    Help me...why are they not pipping? (Eggtopsy pics)

    Please help...I'm having some horrible hatching luck. And the worst part is that my fully formed chicks are dying in lockdown which to me is so much more disappointing than early quitters! I'm using both a Brinsea Octagon and a cheap 56 egg bator from amazon. I noticed more early deaths in...

    Silver laced polish...accidental pullet?

    Runner ducklings sitting a lot?

    Question ...this is my first time brooding waterfowl...I have 4 goslings and 6 ducklings. 2 are runner ducks. I noticed the runners sit down more than the other ducklings. Like I let them run around the bathroom while I cleaned the brooder and the runners will run a ways and then sit...

    ID mystery chick and EE sex

    Hello! I finally figured out which chick is my free exotic mystery chick from Murray Mcmurray. Problem is I'm stumped as to breed. As a chick it was mostly yellow with some gray down on the body but now its feathering out with gray barring? It also looks like it'll be a cockerel. About 4...

    The best day...

    Baby chick day is here! 17 new peeps joined the 10 I got from Tractor Supply last week (cause who can wait when there are bins of chicks?) All 17 arrived ok from Murray Mcmurray...only one Golden Polish is a little weaker than I'd like to see but I did get her eating some grogel and drinking...

    Anyone familiar with Black Bears (poop pic)...

    I found this in my yard just now. I live in a wooded rural community in the Sierra Nevadas so there are definitely bears nearby but our subdivision has quite a few homes and I haven't seen any bear damage (trash overturned or anything like that)...does this look like bear feces? I'd say it was...
