Can guineafowl receive the same treatments (antibiotics, mite & lice treatments, coccidiosis treatment, etc.) as chickens and turkeys? Is there anything I need to know?
I received a few keets as a gift this summer and am also getting a local feral guineafowl pawned off on me, and I definitely...
I hatched out 5 B/B/S Ameraucanas (so exciting!) and they are adorable. I'm just not sure what's going on with their coloration. I have one that is obviously black, and two that are obviously blue, but two others have got me confused. One is much larger than its hatchmates, and a similar blue...
I'm trying to hatch turkey eggs for the first time! My broody turkey hen absconded with her own eggs :lau so I purchased two dozen mixed heritage turkey eggs to try out in my Brinsea Ovation 56EX. I just finished my first start-to-finish chicken hatch in it today and I feel like I've mastered...
After receiving several recommendations for creolin-type products for coop use, I decided to go ahead and purchase some. I've done a ton of reading and found information on various dilutions and uses for it, so I know how much to use in the water when I scrub down the coops, but I'm seeing...
Hi all! I just upgraded to a Brinsea Ovation 56 EX and I'm trying to prep it to transfer eggs from my little POS to this one and I've got a problem! I can't seem to get the humidity up over 33-34%. I set it for 40% and it's been faithfully dripping water into the auto reservoir, and it's full...
I have a smaller HHD incubator and because of its location, I've kept it nestled in the styrofoam clamshell in an effort to keep conditions stable. It's done well holding temperature and humidity up to this point, for the most part (fine-tuning humidity was a hassle but I got it worked out).
I...
I've been doing chickens and turkeys for years, but my oldest kiddo has been begging for a goose of his own next year, and I think it would be good for him. That said, I don't have a ton of experience with geese. I've browsed through the stickied topics (helpful - thanks!) but I'm wondering if...
I just acquired this little beauty, a White Faverolles x Light Brahma cockerel. I didn't have any luck with my last Fav male (either sterile or simply too shy to mate) but I am hopeful that this guy, along with my other new rooster, will make me some really gorgeous babies that are particularly...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I'm definitely not new to chickens! I'm the crazy chicken lady that my friends and neighbors come to for advice.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
We typically maintain a flock of roughly 30 chickens (and we also keep...
Hey, folks! Longtime lurker, experienced chicken-keeper, new member. :)
I recently added a new rooster to my flock and I'm curious about his color genetics and what I might be able to expect from his offspring. I have a large flock with a lot of assorted breeds of hens (some pure, some...
