    little ladies or little gentlemen??

    These two sweethearts are 3 1/2 month old BCM/Lavender Orpington crosses. I’m hoping I have two pullets, but I’m not experienced enough to know for sure. Thoughts?? (Number 1 had a run in with a fence around Christmas and scraped it’s head quite severely. Hence, the missing feathers. But, we’ve...

    Too soon for a crow collar??

    Hi there! I have three little 7 week old d’Uccle gentlemen that I just adore, but also close neighbors that I’d like to remain friends with. Here are my questions...Are crow collars really that effective? How soon can I start using them? Would using them sooner, rather than later, help...

    Cute little d’Uccles

    Silly me thought I had 4 pullets. Then I went on vacation for a week, and suddenly the combs appear! Yikes! - All four are 7 weeks old. 1 & 2 are Porcelain d’Uccles, and 3 & 4 are Mille Fleur d’Uccles. - 1 has to be a cockerel, unless I’m crazy. The other three now have me guessing. Since...

    Intestinal Prolapse??

    Am I looking at an intestinal prolapse? She’s a 4 day old Prairie Bluebell Egger. She’s smaller and less active than her sisters, and I often find her alone on the edges of the brooder. She’ll drink from a spoon when I offer her liquid, but she doesn’t show a lot of interest in eating. I’ve been...

    Cayuga lady or gentleman??

    Please help me sex my 10 week old Cayuga. I’m not familiar enough with the breed to determine for sure. I’ve embedded a video showing it quacking. Hopefully that will help. Thank you!!

    Who to keep??

    Hi there! I’m new to the duck world, and I just hatched 8 Silver Welsh Harlequins. I have 2 males and 6 females, and they are just adorable! I wish I could keep them all, but I only have room for no more than 4. I’ve found good homes for the ducklings I can’t keep, but my dilemma is what...

    New Duck Breeder- Questions??

    I’m just starting to breed Silver Welsh Harlequins, and I have a few ducklings I’m not keeping. They’re from good, reliable stock, and healthy. I just don’t have room to keep them all unfortunately. (Or I would in a heartbeat!) They are 1 & 2 days old, healthy and spunky. ☺️ Here are my...

    Ultimate Chicken Coop??

    Ultimate Chicken Coop from Hampel...worth the $$?? I like the everything plastic idea, for easy cleaning. The multi access points appeal to me too. With the run and stand, it will run a little over $1000. I don’t want to spend that kind of money if it’s not going to live up to its hype...

    Purple the mystery chick and little buddy Pip

    It’s (Larger, light colored chick) ‘Purple’ is our pretty mystery chick. The previous owner was unsure of the gender, breed and age. I’m guessing it’s maybe 4-6 weeks old now and we’ve had it 2 weeks. When we got it, it was still had a large amount of yellow down, but as it’s maturing, it’s...

    Not sure what to do!

    My last little one hatched today, and it’s pretty awful. Poor thing just keeps peeping and wiggling, but I’m pretty sure it has a few organs and maybe intestines outside its body. It also has what looks to be a large bubble under the skin between its neck and wing. I’ve taken a small piece of...

    Little guy in trouble??

    I have a bad feeling about this little guy. It was the first to pip (day 19), but pipped in the middle of the egg. It’s egg was far larger than the others, but has showed normal growth since setting. It appeared healthy with a sufficient air cell when I candled prior to lockdown. It’s remained...

    Hey there...from Northern Utah

    Happy spring everyone! I grew up on a small horse ranch near the shores of the Great Salt Lake. My family raised and raced quarter horses, but we also occasionally raised calves, piglets, and chicks. The piglets were always my favorite! I’ve remained a farm girl at heart, even though I marrried...

    Should I intervene??

    I’m probably overthinking things... but I have a bad feeling about this little guy. It was the first to pip (day 19), but pipped in the middle of the egg. It’s egg was far larger than the others, but has showed normal growth since setting. It appeared healthy with a sufficient air cell when I...
