    Repot amaryllis

    Does anyone know the correct time to repot an amaryllis bulb ? I've heard it's when the bulbs are dormant but here in Southern California my bulbs never go dormant. I started with 2 in a pot and over the years have divided and now I have 5, and its a bit cozy for them and think I should repot them.

    Color varieties that have Dom White gene

    Hello everyone, I looking to get a rooster for my flock, I'm not really interested in producing pure bred bird or really extremely prolific layers, just pretty birds as my chickens are pets more than anything else. Ive been messing around with a color calculator and like the chicken colors that...

    First egg without shell or yolk

    So around 7pm (7/24) last night my Hamburg pullet laid her first egg. It was very small which I expected, but was without a shell or yolk, just the albumen and membrane. When do you think she will lay again or start laying "normal" eggs? Thanks everyone
