    Why are Call ducks hard to hatch?

    I think the title asks the question well enough 😂, so what is it about call ducks that makes them hard to hatch? I am really wanting to hatch out a few eggs this season for the first time. Im really hoping for them to imprint which is part of the reason I want to hatch them myself. Also, does...

    Pheasant eggs?

    Hi there! I am looking for a good place to buy ringneck pheasant eggs. Does anybody know of any good sources? I've seen Stromberg's has some but at a relatively high price. So far I've landed on Harding Gamebird Farm. They seem to have great prices and look reputable. This will be my first time...

    Frostbite? Spreading fast...

    Hi there! Checking in on my chickens a few nights ago I noticed one of my hens seemed to have frostbite. I've never seen frostbite before but was pretty sure this is what it was. I thought it seemed a bit strange since my wyandotte and her little comb got it and not my Maran rooster with his big...

    Suddenly blind chicken. Please help!

    So this morning when I went out to give my chickens feed and let them out of the coop I realized one of my chickens was having some issues. The ducks were jabbing at her and she was just running in a circle. I picked her up (which is usually harder to do), checked her eyes and both looked...

    My JUMBO Italian Celadon Project

    Hello! After a fair amount of research I decided I wanted to start a project and develop a Jumbo Italian Celadon Coturnix. I know, like I said in the title (🤣), this is no short project. Maybe Im going a bit far for my first time really trying to breed something other than just - keep jumbo size...

    Stopped growing! Tiny little 7 week old chick

    So, I have just a slight problem. Hopefully not a big one. I hatched out 9 chicks on April 12, all are doing great besides one. This chick just stopped growing or feathering at all like 5 weeks ago. Her body is mostly feathered but she stopped right before her head feathered so she still needs...

    Mastitis stringy milk?

    Hello everyone. I recently got a Jersey cow! She had her first calf mid April. We got her home a few days ago and she was having issues with one teat. The teat HAD a cut on it so we expected she was still a bit nervous with it. We hand milked 3/4 teats and a bit out of the sore one but she was...

    Lice, Ascites - edible?

    Sorry, kind of a harsh thread topic. I just discovered lice in my flock two days ago. I treated the birds with Elector PSP, the coop with Permethrin and DE, nesting boxes with just DE. All seems to be going well with my other hens (tons of nits but I'm hoping they are dead as Elector PSP is...

    Best chicken/fowl antiseptic for wounds?

    Hi! I thought I might post on here to ask y'all what you use for an antiseptic spray/ointment for any wounds or bumble foot on your birds. I just use a basic bactine type spray I bought a while back. But I ran out recently and know its very good to have on hand. I end up using it on any wound I...
