Hi,
I bought these chickens about a week ago. I've been trying to do some research on them and found out that they are wyondotes. But are they blue or lavender ????
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I hatched both call duck and ancona eggs and they hatched at the same time - about 4 months ago. The call duck drakes have already displayed their drake tail feathers. Not the anconas. I hatched 10 ancona ducklings but none of them have drake tail feathers. I really doubt that I have 10...
Can I put a few pheasants with my peafowl trio. The pen is 12X32. The pheasants are about two months old. Will the peafowl kill the pheasants ??
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I'm looking for call duck breeders in north Tx, southern OK or eastern NM. I've searched the internet and can't find any. I want to see the call ducks before I buy them. Any assistance would be appreciated.
thanks,

Hi,
Way back when dirt was still new, I had two pair of calls. One pair of white and one gray. I had ordered them as adults and paid about $100/pair. They were very, very nice and were correct to breed. One night, a possum took out three of calls. So I was frustrated and didn't order any...
Hi,
This is my first time with pheasants. I bought about 60 young (under a week old) assorted chicks. I can ID the ringnecks, the blacks and the goldens, but one has baffeled me. Since I'm tech challenged, no pics. The chick has a bronze/reddish head and back with white dots on each side of...
Hi,
I have a trio of IBs in a small pen right now. I've built them a larger pen, 12X32, but since one of the peahens is sitting on six eggs, I decided to keep them where they are. The peahen has been sitting since June 1st and is due about June 28th. The peacock and another peahen are in the...
I built 3 new, larger pens for my peafowl. I moved 2 trios over that didn't have any hens sitting. I left the last trio because one hen is sitting on six eggs. Do I move the male and the other female and just leave the sitting hen in the old pen ?? Or just leave all three in the pen and...
Hi,
I have a bunch of feathered critters - chickens (both standard and bantam), ducks, turkeys, ringneck dove, pheasants and peafowl in about 17 pens. I have BADs - big aspiring dogs, anatolyn, great pyranese, border collies and aussies - they guard the place from 2 and 4 legged predators...
Hi,
I have an unused slab of concrete that is 12X32. It used to be a hog building until the tornado took the building but left the concrete slab. The slab even has a drainage slot. Can I use this slab to raise ducks ????
Thanks for your replies,

I have a black swedish hen that set and hatched 5 ducklings. She sat or stepped on three of them and I took the other two away from her and raised them by hand. Now she is missing again. I free range the sweds 24/7. I noticed that she has been missing a number of mornings and then comes back...
Hi,
Yesterday, one of my giant cochins hatched five ancona ducklings. Today, she had them out in the pen and they seemed to be following her. I put down a shallow dish of laying crumbles and a shallow dish of water. So far, I've seen them peck at the laying crumbles but I don't know if...
Hi,
Tomorrow is lockdown day for some ancona eggs I have both under a broody hen and in my incubator. I split the eggs just to see which method hatched the most. My question is do I leave the eggs under the broody hen (giant cochin) and let her hatch them out or do I move her eggs into the...
Hi,
I have a chance to purchase some brown turkey poults and I was doing research and was reading that browns don't produce many fertilized eggs. The article stated that their eggs were fertilized for the first week of the season only and the rest of the eggs were not fertile. Hard to...
Hi,
I was offered some imperator chicks and they are so much more than spalding chicks. What's the difference between them and why the difference in price??
Thanks for your replies.

Hi,
I recently purchased some duck eggs. The seller said that they were muscovys, rouens and mallards. I asked her that I really wanted muscovy eggs. The eggs I received are large and white/cream color. I also got two green eggs. I have some rouens in the bator right now and the eggs I got...
