    Got my homing pigeons today!

    I found a local guy who was super duper nice and he sold me 6. Supposed to be 3 pairs. Obviously I would have maybe preferred squeakers. H told me if provided with the right environment they should nest quickly. Once they nest and have eggs will they stay in my loft or still try to return...

    Looking to buy baby pigeons online...

    I’m looking to buy some unpedigreed baby racing pigeons online. I have raised chickens ducks quail and pheasants. Are baby pigeons a lot different to get started? Are they good with a heat lamp and will they eat and drink right away? These are a more considerable investment at $60-$225 (if I...

    Guess the duckling

    Any ideas what these TSC specials may be? I work there. They always come in as assorted straight runs. I brought home two that were in rough rough shape... one passed. The all black one made it! Of course I wasn’t realistically expecting any to make it so I went back and got the survivor a...

    I hatched my first chicks 😁

    Well, my chicks arrived! I gave my rooster away after I collected these eggs. He was an Easter egger. Kinda wish I had kept him now! My hens are Easter egger, barred rock, a golden and a silver laced Wyandotte, an isa brown, and one black chicken which was supposed to be some fancy all black...

    Runner ducklings?

    I brought home 4 assorted ducklings for a friend until they could get set up for them... and now they no longer want them... so I guess they are just going to stay hahaha. I’m pretty sure they appear to be Runner Ducks? They seem to stand up pretty straight. Any idea what they will look...

    Duck sex and color questions

    It’s been a while since I posted but my ducks sure have grown! For those unfamiliar I have my 4 mallards and the one Pekin. I lost track of how old they are now but they are all outside on the pond for a good month and have done fantastic. We just love having them! They actually got friendlier...

    How cold is too cold for no lamp and water?

    I recently moved my ducklings to a baby pool as a brooder to give them more room until I can get outside digs set up but right now time is limited AND it’s just been inconsistent temps yet. I did not set their lamp back up as they no longer seem to even lay under the lamp and always seem to...

    Wyandotte Chick Colors?

    I just picked up 4 wyandotte chicks. 2 silver laced pullets, a gold laced pulled and a mystery chick straight run that looks like some kinda wyandotte? Below shows only one silver laced pullet... (darkest is the gold, to the right is the silver, the chick below them is the mystery.) Any...

    Barred Rock chicks!

    Can anyone help? I’m thinking the first two are in question becuase they seem so much lighter. The group is all darker. All black one is my misfit Asian I took home from work thinking she would die... but she didn’t lol. Could the first two just have more adult feathers? They were bought as...

    Why is my one mallard duckling light brown?

    Many are familiar with my 2 yellow (probably Pekin) Ducklings because the one is (still) battling health issues :( But I also have 4 little mallards. One mallard is like a tan color? Other others look normal really dark brown. They all have the docked toe so I assume they are indeed...

    Duckling shaking, having a tough time walking?

    My duckling is having a tough time. It is shaking uncontrollably and while it gets around it seems uncorridinated and often rolls into its back, yet sometimes it gets a good handle on it and takes a few ok splayed steps. Other than this it’s totally fine and happy! Seems to be eating, drinking...
