    Duckling's beak is starting to deform

    It's not much but the top beak is growing slower than the bottom beak. I read that this could be a vitamin d deficiency? I am feeding them chick starter, but due to the heater breaking in their outdoor brooder I had to bring them inside. This is only happening to this one duckling and I...

    Norlina, NC: Lavender Orpington and Lavender/Sapphire Gem cross roosters available

    I have 7 roosters, but for now I want to rehome/sell these three first. 1 year old Lavender Orpington roo, named Philip. His girl was killed by an owl the day before Christmas so he has been a little lonely in the flock. He is a sweet boy in need of hens of his own. He is getting picked on by...

    Oh no a single chick! Advice needed~~~

    Out of six eggs only two hatched. I dont know what happened since I try not to open the incubator until they are hatched. One egg looked as though the chick zipped it open when it stretched, but nothing since then. No movement or chirping has been detected from that egg, even when I first...

    Dog attack!

    My Guinea fowl was attacked by a dog!:hit she survived and is alert and walks around with a really bad limp. Her leg sticks out but she still moves it a little. She isnt complaining of pain but I think her pain tolerance is either really high or she may be in shock? It's been a day already. She...

    What breed is this?

    I bought this mystery breed duckling at tractor supply. I know it wasnt a Pekin because it had very light markings. I looked at a duckling chart and it seemed to resemble a very light colored Welsh Harlequin duckling, but ultimately I am unsure. I assume it is a girl, but I cannot rule out it...

    Guinea limping and hoarse voice

    Yesterday I noticed one of my very prominent (loud and outspoken) female guineas was not very loud when she made the "Buh-crahh" call it is very much at the same hushness and hoarseness of my adult drake duck. Now today I noticed that she is limping and lays down mostly. She can scoot away...

    Supplemental feeding while free ranging

    I currently have 31 chickens (1 rooster, 5 hens, 6 cockerels, 19 pullets), 14 guineas, and 8 ducks (1 adult drake, and one confirmed month old drake). I let them free range for at least 8 hours per day as well as give them crumble feed and I am buying somewhere between 6-7 50 lbs bags of feed...

    Help please~

    I have a 24 week old Speckled Sussex pullet, whom I noticed a couple days ago getting really lethargic, and I couldnt find out what could have been causing her to act like that. Last night, I noticed her crop felt like a small squishy balloon. I looked up stuff on the internet and it said that...

    HATCHED 3 DAYS EARLY?!?!

    So I had three duck eggs in my incubator and I had set the temp and humidity at the appropriate readings and confirmed them as well. One egg which I didnt know had hairline cracks ended up dying within two weeks of development. The next two were fine and one of those two the embryo was moving...

    Mystery Egg!

    Okay, so I have chickens, ducks, and guineas. Below are my "coming of age" birds. I read somewhere that guineas can start laying around 13-16 weeks old. I am not sure if that was accurate or not. This egg doesn't look like a chicken egg, so I can only assume it is either a young duck's first...

    Sexing 7 weeks old chicks

    Sooo my chicks always throw me for a loop. They are either late bloomers or quick growers. In March I hatched three chicks and was certain I hatched two cockerels and one pullet, but turns out (after they turned 2.5 or 3 months the black cockerel was actually a black pullet) her comb and wattle...

    Chicken Blinder questions

    I have two young roosters that are starting to get their bearings for mating, but they are a little aggressive in their attempts, chasing every female no matter if its chicken, duck, or guinea. I was thinking of getting them blinders to reduce the number of attacks, at least until they grow out...

    State Fair Poultry Competition

    I am new to the idea of showing chickens, but am curious if I would like to pursue that path with some of my chickens. I wanted to test the waters of this area of poultry ownership by placing some of the birds I have bred in my state fair since the entry fee is 3$. It doesn't seem like a major...

    Egg color pondering~

    Ok so I know that breeding different chickens with different egg colors can result in various colors and shades, such as blue and brown can make green. But I dont think I have heard about pinkish or rosy colored eggs. Maybe its temporary since she just started laying, but my 5.5 month old...

    Guinea behavior

    I dont know if it is because they are still young (11 weeks old) or maybe because they were raised with chickens and ducks since they were day old meets, but I have yet to see the "tight formation flocking" behavior. They kind of just mosey about some with follow another chicken others will go a...

    How to stop the broodiness?

    Okay so it's not a chicken, but a duck, although I suspect two of my chickens are also doing this... To prevent snakes from eating my eggs and baby chicks I put golf balls in the nests, but and now that they are in there for a little while my duck and possibly two chickens started to go broody...
