    Abandoned Banty Rooster - what breed is it?

    So someone dumped a couple of roosters at our farm last year. I guess they thought, "hey, big red barn, good place for the roosters we don't want" Anyway, foxes or something got one pretty quick but this guy is still here and really pretty sweet and timid. Anyone have an idea what breed he...

    How to transport adult geese & ducks?

    Okay, this isn't specifically chicken related but I know many people have other birds, so maybe someone can help with this question. I have a couple of adult geese and a duck that I am selling to someone who's about 400 miles away. She suggested possibly coming by air and taking them home that...

    What do I call this coloring?

    I hope someone can help me out! This is a blue something marans rooster but it doesn't look like any of the other blue marans varieties I have seen. My girls are blue splash and they came from the same hatch. I would just like to know what to call this rooster (besides Rod Stewart. Doesn't he...

    It's a hatching miracle!

    Okay, not a miracle, but a darn fine thing. Our power went out ALL DAY yesterday, which was day 21 on our hatch. Using a Brinsea Eco something. No power from 9 a.m. or so to 5 p.m. in the evening. When the power went out, I put a towel over the incubator. When we realized an hour or two later...

    Embden Gander and Pekin Hen for Sale

    Beautiful Embden gander (male goose on right in pic) for sale. He is fine with me - I raised him from a hatchling - but he is not good with small children, which is why he needs a new home. He is not what I would call super-aggressive, but he does hiss and run at certain people. He's really...

    Today really sucked

    It was like a bad country western song. My sweet 5 year old lab/retriever mix dog died of kidney failure and we had to go pick up her body. While we were at the vet my other dog, who I think was upset by the lab's absence, left the property and was last seen being picked up by somebody in a...

    They're hatching a day early! Advice needed...UPDATE: 14 hatched!

    So I got up this morning to find lots of pips and one hatch. Another trying to get out but kind of hanging limp (is this normal?) over the egg carton. A third just hatched and is still trying to get out of the egg. Since they are all hatching a day early I figured my temperature gauge must be...

    Reason for Turning Eggs Odd Number of Times?

    I've seen it posted in many places that you have to turn the eggs an odd number of times each day. Is there any factual basis for this? Is it just tradition or what? If I'm turning the egg 3 times a day or 4 times a day beginning early in the a.m. and going until late at night (as the hen would)...

    What do you think of these marans eggs?

    I bought them on ebay and they look pretty good to me. On far right is BC marans, next blue/blue splash marans (not as nice). On left I have my own welsummer eggs, BSL and EE eggs. What do you think? Is this a good color for marans eggs? The seller said these were mid-season
