Okay, I have a bit of a niche ISO. I have a small farm of all roosters, drakes, and then my sheep. I have one bachelor flock that coexists perfectly in my front yard, I have one rooster that lives with 2 drakes in the back, and then I have a rooster that has been healing from having his entire...
Clearly Cracker is an easter egger and daddy had to be an Ameraucana, as the lady who I got the eggs from only had Ameraucana and BCM roosters. All his siblings are dark with fuzzy legs and then there's Cracker over here 🙈 bless his heart. He's white with off-white back feathers, and has dark...
So my sweet little old hens are apparently very good at whopping cockerel butt 🙈. They're 4 years old and never dealt with any man other than my 2 drakes, which they also put in their place as they got older. All 3 of my cockerels are scared of my 2 black sex link hens. Whopper my BCM has...
Alright so definitely a BCM mixture, but now theres silver lacing showing up. I know the eggs I got were either dark like BCM eggs or Ameraucana. So the barring to me doesnt seem right to be an olive egger. She also had cuckoo marans......so potentially BCM x Cuckoo maran??
My BCM cockeral has recently had his surge in testosterone, mated a hen yesterday and thinks hes just the man.
Well today out of no where he singled out my buff cockeral Peep multiple times. Chased him down, ran Peep behind a Bush, two other times he ripped feathers out. My BCM grew up with...
Call me crazy, but the other week I joined a group on Facebook devoted to finding snail mail pen pals and surprisingly a lot of people are apparently interested in it. So it made me think about how nice it would be to find a pen pal that has chickens and sees them as a major part of their life...
Okay I posted here maybe a week or so ago about my mallards foamy eye. Today it looks much worse than it has been looking, more puffy around the eye and more bubbles. Like he can barely close it.
No sneezing coughing or anything respiratory. I've been putting triple antibiotic ointment on it...
I really enjoy bringing my baby chicks outside when it's hot and I'm outside with them. That being said the knats also enjoy hanging around the babies. Is there anything I can do to protect them from the knats that wont hurt them?
So I got some hatching eggs that recently hatched out. All the babes were either fathered by a Ameraucana or a BCM. And I picked out eggs that were either dark like a BCM or blue green so I was pretty sure I had gotten eggs that were one of the 2. Except to make 27 I did pick out a rather large...
Hey all! So far I've hatched out 11 chicks that are either Ameraucana or BCM, or a mix of both which produces an olive egger. The oldest chicks hatched out Thursday, and I have more that have pipped today. Please message me for any additional information if you're interested in purchasing some...
Okay the bird is still hideous and still has awkwardly no feathers?? She/he will be 7 weeks this Thuraday! I'll post pics of his buddies of the same age.
I mean seriously?? What the heck?! 😂
Its day 6 and I broke bad and finally candled my babies! Eek! I saw veins and little tiny embryos. I cant even believe I was able to do it....I've been so worried that it wouldnt work at all. And I have babies in there 🥰🐣🐣
My mallard drake has some foam in his eye and the skin above his eye is raw. I figure it got injured since hes been battling his khaki Campbell brother this whole mating season. They have plenty of clean water that's deep enough to submerge an entire duck and no signs of any respiratory issues...
Okay we all have them...that one bird that just well its going through a phase 🙈😅. This is my current fella, and everytime I look at him I cant help but think about how less than pretty he is at the moment 🤣.
I'm a major type A, overthinking, stressing everything has to be perfect kinda person and I just pressed buy on an incubator! It's the incuview that's fully auto and holds 27 eggs 😁. I've literally been stressing like a week wondering should I, shouldn't i, should I?? I mean do I really need a...
In search of an incubator. Was casually looking at the incuview and nurture 360. I'm not super picky but I do want something that is reliable and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I'm located in NC 😊
Question, can ducks or chickens get horse hair worms from freshwater shrimp?
I just got some ghost shrimp for my aquarium and one clearly has a rather large wormy in it. Theres apparently no way to cure it and itll likely die when it burst out. Soooo, I read the worms are harmless to humans and...
