    We have had chickens for about two years and are jumping into the goat world! We moved to an acre of property and already have their space set up. Looking at two different options of Nigerian Dwarfs. We want them for backyard pet & milking purposes. I have been doing my research, but often...

    Please tell me pullet... This is my $38 chick that hatched from 15 shipped eggs. The darkening feathers on the wing have me worried. Her comb is pretty pale. About 3 months old.

    Gapeworm- Do I need to treat entire flock?

    I just had a young pullet die from gapeworm. It was an awful experience. She was gone before I could even figure out what was wrong. My question, do I need to worm my entire flock now? What do I use... I read that typical roundworm dewormer won't work, that I should use Safeguard.

    Best of three- Black Ameraucana Rooster

    I'm a newbie to breeding pure ameraucanas. I have a blue wheaten rooster with a mixed flock. We have been hatching and selling EEs for about a year. The EEs and Ameraucanas are our favorite breed. I got my hands on some lavender ameraucana pullets so I want to try my hand at breeding these...

    WANTED- Ameraucana Cockerel or Rooster

    I purchased three Lavender Ameraucana pullets today. I am in Louisiana and have not been able to find anyone else in this state who has Lavenders. I would like a cockerel about the same age or older than the pullets I purchased. They are about four months old. Either black, black split to...

    Chicks don't hatch WARNING: graphic!

    This is deeply disturbing to me. This is my third incubation and we usually have two or three out of 35-40 eggs that do not develop by lockdown and we have to throw out. This has been my worst hatch yet, and first time using an automatic egg turner. I have 16 healthy chicks that hatched In...

    For the year and a half we have been raising chickens, we have not had to deal with illness unfortunately until now. Our favorite hen has been sick for at least a week (that I have noticed). Here are some symptoms: - doesn't leave the coop much (usually find her sitting near the door just...

    Rooster - Ameraucana or EE?

    Let me start off by saying we LOVE this rooster. Either way we are keeping him... I am just curious because we will be hatching our own chicks and want to know if he might carry the blue egg gene. We will be setting eggs from our two blue-egg layers and our black copper Marans. We don't do...

    Breed? Need quick response.

    Was told this is a pure Blue Wheaten Ameraucana rooster. 5 months old... Not familiar with the breed. Just want to be sure before I go pick him up since I have been duped so many times before. I don't need show quality, but I'm not sure this is pure ameraucana. What's throwing me off is that...

    Mallard pair?

    Mallards are 2 months old. I know the one with the white ring is definitely a male. That one also has a lot of green on its head. We are uncertain of the other one. It is feathering in just like the male; however has an orange bill and no white ring. Its back is getting darker and has less...

    Which would you keep?

    We absolutely LOVE both these wyandotte cockerels. Unfortunately, we have to downsize and will be getting rid of one. We have a mixed flock of RIRs, BCMs, and EE's. We MIGHT let a hen hatch out a few eggs each spring (to keep for our own flock or sell as barnyard mix), but other than that we...

    3 week old EE - cockerel?

    We purchased 5 EE pullets from the feed store. Today, at 3 weeks old, their combs are all beginning to change. Two have reddened, one is pale but wide, two you can barely see, etc. they all look different. This is the one I am closely watching.

    Mallard ducklings question

    Our ducklings are about 3 weeks old. Yesterday I noticed one has a very distinct white ring around its neck. Is there any significance to this, such as with gender or something? We have raised mallard ducklings before and had males, but never noticed this type of marking this early.

    Could my cat be pregnant?

    We had an appointment to spay our cat, Gypsy, next month. Her vet wanted to wait until she was six months old, but my husband thinks she is already pregnant. She is normally skinny, but lately her belly feels big and swollen. She is an indoor/outdoor cat, usually inside during the day and out...

    Fertilized egg??? Roo only 4 months old!

    Just curious... we want to begin hatching our own chicks, and I've looked at pictures of fertilized eggs and such. Our rooster is only 4 months old, so I didn't think anything of it when I cracked some eggs to cook for supper tonight. In comparison to some other photos I have seen, it looks...

    I'm assuming this isn't normal...

    Noticed our two cockerels making weird noises, but I figured they were just finding their voice. Now that our Maran hen is wheezing when she breathes, I realize the cockerels are sneezing and shaking their heads. Their eyes are Not watery or swollen, and their noses show no signs of mucus. We...

    Might sell these... Game pullets??

    Is this a game chicken? We traded some roosters for 4 pullets like this one and that's what we were told. We have had them for about two months and are thinking of getting rid of them. They are extremely sketchy, always on edge, very loud and annoying. We have a mixed flock of 22, and these...
