Saved this girl from a farmer who keeps most of his chickens in terrible conditions, there was one with 1 eye, most of them are injured and have feathers missing. This 1 in particular her whole back is stripped of feathers, tail is ruined beak is somewhat broken and she is very skiddish, a...
I got this hen yesturday and I donr know what breed it is, I did see another chicken with the same colorings it was a rooster with poofy head feathers, so im not sure if this is the same specoes as the rooster.
This is just me ranting but some buffoon couldn't take care of a baby pekin duck so they released it into the wild, now I dont know when the duck was released but it seemed like it was about 3-4 weeks old and hung around the Canadian geese in the area, note: the area did have many lakes and...
Hello I have 2 four week old pekin ducks and 1 of them does have a niacin deficiency, duck food wint be coming until Saturday I ran out a few days ago so I've been feeding then rice and watermelon for the time being, now I'm feeding them blended canned corn to restore some of the niacin. The 1...
Is it safe to feed ducks shredded chicken and beef, im out of food and duck food wont come in until Saturday, plus theres a niacin deficiency in 1 of the ducks so I want to treat it as soon as possible, but dont have the proper food yet.
I've never raised ducks, only chickens so ive never really payed attention to duck legs, but for 2 week old pekins are the legs supposed to be this thick?
Im not sure if this is a blood ring, i cant rlly see any other veins,hopefully there are other veins but the egg is too dark to see them, it wasnt like this yesturday, today is day 8 . Out of 6 eggs, this is the only egg that actually progressed to begin with. I tried to upload a vid but the...
I just recieved 6 shipped chicken eggs and let them set for 1 hr, was that not enough time.....? Is it too late to take them out of the incubator and let them set for more time?
How do I calm down a rooster, I just got him yesturday, he doesnt attack no pecking, no charging, everytime somone tries to get close to him he tries to fly/run away and makes these loud squaking noises. Hes a big rooster too, id say almost 2 ft tall, with full colorful feathers and a good beard.
First question, whats the breed of this rooster?
Second question, how do I get this crackhead rooster to like me, right after I got it, I let it roam around in the garage, then I let it outside for 20 min, it didnt wanna go back inside, this thing put up the biggest tantrum and had the deepest...
So the quail unfortunately died, it was supposed to hatch this week but decided it didnt want to deal with the harsh outside world. It was far from being ready to hatch, I noticed a smell coming from my incubator as well as no movement,noise, progress when I candled it, here u can see the organs...
Its day 17 and 1 out of 12 eggs survived as far as ive checked before I put the egg in lockdown on day 14, Theres no pips zips or anything going on, the egg is just being an egg, I really have the urge to just candle the egg, will it be okay if I candled for a few seconds or should I just leave...
Im turning a shoe rack into a quail house and im not sure if these gaps are too big, theyre 2-2 1/2 iinches spaced apart, im just holding them with tape atm incase I want to adjust them. Although I dont want to use chicken wire mesh I will if these gaps are too big, as well as to keep rats out...
Today is day 10, as far as I can see, only 1 egg has veins as well as a moving fetus inside, all the other eggs are basically see through with maybe a small dark spot in them, no signs of veins or anything moving, should I remove them? Its sad that only 1 egg has progressed this much, but at the...
I took the eggs out to rotate, so since i did that I also took the chance to candle, only did it for a few seconds put them back immediately. One egg im not sure if I accidentally hard boiled it or theres a chick inside because it wasnt this dark yesturday it seems to be progressing, cant really...
Finally, I see a good sign from one of my quail eggs, it was really hard to see since the shell is a dark color, but I did manage to find some blood vessels 😭🙏
