    Looking to buy a tolbunt Polish rooster. Definitely prefer frizzle but may consider smooth feathered if I get desperate enough lol. I'm in northeast Alabama, willing to travel within reason for the right rooster.

    Lavender Orpington chicks hatched yellow

    Hey all! Hope this is the right place to post. I purchased a flock of Lavender Orpingtons a couple months ago. 6 hens and 2 roos. I also have a trio I already had that I keep separate. I hatched about 20 chicks yesterday, a few from the trio, but mostly from the larger flock. Two chicks hatched...

    Strange chick - tiny, not growing feathers

    So I've hatched a lot of chicks over the years but never seen one quite like this. It's about two weeks old. It was smaller than the others when it hatched and is barely growing. It's half the size of the rest of the chicks, even those several days younger. Anyone ever seen this before? Is it...

    Penicillin for goats

    Hey everyone. A few days ago two of my goats were killed and one injured by a couple dogs. The one who lived was hurt pretty bad - the dogs went for her throat and tore it up pretty badly. We brought her to the house and have her on our screened in back porch (at night at least. She's been...

    Karakachans/livestock guardian dogs

    Hello! I just purchased a Karakachan livestock guardian dog to protect my goats. Curious if anyone has any tips or tricks on training a LGD? My pup is almost 12 weeks old and has grown up with both of his (currently working) parents, guarding Alpacas, goats, and chickens. So far he's doing...

    Help identifying duckling breeds

    Hey! So I couldn't resist picking up four ducklings from TSC yesterday. This is my first experience with ducks - I've only ever had chickens (in fact I gave the ducklings to my Silkie to raise - she just hatched some chicks, so I just snuck the ducklings in with them lol.) But I'm wondering if...

    Advice? Hen won't leave the nest with her chick

    Having a bit of a problem with my broody hen and would appreciate some advice as this is my first experience with allowing a broody to hatch eggs (I've previously used an incubator.) This is going to be an extremely staggered hatch - not by choice, but a raccoon destroyed 12 of the 15 eggs my...

    16 week old Crested Cream Legbars in NE AL

    I have decided to put all my Legbars up for sale. I hatched them myself last fall with the intention of selling fertile eggs from them but life circumstances have changed and I won't have time for them this year. All are from Greenfire Farms lines. So with that said, I have: Nine 15-16 week old...

    Chick pipped wrong end of egg

    Today is day 22 for my current batch of CL eggs. One pipped on the wrong end the night before last - so it's been approximately 36 hours. It began trying to zip last night but hasn't made much progress...it's zipped maybe an inch or so. How much longer should I wait before assisting? I'm just...

    Staggered hatch advice

    I currently have 14 Cream Legbar eggs in my Hovabator Genesis. I will be getting 20 more next week. By the time they come in the mail, my first batch should be on day 15 or 16. I was considering getting one of those cheap Little Giant incubators to use as a hatcher. I know most people highly...

    Incubating shipped eggs upright vs on side

    I'm about to begin incubating my first batch of eggs - I have 18 Cream Legbar eggs due to come in the mail tomorrow, and I'm going to pick up some Silkie eggs from a local breeder. (I don't particularly need the Silkie eggs, but I wanted to see if I had a difference in hatch rate between local...

    Which cheap incubator would you choose?

    Hey all - hoping to try my hand at hatching some eggs. At the moment, we'd like to keep an incubator purchase on the cheap side. If this turns out to be something my husband and I enjoy we may upgrade in the future, but that's not in the cards right now. So, right now our options are a used...

    Help sexing Salmon Faverolles

    Hey everyone! Hoping for some help here. I picked up some Salmon Faverolles last week from Tractor Supply and I would love some opinions on their gender. I did some research and found that they can be sexed pretty young, and I have my suspicions, but I'd love to hear from people more...
