    Cochins or D'uccles?

    I'm looking for an extremely friendly breed. I mean, I want a breed that doesn't take hardly any effort or time to get birds that actually want to be touched and petted, etc. I've had this experience twice before- once with an old english game bantam, and once with a barred rock. Now, in my...

    Chicken breeds and DANDER

    Hello all! I'm allergic to just about everything now that I'm older. Chickens are tolerable so far, but they do definitely aggravate my lungs. The amount of dust that come off of these guys is extreme. With parrots, certain species produce less danger than others. So my question is, do certain...

    How big can a broad breasted turkey get?

    I see that broad breasted turkey toms can get to 40lbs at 20-24 weeks of age, but just how big can one of these dudes get if allowed to grow as long as possible? Also, do the whites or the bronze get bigger?

    What breed are these two cockerels?

    My guess is they are both old english game bantams. I bought them from Ideal in a grab bag. The grey one's name is Pellie. I believe he is a self blue old english game bantam. But he has a tiny bit of darker blue spotting, so I don't know if he is a splash? Or is he a pearl? Or is he none of...

    What breed has been so uniquely selectively bred, in your opinion, that they barely resemble chickens anymore? Do you have one? If so, post a picture!

    gosling biting

    my 3 week old embden gosling is biting me. It is unsexed but I call it a him. He is hand raised and imprinted to me. He loves me! But when I'm petting him or he is sitting next to me, he is almost constantly biting me with a twisting motion. It hurts! I've tried holding his mouth shut, hissing...

    vacations

    What do you do with your birds when you go on vacation? I mean, with a dog, I can just board it at the vet. But if I take a week long vacation, what do I do with my chickens?

    Livestock guardian dog for child with autism?

    Okay, this might be an odd question, but I have a child (4 year old) that has autism. I was thinking about live stock guardian dogs and how they stay with their flock and keep their flocks safe, and I was wondering if anybody thought this could be transferred to children instead of livestock...

    Breeds for short fences?

    Is there any breed of chicken that can be contained in a 3ft fence? I hate to ask this, but would de-winging contain a chicken in a 3ft tall fence? What other poultry can be kept in such a fence? I'm not worried about predators getting IN, as they'd only in the fenced area when I was...

    I live in a neighborhood and have very little yard, and my yard is not fenced. I want to put my chicken coop for my bantams on my back covered deck. I'll let the chickens out in a pen in the grass ocassionally, but my concern here is I don't want the wood of the deck being damaged. It will be...

    Lots of baby bantams, no idea on breeds!

    I ordered these adorable munchkins from Ideal Hatchery. You can see what bantams they carry at: http://www.idealpoultry.com/ This is a hatchery choice bantam special, and they didn't leave any sort of note as to what they sent, so I need help! If you recognize a breed, please respond!

    I bought these 5 from tractor supply. They are bantams, and that's all I know. I have some ideas about genders, but I'd like to hear your opinions. I have no clue about breeds. Chicken #1: solid white. I think it's a rooster, not sure on breed. Chicken #2: also solid white. I think it's a...
