BS chick ID
For those with recent experience hatching Black shouldered. I haven't hatched BS for a couple years now, and I can't remember if they normally have this or not. I hatched a chick that looked yellow with a very obvious gray/silver color running from the back of it's head down its back in a... -
Anybody ever use these leg bands before?
Has anyone had any experience with these? I really need to use something with numbers to keep my records and my babies straight, and these seemed great, but I cannot figure out how I would get them off without hurting the chick's leg. They are easy to close using a needle nose pliers, but once... -
Thank you!
Hey guys I'm obviously a bit slow on the draw these days. I just noticed that someone(s) has gifted me a Gold Feather membership and I need to say Thank you! -
Surprise, surprise! Need confirmation on a genetics question.
I have paired up a White male and a Bronze BS hen, for this season. I do not know the parentage on the White male, but since he is white I assume he cannot carry any Pied genes. He could, however be carrying 1 or 2 copies of WE, without any way to know other than breeding, correct? I was not... -
Another Egg Bound Hen.
Hmmm....I'm really not liking this season too much so far. I have 4 hens who are either having issues laying or are laying weird eggs, I have 3 that are laying just fine, and 7 that haven't even started to lay yet. I need some fingers crossed, prayers, or whatever your willing to send this way... -
Anybody need a couple 6 ml Luer Lock syringes?
Okay, so I am still battling this Sinus issue that may be allergies or TMJ or who knows what until I get a CT of my head done. I have gone from a person who takes no medication to a person who is taking 6 prescription meds and 1 OTC med. .....so as you can imagine I am a bit drug addled these... -
Winter losses?
Not a very cheery topic, but I was wondering how many folks lost Peas this winter, and if they would be willing to share. I am interested in losses attributed to the cold weather as opposed to predators, injury or disease. Perfectly understandable if you do not wish to put this info on the... -
Yet another sex-linked color question!
So we need help from the experts again. Q8 and I have been discussing the color Peach, and we have found that our understanding of how this color works differs on at least one point.... so we thought we would ask all of you. If we paired a Cameo Pied WE split to Peach male with a hen that is... -
Getting the Sportsman Ready...tips, tricks, advice???
Hey everyone, I'm probably jumping the gun a little here since it is once again snowing like crazy! However, I think I'm going to fire up the new incubator and start getting to know it a little better. I have 2 goose egg racks now and I'm wondering if these look like I put them together... -
Sad Day.
R.I.P. Well, I know he isn't a Peacock, but I still liked him an awful lot. I think he challenged my Turkey for her food and she killed him. Hubby was feeding this afternoon and Bandit was fine he threw down some scratch and fed the turkey, then walked away for a couple minutes, he heard a... -
My chickens' new buddy!
So this guy/gal has been hanging around for about a year now. Every time I spot it in one of our trees, I invariably find my free ranging chickens foraging under that tree. It is a sharp shinned, so probably not a threat to any but my smallest Serama, but she is there with the bigger chickens...- DylansMom

Self-mutilating Peahen, anyone seen or heard of this?
Here is one to ponder. I went out and checked on all my birds today, everyone appears to be happy and healthy, but I noticed one of my hens has started doing something she does every year. I had hoped she would not do it this year, but no such luck. This is my approx. 10 year old silver pied... -
Need help ID'ing the color of a BS hen
I went to see a hen today that was supposed to be a Peach BS, however she was definitely not a Peach. I am not sure if she was a Purple BS or a Midnight BS, I was unable to get pictures or a good look at her tail feathers. I did get a good look at the color on the back of her neck/head and it... -
Fecal Results
Well I just got the results back on my $22.00 peacock Fecal! Not excited about the results, just the fact that I found someone in my state who will test it. I sampled from 4 pens, 1 pen contained adults only, 2 pens with 2014 hatch juveniles, and the last sample was from Tsunami, my... -
Help...I have a "Splitting" headache now!
All these splits and sex linked colors are killing me. I have been talking with a very sweet lady who is looking to sell a couple Peachicks, however she is not very good with genetics and has had the parents for awhile so her memory of what they were purchased as is a bit fuzzy. She thought the... -
New Hen doesn't Perch
My new Peach Pied Hen is not roosting on the perch at night, she is sleeping on the ground. Anyone have any suggestions for getting her to go up. She was 14 weeks when I got her and had never had a perch, mine usually are introduced to a perch around 8 weeks and they start using it in 2-3 days... -
Light patch of feathers on my Bronze? Not white, just lighter?
Anybody have any idea why my bronze hen would have this one little patch of lighter feathers? They are definitely not white and she has no white feathers that I've seen. These are more like a tan or cream color. Just curious if anyone has seen this in bronzes before? -
Cameo Pied or Peach Pied???
Here is our newest addition to the flock. We will need some name suggestions from @PeaLover130 , I am so hoping this is a little hen, I am fairly certain it is, but I don't have much experience with Cameos and none with Peach. Her father is a Cameo Pied WE that is supposed to be split to Peach... -
IB BS or Bronze BS....Any guesses?
This chick is going on 8 weeks old and it is obviously a black shoulder, but is it IB BS or Bronze BS, considering the birds in the pen it's egg came from it could be either. I think it's a hen as there is very little dark coloring on it, but I have no experience with Bronze so I would welcome...
