    Fresh chick head vibrating back and forth?

    I have a fresh from the egg Belgian D'Uccle. It hatched maybe 2 days early. Shipped eggs and only 3/12 eggs even began to develop. The other 2 eggs have not even pipped yet. He unzipped on his own. Anyways, he is out walking around in the incubator still which is still at 37 degrees. There is a...

    Damn! Damn fat broody turkey

    So we have a Beltsville turkey and she was starting to get broody, spending more and more time in the nest. So we figured best way to bust it is just to have her hatch some out. We don't have a tom, so we just decided to throw a couple fertalized buff orpington eggs under her. Well we candled...

    Finally building my own incubator!

    Looked into available incubators and they really seemed expensive for what you get. Decided to build my own. Decided on some insulated plywood and coated foil foam for the design. So started playing with the 3D modelling software both for fun and to get part dimensions. Looks like the turner...

    Make or female beltsville?

    It is a 4 month old beltsville. Just wondering on what the sex might be. Still has fuzz on the back of its neck which Ive read means female, but it fans out the tail sometimes to make the classic turkey shape which makes me question that.

    Having Frostbite issues. Ventilation?

    Hey everyone. I'm in Northern Canada and after a -40(f/c same) cold snap, I've found my 2 roosters and 1 hen with a bigger comb has some pretty bad frostbite. From doing some reading I don't have proper ventilation. The coops are 8x12' and have a 7 foot high ceiling which I believe is...

    One dead one sick. Coccidiosis?

    We recently had a chicken die on us. It is one of our buff Orphington chickens. We recently got 13 barred rock chickens. We were informed today that one of the goldens died. When we got home we noticed another one was very sick. We are thinking it might be coccidiosis. Anyone have any...

    Hello pullets and cockerels

    Hey everyone! Just wanted to post a hello since I just signed up. Already got lots of new information and just wanted to be able to make posts of my own. I somewhat recently moved from a small house on almost no land in southern Canada and from the money was able to buy 160 acres up in northern...
