    Knock kneed

    Does anybody have experience with birds ending up knock kneed? We have 4 month old leige fighters. My kids brought them to the fair last week. The last day I noticed one of the splash pullets was standing funny. I thought maybe she was stiff from being in the exhibitor cage. Got her home and...

    Next Step in Project?

    Ok so I've been working on a small scale project for several generations and am stuck on the next step to take. I have a pullet that is perfect minus size and she has extra toes from adding silkie a couple of generations back. I'm hoping to work on both of these things this next generation...

    EE Chicks

    I picked up a few EE chicks from the local store hoping to add some blue to our eggs. I was wondering if anybody else had chicks this color and what they ended up looking like when they feathered in.

    Grey eggs

    Hello all! We're getting beautiful grey eggs from a couple of our girls. I'm wondering if it's a hereditary trait and if hatching out those grey eggs may give us more grey layers? I cant find anything in relation to this in my searches. I know the basic egg color Gene's but this one has me stumped.

    Pigeons in Aviaries - cold weather

    We're picking up some homers next month and am in the process of figuring out how I want to set them up. I plan on making an aviary for them to share with our coturnix quail. This seems all fine and dandy for spring through fall. I take a few of the youngest quail in late fall and put them up in...

    Guess this breed?

    Meet our weird little Heidi. We grabbed her with several other bantams for a penny last year out of the mixed bantam bin. We thought she was an OEGB when she was little as that's what most of them were. But then she kept getting longer and taller. She"s now in between bantam size and small large...

    "Golden Comets"

    I've been pondering getting some colored layers for this year. Going back and forth between breeds, if I really want to add more on top of the rarer breeds I've added. Then I hear it....the magical egg song. I havent seen an egg in months. Of course I run out to praise my girls. Out comes one...

    Separate flock housing

    Good evening all! I'm planning for the spring and one of the big projects is new chicken housing. We currently have our chickens all together (except our indoor seramas). However I plan on splitting birds into breeding groups come early spring and we have plans on investing in some additional...

    Do I have to rest turkey to be ground?

    I just had to dispatch an older BB turkey hen that had become mean to all of the other birds and has been limping around (she was almost 4yo...pretty good life for a BB). Where she's older and I already have 2 whole turkeys and lots of shredded and Turkey soup in the freezer I decided I'm just...

    Our Seramas

    I decided to share some of our new seramas. My kids are hoping to start showing these guys and we'll be creating breeding groups in spring. Here's some of our boys checking out the new coop. I need to get better pictures once they settle in.r

    No back feathers

    Has anybody had a chicken/roo that just doesn't grow the hard feathers? We have a Splash laced red Wyandotte and he has a few feathers on his back, but most of it is just the down feathers. He's been like this since I got him and I thought maybe he was molting and would grow his big boy feathers...

    Icelandic and Hedemora Colors

    Hey all! We have some Icelandics that are about 3 months old and have a few hatchlings. They're from a few different breeders. We also purchased a small group of young Hedemoras. I was wondering if these breeds follow the typical color genetics where they're bred with such color diversity? I'm...

    New Babies (juveniles)

    I splurged a little over the last couple of weeks and got 2 breeds that I've been really wanting (and a box of 60 potluck rare breed eggs). I introduce you to our 4 new Hedemora :) They're from 3 different flocks from across the country so nice diversity genetically. And our 2 Icelandics...

    Free Ranging Breeding Groups

    So I have a question for those of you who breed different breeds and free-range. How are you set up? We've gotten a few different breeds we're planning on breeding next year and our main mixed flock. I am building a new shed style coop that will be separated inside into breeding, grow out, and...

    Registering to Sell Eggs, etc

    I'm looking to see how others have registered their chicken/poultry/family farm business. Our long term goals were selling eggs, hatching eggs, and chicks/started birds as far as our poultry goes. Possibly excess meat from various livestock. I know the laws of selling everything for my area now...

    4H Fair

    My kids are bringing some of our pullets and our Icelandic cockerel to the county 4H fair over labor day. We have the following 4 options for classes to enter the birds in: Meat, Production, Barnyard Bantam, and Exotic. I'm not really 100% on which classes to use for the chickens. I assume...

    Wyandotte X Project and Lacing

    Does anybody have pictures of the ideal lacing? Are all of the wing feathers supposed to be laced as well? I have my first batch of chicks for a project my kids and I are working on. We haven't cared too much about pattern of the offspring more looking for function. But all of our babies are...
