    Ugh...new chicks with watery nasal discharge

    I just got these chicks yesterday. They are about 8 week old Modern games. I get them home and settled into their temporary home and notice that one of them sneezed and water-like droplets sprayed everywhere. Wonderful. I've never had any birds that might be contagious before. There's no odor...

    Any grown daughters with horrible mothers?? Warning-Vent.

    I mean, ones that steal from you, lie to you, convince your 12 year old daughters to run away to "teach you a lesson". Even though they're a state away and have no idea if your kid is dead or not! Show up unannounced to your house, with the police, saying there's a threat of violence so they...

    Keet color question?

    One of my brooches just hatched out 2 keets. One is an obvious Pearl the other one has the colors of a pearl, but instead of a chipmunk pattern, it's mottled. Rather than solid lines, it has broken color patterns down it's back. I wasn't able to get a pic, yet, but was wondering if anyone knew...

    Thought I would share a pic of our new puppy!!

    His name is Cowboy and he is a ten week old Akbash mix. He is adorable! He is already very protective of the house and animals. He is already about 30 pounds. I can't wait to see how big he will get!

    Baby turkey stung by scorpion

    It's a young BBW turkey. Probably a few weeks old. Still fluffy except on her wings. I saw her going for the scorpion then she started screaming and running around. Now she's laying down and rubbing her foot. I think it's a bark scorpion. But not 100% sure. Can I give her benadryl? Just a drop...

    Lavender African Gander

    I have a African lavender gander that I need to sell. DH has said sell him or he's going in the freezer! I hate to do that with his coloring and temperment. If anyone is interested, just let me know. I do have a female to go with him if you are interested. No shipping.

    Mystery chick from Ideal Surprise Special

    This is the only chick out of 15 that I can't identify. My son thought she was a Dark Cornish at first, but she's definitely not. I am wondering if she's a muffless/beardless EE. I have 2 other regular EE babies that came in with her, and they do look identical except for the smooth face. Here...

    Lavender African Goose pair - Oklahoma

    I have a mated pair of African geese for sale or trade. The male is Lavender and the female is Blue. They are social and not aggressive, but not as friendly (in your pocket) as Chinese. They are about a year old. I will sell them outright or trade for some chickens for my kids to show. We...

    Just got my Ideal Standard Special...think they sent Sebrights...

    Hey everyone! I sent Ideal a pic of these. I got 14 out of 30 in the Standard Pullet Surprise that look like Silver Sebrights. They haven't gotten back to me yet on what they are. They are half the size of the EEs! Out of 30 chicks, I got: 5 EE 2 Browns (Partridge rock?) 2 chipmunks (dark...

    I just had a freaking FOX in my house!!!

    WT Heck?!? The time had gotten away from me and it got dark (about 7). I open the door from my bedroom to the sunroom and hear something scrabbling out the cat door. I see the cat all poufed out on a chair and run outside in time to see the tail end of a fox disappearing over the chainlink...

    Disaster averted!!!

    Our favorite little bantam frizzle has been missing for almost a week. I've been searching all over the property for her, and haven't found so much as a feather. Today I was over by the chicken barn and heard her calling me. She's not a loud bird, so I started searching everywhere. I happened...

    Lavender Africans...I know I got taken...just how bad is it??

    I bought these birds off of someone with a sad story. When I got there, I had to get them! Now, they were sold to me as Lavender Africans. The one with the orange beak and feet is a lavender color, but I don't think it's an African. It is also supposed to be the male. The other two look...

    Question about Muscovy APA color interpretation for Fair...

    Ok...so the fair accepts Muscovies in White, Chocolate, Black, and Blue...does this include pied and barred? I am new to ducks, so I don't know if those are separate colors or just variations of a color. And, if it does mean solid, if my girl is black with a white streak at each eye, is that...

    Question about my goose molting...

    I noticed the other day that my Brown Chinese had no flight feathers. My first thought was that my neighbors had clipped his wings (there was an incident with them taking some of my birds and clipping their wings and keeping them) but remembered they are terrified of him. Then, in the barn I...

    Why the heck are all my hens going broody at once???

    I expected my silkie and cochins to go broody. It was even cute when the two "twin sister" blue cochins went broody together, hatched together, and raised the babies together. NOW I have a hatchery BR and a hatchery Wyandotte that are broody! AND my hatchery RIR is acting broody! I wish I...

    Ok...need some 4H broiler show advice!

    What exactly are the judges looking for? We have ordered ours through the State Fair office and filled out the paperwork per the requirements. We have a tractor built and are expecting them about August 18-20th. We have until October 1st when the fair starts. Are they looking for the biggest...

    New babies and an emergency question...

    I have been removing the babies from the nest as they hatch. I am planning on leaving a few with the mom to raise, but want to keep the majority in a brooder for safety. So far I've got about 12, not sure on the colors, yet. Most look like pearls, but some have no stripes on the back, or are...

    Strange best friends...pic overload

    So I went and sat down outside like I do every morning, and my BC Maran pullet flies onto my shoulder. Next thing I know, our barn kitten climbs up there, too. So they are both trying to lay across my shoulders! I take the Maran down and put her in my lap. Not good enough! The kitten slides...

    Two Muscovy color questions...

    I am new to Muscovies and these are two of my prettiest older babies. One I am wondering if he is a chocolate? His tail is black, but his breast is kind of a ticked brown, black, and white. He is not camera shy and likes to stand on my feet when I am outside! This one, I thought was...
