    Washington State NPIP ?

    Hello, I live in Washington state and I'm having trouble finding the information I want in the NPIP requirements document. I am hoping someone knows the answer or how to easily find it; Do we have to be NPIP certified in Washington state, in order to ship eggs within the state boundary? I...

    Cream Legbar / Welsummer mix ?

    I have a Cream Legbar rooster who I believe is covering my 2 Welsummer hens. Both are auto-sexing, but I'm wondering if that would come through in the cross chicks? I have 4 that hatched, 2 were almost totally yellow, and 2 were dark brown chipmunk. I believe they are what the colors suggest...

    Refusing to provide NPIP number?

    EDIT:: Just wanted to also point out, she was asking for where to send people to find her number. Shouldn't you know where to find your own number if you were already /currently certified? Why would somebody refuse to provide NPIP ID number to potential customers? I just saw a FB post, a...

    Hairy Barnevelder?

    I have 4 Barnevelders. After molting, one of them grew these long hair-like things on both sides-- look like maybe the start of saddle feathers? She has had them for several months, no change. She is a bit over 1 year old. My theory is she had a small illness or injury or sense of...

    Splash Langshan

    Just acquired a splash Langshan pair, so excited to put them together with my blacks. Soon I'll have the whole BBS gang! They strike me as a Chuck and Barbara, I believe they are 3 years old. Barbara is rather shy, but the guy said she will brood as long as there are eggs to sit on. Been...

    ISO:: Crele Penedesenca

    On the hunt for Crele Penedesenca eggs... I'm located in Clark County Washington, if anyone knows of a breeder nearby. Otherwise I'm happy to take the risk on shipped eggs :) I suppose I could get them from Welp, but I prefer to source from breeders. Thanks :)

    Silver Fox weight?

    I have some purebred silver fox, and some champagne mixes born around Easter, which puts them about 4 months old(all male, females were butchered at 10 weeks). I'm wondering what the average weight is for them at this age, I'm having trouble finding that info online- just adult weights and ideal...

    Knee joint popping to side

    Hey everyone. I have a young salmon faverolle cock (less than 3 months old) who I noticed is stumbling/shakey. At first I thought mareks but then I noticed he was the only one. On further observation I saw he was walking on his "heels", with toes up not flattening toes when he walks. I would...

    Dying before hatching

    I bought some quail eggs on ebay. I received 32, and 24 were put into my incubator. I removed 4 more that did not develop on day 9. Day 14, a single egg pipped and died shortly after, so I quickly removed and dissected. What I found was the unabsorbed yolk and its guts in a bag outside the...

    Help sexing my Salmon Faverolle chicks?

    I purchased 8 eggs from 1 rooster and 2 hens. 7 hatched, and 1 I found trampled (COD unknown by me) after work on day 2 or 3. They are now 2-ish weeks old, and I understand wing sexing is possible at this stage. This is my first batch of SF chicks, so I have my suspicions on what's what but I'm...

    Rabbit Breeding????

    I have a silver fox buck who prefers to give the females oral rather than mount them. I don't understand. He will mount a few times then go around the back, root around a bit, and go to town. Hell keep going as long as I let it go on. After 5 or 10 minutes of trying to correct him I give up and...

    Cayuga ducklings

    I hatched 4 eggs late October and I'm pretty sure all 4 are male. What do you guys think? Sorry about the pictures. I took a video but I can't upload it, so these are screenshots.

    Avocado

    Hey girls, ( EDIT for clarity:: I have not ever given ANY avocado to my chickens before -- I have just acquired this bowl of scraps from emptying the fridge and making dinner last night 01/02/21 ) I have 14 chickens and 7 ducks (21 birds) and I am new-ish to homesteading (1-year), and I have...

    Duck egg cost??

    I found out I don't like duck eggs after getting a trio of Cayugas. I know I should have tested before, but I love the ducks so I was going to keep them as pets regardless and just sell the eggs, and give extras to my cats and dog from time to time (boiled). They definitely like them. People in...

    Rooster Attacking Ducks ☹️

    I recently got a trio of Cayuga ducks. The Drake is I believe 4 -6 months old (don't remember) and the two ducks are 1.5 years, or so I was told. I would like to let them graze together, but my rooster is opposed highly to what I want. He will either try to mount them, or just do a flying...

    Portland, OR - ISO Champagne d'Argent????

    Hi there! I know it's probably a long shot, but I'm going for it anyway! I live near Portland, Oregon and I have recently begun my adventure in rabbit breeding. I currently have a pedigreed Silver Fox pair, doe not ready yet ( 😢 ). I'm also very very much interested in Champagne d'Argent, but...

    Adding older rooster to younger flock?

    I am raising chickens for the first time. I bought 6 chicks, and thought one was a rooster based on its behavior and looks, so I bought one more. Well now I'm pretty sure I have 7 hens. They are all about 2 months old, and I am wanting to get a rooster for them. One in particular caught my eye...
