So I got some Speckled Sussex from our local feed store, and there were a couple different breeds in with them. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the names of the other breeds, but I got 2 non-Speckled Sussex. :lol: After scouring google, I believe they are partridge Cochins, but can anyone...
Is there a good rabbit website like backyard chickens, but for rabbits? I was able to get 2 gorgeous does, but the lady who dropped them off to the store didn’t tell the breed, and I’m wondering if I have a pair of silver foxes. I would love some help with breed identification!
Bunnies Here...
I’m new to turkey’s and have a question about one of my hen’s body language. She just started doing this 3 days ago anytime I get near her. Is she scared of me? I have a broad breasted bronze who will lay down for me to pet her, but she’s very friendly. This little girl was always more aloof, so...
I have a Bronze Turkey that I’m fairly certain is a Tom… But as he’s my first, I’m not super confident in my assessment. He’s about 3 1/2 - 4 months old, can anyone tell me if he is actually a he?
He’s seriously the coolest Turkey ever, and is the reason I’ve now bought 6 more poults. 😅🥰 He...
2 months ago I got my first Turkey poults (2 bronze) and loved them so much I got more. 😅 I now have 4 more that just hatched out on Friday (5/27/22) and noticed they seem to have spots on their feet. Is this the beginning stages of Bumble, or is this normal?
This is my first time (successfully) raising Guinea’s, and I’m unsure what I should do. I had a Guinea get “stuck” like this:
I simply tried to keep my hens away while it got itself out of the situation, not wanting to hurt it further, but now it’s limping and won’t stand at full height. It...
I have a 3 month old Blue Cuckoo Marans pullet whose feet have me wondering if I should be concerned or not… She’s the only one whose feet have this sort of “mottled” look to them. It looks almost like a snake scales when it’s ready to shed, if that makes sense?
I’ve had chickens before, but...
One of my girls just laid this egg today, should I be worried? I believe it’s from my blue Marans who is about a year old. Their nest boxes are about hip height, and I found this egg in the boxes, so that gritty stuff isn’t dirt. There haven’t been any changes recently in the coop, so I don’t...
I got home from work today and went to check on my chickens when I noticed 2 small black spots on my hens comb. It’s not on the tips, so I’m not sure if it’s frostbite or not. Can y’all tell if it is? She’s a RIR who just turned a year old last month.
I have had poultry since October, (so I’m still a newbie) and I think I may have my first case of an egg bound pullet.
I was out of country for just over a week, and my neighbor was kind enough to take care of my chickens while I was gone. He reported no incidents. Yesterday I notice one of my...
Today after work I found what looks like a broken and dried egg stuck on the wood under my roost. (I have a pallet for a roost) Should I be worried? The shell seems much thinner than normal, as well. I have attached pictures as well. (One of each side)
I have 3 laying hens, and 5 that are just...
Is there a "chicken safe" method of getting rid of, eliminating, or discouraging mosquitoes? I have absolutely no standing water in my yard other than my puppies water bowl, and my chick waterers. All of which get cleaned out frequently. However, there are lakes not too far from me, and I...
I have a few BR cockerels, born on Valentines Day, near Waco, TX. I ordered a few pullets from a hatchery, and they added several males. Unfortunately I simply don’t have the setup for extra males atm.
I’ve been keeping my eye on her beak for a little while now, and I’m starting to get worried. She acts like it’s painful for me to touch. Any advice? What is it? She’s my only bearded EE.
I got this little guy in the assorted bantam bin... anyone know what breed he is? He’s a pretty little thing! I got him just before Easter and he was just already feathering. Is it still too soon to know what breed? He was very “chipmunk-y” when I got him, but he was too cute and feisty to...
I have a few BR cockerels available. I already have a good roo, and don't have room for them, unfortunately. They were born on Valentines Day, so they are almost 10 weeks old. I bought pullets from Ideal Poultry, and got several males "for warmth" lol. They are sweet and adventurous, I simply am...
It’s been a bad day in my household. :hit I bought a couple 2 month pullets yesterday, and placed them inside the coop in a crate. I thought that would be okay. I either underestimated their desire to get out, or the others desire to get at them. Idk. I came home to the crate overturned and all...
This is BAC. I got her in the RIR Black sex link bin, but with this feather pattern, I’m thinking it wasn’t RIR she was mixed with. Anybody know what would’ve made the hearts on the tips? I love them!
I recently hatched a few chicks, and figured now would be the best time to add to them, as they are all the same size. Our local feed store had some adorable bantams, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me the breed of this cutie? I looked on MPC, and think it’s a light Brahma, but I don’t...
I was at a local feed store today and almost bought these chicks because they were just TOO adorable!:love Unfortunately someone beat me to it. :hit
But I was wondering if ya'll could help me find out what breed they are, so maybe I can get some from a local(ish) hatchery? They were in the...
