Hello
This is my first time ever having turkeys and I am so lost with sexing mine.
I started with 3 turkeys but lost one as a poult so now I just have one bourbon red and one blue slate. They are currently about 8 months old.
The bourbon red is much more friendly so I have more photos of ‘him’...
Hi
I bought a goose 8 days ago. About 4 days ago I noticed this on her foot. There is a smaller one on her other foot, too. Is this bumblefoot? And if so how long do you think it took to develop this bad? Thank you
Hi!
I have 13 Silkies & 2 polishes in a horse stall (converted to coop) in the barn. The polish are in a smaller pen in the coop for now. I did not isolate quick enough when I noticed 1 or 2 hens sneezing almost 3 weeks ago. I ordered Tylan soluble (add it into water) and received it and now...
Hi!
I just bought an old used sportsman cabinet incubator the other day. I believe it is the 1202.
It has held temperature perfectly, but the racks have not been rotating. The seller told me they had been rotating before I picked the incubator up. I am fine with getting parts, just I don’t know...
Hi
I have a silkie chick who just hatched a day or two ago. Today, when I took the chicks out of the incubator, I noticed that one of the chicks has wry neck. It wasnt super bad at first, just a bit crooked looking off to the side, but it’s already progress so much that the chick can barely...
Hi there!
I just hatched 16 of my silkies egg. 14 hatched, and out of the 14 about 9 have pink skin (toes, beak, and skin)! All of my adult silkies have black skin. I also have polish chickens, which they *couldve* bred with, but I’ve never ever seen my Polish even breed with eachother yet, and...
Hi
My 6 1/2 month old Polish rooster is not doing good at all.
This morning, I noticed green poop from my Polish trio. I had never seen this from them before. I panicked and googled what it could be. I ended up closely inspecting my chickens and noticed mites on them. I had never ever noticed...
Hello there!
I have a 2 or 3 day old pekin duckling who has white goopy discharge coming out of its vent. I saw another post similar to this, where the ducklings had worms, but my ducklings goop is much thicker than a worm. The duckling seems less active than the others, and tries to poop but...
Hello there!!
I hope this is in the right spot.
I hatched out this adorable ducklings 4 days ago out of my ducks eggs. I’m wondering what colour it will be!
The mom is a blue Indian runner, and the dad is either a Rouen or a pekin (all purebred).
What colour will this little guy be when it...
Hello there!
I am on day 28 of incubating my ducks eggs. I have 7 eggs hatching in the next couple of days, due to a staggered hatch, but I had 2 eggs due today. Of the two, one hatched very very early this morning. The other one did not have a pip, and was not moving or peeping in response...
Hello! My 3 month old female Pekin keeps doing this head bob thing. It’s been going on for a little bit, but seems to be getting more frequent and more aggressive. She functions normally more than half of the time, but I’m concerned. Does anybody know what’s wrong?
Couldn’t attach video directly...
Hello!
I have a single 3 month old goose that I raised with my ducks since day olds. They’ve always gotten along fine. Today I let them all out to go to the pond and I heard some commotion. The goose was latching onto the backs of one of my ducks and then mounted her like he was trying to mate...
Hello!
This is my first time hatching eggs.
A friend lent me an old hovabator(circulated air), and I bought 2 dozen silkie eggs.
Out of the 24, 4 were infertile.
I saw movement in the 20 eggs when I candled them before lockdown. They were all well developed.
1/20 of the eggs hatched Saturday...
Hello! I bought two chicks just about 2 weeks ago. They seem to have awfully red combs for young chicks. They were sold to me as ameraucanas but I’m very much doubting that now. I’m guessing they’re about 3-4 weeks old. any guesses on the breed and possibly gender?
