Hey All, I'm moving out of southern California in about two weeks. One of the many fun parts of my particular career is I don't know where exactly I will be moving to, but I do have it narrowed down a bit. So, I'm expecting to either move to New Mexico, or Minnesota. Yes, I know that's a big...
I have two pekin's I hatched a few weeks ago. They are about 4 weeks, and are under a heat lamp in a brooder. Temperatures at night have been in the high 20's, and day time temperatures have been in the low to mid 60's. Can they safely be left outside without a heat lamp? Can I put them with my...
I have had several chickens die off over the last several weeks and I'm at a loss.
The first one wasn't vaccinated for Marek's, and I believe that's exactly what got her. She was a White Leghorn and died at approximately 9 months after she stopped laying a month prior. She stopped eating...
Well, Google has failed me, again. Can I feed my pet Jenday Conure chicken scratch grains as a treat? I typically feed him Zupreem parrot diet, but was wondering if I can give him a 5 grain scratch as well (TSC.)
Thanks!
This morning I found my 25 week old red sex link missing most of her her comb, which was growing in, and a bloody wound on her neck. We arein the middle of establishing a new pecking order. She is the only one who has been injured.
I picked her up from someone who is giving her away on...
I just picked up two ducks from some guy who was giving them away. A breeding pair that hatch their own eggs. He had them over a year and didn't have a clue what they were.
The dark one is a male, and I believe he is a Cayuga mix. His head and neck are a deep green, the rest of him is...
Well, it's time for that question again. Boy or girl?
First up, we have a 14 week Black Copper Maran. Boy or girl? I was leaning girl, now I'm not so sure.
Next, we have a Barred Rock, approximately 9 weeks old. Boy or girl? Thought it was a boy, now I'm doubting myself after...

Well, the coop is just about done and we're going to start building our run. I'm planning a 32' x 16' x 6' enclosure with the posts as 4" x 4" PT wood, the top and bottom rail as 2" x 4" x 16' PT wood. For the fencing, I was planning on 1" poultry wire reinforced on the bottom 2 feet with 1/2"...
Hello, I was thinking my girl was a White Plymouth Rock, but now I'm not too sure. She was a yellow chick, and is smaller than my RIR who is the same age. She is all white, except now she is getting a light brown/beige around her neck. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hello everyone, we recently bought two quail and have started getting one egg a day. The two birds are about the same size, but only one is laying. I believe they are Japanese Quail, but not positive.
Can anyone tell me if they are both female or if one is a roo?
Thanks!
