Hi guys!
Yesterday I got 2 assorted bantam chicks from the feed store and despite my hours of googling I still don’t have any idea what breeds and colors they’re gonna be.
I have a feeling that at least one of them is a Cochin. Both have 4 toes, feathered legs, and yellow skin.
The dark...
So I️ was given an egg to incubate that was found at a local lake (no nest nearby), and 30 days later this pops out. There aren’t any known domestic ducks in the lake so what could this be?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I️ know feet are curled in pic, I’m hoping they correct on their own but I️...
Hi y’all!
I️ am planning on participating in my first poultry show next month through the NNPFA. I️ want to show my Pekin and Mallard drakes. I️ am a bit confused on how everything is going to work and how to prepare them since they are waterfowl. The lingo is all new to me when reading the...
Hi y’all,
I️ really want to start a hatchery and was hoping I️ could get some advice on how to start. I️ have been trying to find a career to pursue and this is what I️ really want to do. What breeds would be the best to start off with? How would I️ advertise to the poultry community and get my...
Hey y’all!
I️ have a BSL with a rose comb that I️ got from the feed store this year. I️ figure her mom was probably a Dominique. I am planning in showing some birds at the NNPFA Competition in October and am trying to figure out who to show. Her name is Olive and she is one of my most stunning...
Hey Y’all!
I️ picked up 6 hatchery choice ducks from a local feed store yesterday. They said that the feeder hatchery is Ideal Poultry. I️ was hoping to get some help with breeds.
Thank you in advance!
1. White Crested (99% sure)
2. Cayuga/Black Runner? (I️ really hope it’s
3. Khaki...
Hi y’all,
I️ have a pair of California quail that will be moved into an aviary soon. I️ was wondering if they will mate and hatch eggs or if that’s only something they will do in the wild. The male is extremely tame and super friendly. I recently bought my hen from a breed and she is about as...
Hi y’all!
I️ have a broody Silkie that is on day 10 for 7 eggs and day 7 for 2 others. She has not left the nest at all for about 6 days now, but still looks healthy. Her day 10 eggs look like day 13 or 14 when I️ compare them to a candling chart. Is this because she won’t leave the nest, or...
Hi!
I️ just got 6 day old pullets that are all assorted breeds from the hatchery. I️ have no clue what they might be. Any help would be awesome!

Hi y’all!
I️ was sold a female Coturnix Quail and was told was on the rare side, but was never told her color. Her name is Peekaboo. Thanks in advance for everyone’s help!
Hi Y’all!
So my Coturnix quail hen has started laying fertilized eggs. I collect them everyday, so she doesn’t have the opportunity to sit on her eggs. If I️ left them in there, would she go broody and sit on them? I’m new to Coturnix quail so I’m not quite sure if they are good parents.
Thanks!
Hi y’all!
I️ have seen videos of hatching eggs with body heat from both A Chick Called Albert and Fat Hen Farms. I️ am interested in trying this and was wondering if y’all thought it would work. I️ am a bit skeptical for several reasons. How would someone maintain a high enough humidity? Won’t...
Hi y’all!
I️ have 21 hens and 2 roosters (who I️ got this year). I️ have seen both of them trying to mount the chickens, but I️ can’t tell if they are getting the job done or not.
Thanks in Advance!
Here’s a couple more pics:
I️ found this picture from when my mom was younger, the chicken is an unknown age. This is a very beautiful bird, so I️ was wondering what the gender of it may be. Thanks in Advance!
Hi y’all!
I️ recently got 2 Coturnix females to keep my California male company. They are all the same size and get along really well. They are all around the same age as well. Is there any chance that I️ can hatch out eggs in the future? Hypothetically, it should work, but I’m not sure...
Hi y’all!
I️ was wondering if anyone could tell me what breed of domestic waterfowl this is:
I️ had this picture sent to me with the question so I️ was hoping y’all could figure it out. I️ was thinking maybe Goose, but I️ can’t find any breeds of Geese that look like that.
Thanks!
