So I put my duck eggs (khaki campbells) into the bator at around 5/17 5/18 and 5/19. But I noticed last night that one of them has popped 6 days early? And it looks like one or two more might be in the air cell as well. I'm just really confused. Could they have been sat on and I didn't realize...
Help! My newborn chick has this problem where he can move his hip bown, sometimes clench his 'fist' but cannot extend leg. The leg and foot are also swollen. The other leg is fine. Also I noticed there was some fluid in his neck and head when born, but that has drained. Although he still has a...
Newly hatched chick had a slightly mushy head (fluids have gone down in the neck though) which is probably a good sign that the fluid is leaving. But it has a stiffish neck? Like it dosent want to raise its head? Anything I can do? It also kind of looks like he's getting a bit better, albeit...
I got this silkie at a swap about a month ago and (s)he?? Is around 3.5 months old.
What color would you call this? Blue? Lavender?? And what would you say is the gender, I am leaning towards male.
I am in a behind the scenes class. That's where we build sets for plays and musicals. My final project that I chose was to build a coop. It needs to be small (like 3-6 chickens depending on the birds.) I want something really creative and original to make. I was thinking about using the fallen...
I went to a poultry swap this evening and picked up 22 Beltsville White turkey eggs. They had a few of the adults there as well and they looked very nice, so I decided to hatch some. They we're put into the incubator at 4:00 p.m. Today and should hatch out around May 24-25. I have the incubator...
I have a Flemmie and he is 26 weeks old now ( 6 1/2 months) and I was just curious as to what his weight should be? I tried weighing him but it was probably not accurate. The scale said he is around 9.5 lbs. does that sound right?
Here are some pics of him
I went to tractor supply yesterday to buy feed and it turns out they had some birds there, but only bantams and ducks. The ducks I will post in a different thread. My first guess when I look at these chicks is that they are silkies. But I was wondering what colors maybe?
I had brought four...
So I have two Khaki Campbell ducklings (pure not mutts) that are 6 weeks and 2 days old as of now. Is there anyway to sex them yet or do I have to wait longer?
