Ok so I bought a quad of Sebbies a couple days ago. When I picked them up it was late, and dark, but seller thought she saw a couple of drops of blood in the yard they were in. Sure said they looked like fresh drops. Thought maybe someone had caught a toe on something, so she sent some bleed...
I recently purchased a pair of sebbie goslings. One came with wry neck and I lost it. Seller is going to give me a discount on an adult to make up for it.
Problem is I need to know what sex my gosling is so I get the right sex adult.
Any help appreciated. :)
really really need some help. Purchased two Sebastopol goslings from an online auction from a seller I know. They were fine at time of auction. When I went to pick them up seller said one had developed a head tilt, thought it was a vitamin deficiency, started her on Poly-vi-sol the night before...

Hey guys! Could really use your expert advice right now. One of my Swedish hens has a bad bill injury. I have no idea how or when it happened. She's one of my shy group of rescues so she won't often come up to me, unless I have treats, and even then, she stays back a bit. About a week ago...
I'm hoping someone here can help with a Gosling concern?
So over the last week we've been closely monitoring a clutch of African goslings that one of our ducks is on. Momma goose is on her own nest she only recently started.

Anyone good at Silkie chick colors? Got a mixed color group of silkies/frizzles and some have unique colors. One of the darker two (kinda grey/brown one) has some barring going on, but none of the parents were partridge unless they were hiding it. Parent colors (porcelain, silver/light blue...
I am searching for some nice quality porcelain/blue cream Silkie Pullets. Would also be interested in Lavender. Would love to hear what's available, when and prices. I am located in Bates City, MO. Close to KC. Would be interested in local or shipped birds. Flexible on price depending on...
Hello! I'm fairly new to chickens. I have raised waterfowl for many years but a couple years ago started breeding Bbs Silkies.
I have one black hen, 1 black roo and one dark blue hen.
So we had a new hatch yesterday and the chick is soooo much lighter than any chick we've had before. Our...
I havent been here in so long and its nice to see some friendly faces still. I guess I should start by saying the duck math got me, and now I have 24 adult ducks, 2 African Geese, 1 silkie roo, and 14 ducklings.
I have some color questions! 1. I recently added a silver WH drake ti go with my...
Thought I would post a few of the birds. Been a while since I shared. Everyone always asks what colors my runners are. And for most of them, I have to answer...I don't know. lol They change colors with every molt, and don't seem to fit any one color or another. Both of the Runner drakes heads...
The babies have all gone through their final molt, and I have to say I'm surprised. Two of the babies I thought were the products of my Pekin and Black Swedish, have gotten some odd color/patterns to their feathers. Sparrow has some weird pattern on her wing feathers I have never seen before...
I have a duckling that is now almost 8 weeks old, and is on 16% protein food, and he now suddenly appears to have angel wing?? Never had any of my babies get angel wing, and I heard it was mainly something to worry about when they're very young. Why so late, and can it be the food??? It's not...
My gosh, seems like just the other day they were just eggs, now they're 4 week old ducklings, and enormous! Izzy has done a good job with the littles. And their color pattern is so interesting. Two of the ducklings also have the weirdest bill markings. Hmmm. Thought I would share a few pics of...
Everyone came out into the yard together for a play date, and the little babies had their first swim. Everyone's pools got dumped and filled, and everyone was having fun. Except the Pekins. Bella got grounded to his pen for biting the babies, and Georgie is still on her nest.
Thought I would...
They almost all have their teenage feathers in already. And what interesting colors they're turning out to be! Thought I would share a few "growing up" pics.

This time it's Decoy in front, then Lucky and Freckles.
After her bad luck with the first clutch of eggs, we did not expect the eggs she stole from our other duck to hatch. Surprise! We went out this morning, and we've got babies! She's got one out on the top of the nest with her, but the other one or two out so far she's still covering, so it's hard...
Well, just when I thought the ducks were the best behaved pets I owned, they went and picked up a really bad habit!! There's a ball field that borders my property, and is separated by a steep hill and trees. The community uses it for kids ball games. Well the ducks have decided this is their new...
One of our ducklings, Skillet, is under the weather. I picked him up yesterday, and he threw up. I didn't worry too much, because I know if you startle a duckling, or accidentally put too much pressure on their crop, they can throw up. Well today, he is sneezing a bit, and shaking his head. He...
