Hi everyone,
I have an African gosling almost 9 weeks old.
In the past two days she has developed a weird, squishy bump on the top of her head. (I only felt it to determine it’s texture, after that it hasn’t been squished)
She also has developed angel wing on one side.
I have her in with...
Hey everybody,
I’m getting ready to redo my breeding pens this year and started wondering how other breeders have their pens set up.
So all you breeders out there, show some pics of how you set up your breeding pens for each breed. Plus, pictures of your best breeders too of course!
Hi everybody
I’m searching for a Wheaten Ameraucana cock/cockerel and hen/pullet.
I’d prefer a splash wheaten male and a regular wheaten female but that’s not a dealbreaker. I’m also willing to pay for shipping if needed.
I’m located in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Thank you
Hi there,
I’ve tried finding info online but to no luck. I was wondering if anybody knew the genetics behind the German pastel quail. I have 2-3 of them and wanted to know what genes on what make them this color.
Is it similar to lavender in chickens where it’s recessive but needs to be over...
Hey everybody. My friend has been trying to get a large fowl Cochin for awhile. She had a very sweet blue girl who sadly passed away due to unknown circumstances. She of course was heartbroken. So she bought a straight run partridge Cochin. Who is now about 6 weeks and I’m pretty positive is a...
Hey guys, I’m not quite sure exactly which forum is the best to post this, so I’ll try here.
Right now I have four breeding pens set up for my birds with 10x10 dog pens and a coop in each one. However, I have some growouts that I’m going to need to move soon and want to change my breeding pens...
Hey everybody,
so I breed Ameraucanas in 7 color varieties, and they are by far my favorite breed. I just love their little faces!
I’ve been wanting to work on an Ameraucana color project for awhile now but wasn’t sure what I wanted to go for. Then I saw some Jubilee Orpingtons and Speckled...
Hey everyone, I saw this project silkie on Facebook. They mentioned that it’s a project color they’re working on and I thought she was soooo pretty. What project could this be for? Do other breeds have it? How can I get some? Thank you!
It looks like a partridge but it isn’t. I thought maybe...
Hey everybody,
The storm has taken two of my FBCM pullets already, which leaves me with just one at 12 weeks old.
So if anybody happens to have any, I’d love to pick up 2 or 3 more after the storm passes.
I’m located in west palm beach Florida.
I have a young two week old chick who is gasping constantly with the occasional sneeze. I think the sneezing might be due to the oil I gave her thinking that maybe something was stuck in her throat. I'm not sure what else to do for her.
It won't let me post the video.
Hey everyone,
I have a couple birds inside and outside that have yellow nasal discharge that crusts up and are acting pretty lethargic. Some of them have warts, so I was thinking it could be fowl pox.
One of the birds is very lethargic and much thinner than the others, but she’s my moms...
Hey everyone,
I have an older silkie cockerel who is very randy. He often tries to breed my 11 week old and 19 week old silkie chicks. Of course, most of the time they run away from him like he’s a pervert, which he is, and cry for my protection.
My main question is, will he only try to mount...
Hey everyone,
I have three bearded buff laced polish young that are about 10 weeks old. I wanted some help deciding on their genders, as it’s been awhile since I owned any polish.
Two of them have bigger beards than the third, who has bigger wattles. I’m wondering if this means I have two...
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for a variety of D’uccle hatching eggs. Hopefully from one breeder if possible, but totally understand if they’d have to come form multiple.
I’d just like to have a bunch of colors, like Mille fleur, Gold Neck, Blue, Blue mottled, white, grey, or some of the rarer...
Hi there,
I’m searching for Blue, Black, and Splash Ameraucanas for sale. Preferably more Blue and Splash than Black as I already have some.
I want older chicks if possible, or even older birds if you have some, though I’d be willing to take young chicks if need be.
I’m located in Lake...
Hello everyone,
So about a month ago I ordered two batches of eggs off ebay, some Black Copper Marans and some B/B/S Ameraucana eggs. Once the eggs hatched I ended up with 8 Ameraucanas and 8 Marans.
Well recently, my Ameraucana Chicks have been getting sick and dying. I tried giving them...
Hey everyone,
Normally I don't really have an issue sexing my Silkies at this age, as they start to show signs even younger for me. However, I recently got these two from a breeder and wasn't sure of their genders at the time. Now they are around 14-16 weeks old, as I don't remember exactly...
Hello all,
I am located in West Palm Beach Florida and I have a handful of birds for sale.
I have white and splash silkies available as well as a Barnvelder and a pair of Leghorn Easter Eggers.
The silkies are about 9 weeks old, the others are about 3-4 months old and close to the point of...
Hey everyone,
I have a friend who hatched out some chicks for another mutual friend. They were Mille Fleur D’uccles. At first, my friend was supposed to keep some of the chicks, well since our mutuals rooster died she wants to know if she can have all four back because it’s all she has left of...
Hey everybody,
So my friend is wondering if anybody can explain how to tell if a chicken has coryza vs a regular respiratory infection? She doesn’t want to have to cull her 6 week old D’uccle if she doesn’t have to.
The reason we’re asking is because he was sneezing a bit the first day, but...
