Hey I need help. This little guy hatched this morning with eyes bulging out. Is there any way to fix this or do I need to put it down? We've had a lot of temp fluctuations in our incubator this hatch due to the heat waves, but the rest have been coming out just fine.
Hey guys I need help, I have 2 1 year old toms that I want to take to auction. They have to be in something that will go with the buyer so can't use dog kennels. Any ideas what I can use? I've seen laundry baskets used for chickens so was thinking possibly using 2 or 3 stacked on top of...
When is it that you call something wrong with the flock? I get eggs weekly from a farmer to hatch ducklings and so far out of almost 100 I've gotten 2 deformities. One could be explained due to crested being in his flock, brain outside of skull with deformed beak. The other I just found today...
I'm excited to see what comes out. These came from the cackle hatchery. First brown egg to hatch and I am stumped on breed. No feathered feet that I can see.
I got a person's flock for free. They got these as chicks from the cackle hatchery. I have all tan egg layers except 2 and I know it's not them. The brown one throws me off due to the feathered legs
I got this little boy in the pan fry assortment at the store. He was so pretty I couldn't just leave him there. Any clue what he is? Ignore the random screen door on the ground lol
I'm curious what one might look like as an adult. I have a baby that came out of a blue egg and has the face of an slw. Wanting to see if anyone has an example of what it might look like as an adult. It's the one circled. Hatched yesterday
I am currently on watch for something big. Something has taken out a male goose and 2 turkey hens in 2 separate attacks. No feathers no sign of fight except with the goose, being a female got injuries to neck and head. She is surviving.
The hen had been up 4 1/2 feet up when snatched.
Any...
Just shot this fox a second time. First time he moved just in time so I got his back legs. That was 3 weeks ago. I have never seen a fox with this much mange. He had been killing my chickens and ducks left and right. Is there anything I need to put around where he had been living to keep my pets...
How can you tell sexes on mixed geese. I got 4 adults and the people didn't know what sexes they were. I'll take better pics in the morning. They are currently in my laundry room so excuse the dirty clothes pile.
One of them is part Sebastopol
duck is stuck about 15' out in the pond. Hes got fishing line around his leg and I think a limb. Any ideas to help him out? I do not have a boat or canoe or raft
these 2 I got with 7 other hens today. They are in desperate need of tlc just as warning.
The big grey is a rooster with feathered legs
And the white and tan is a hen. I do know her feet look horrible, most have bumblefoot and possibly lice.
My silkie girls are with a couple of meran boys. Since the eggs will be smaller should I only expect small chickens the first round or might I get a mixture of sizes despite egg size? This is my breeding project to make bigger silkies since I cannot get full size silkies anywhere.
I found one of my silkies deciding it was time to be broody again. I feel like this is not the right time for this. >.> would it be okay to let her hatch these out, or give her some day old chicks?
She will not keep that nest there for sure.
okay. So I have an ee/barred rock x barred rock. Barred rock is the rooster.
Will the head spot gendering work for it since both parents have the barred rock gene?
