Yesterday was day 21 for my Silkie and Polish eggs. Most of all that made it to lockdown hatched. Today is day 22 and I candled the remaining eggs that showed no progress, movement or pipping. Two had no movement and look like they did not make it. The other one that didn't hatch looks to be...

Please note these are NOT from our beautiful stock of Toulouse. ***FIRST 2 PICKS ARE THE GOSLINGS IN QUESTION, LAST PICK IS FROM MY FLOCK*** Someone on a local Facebook farm group said they had Toulouse goslings for sale and we are always looking to expand our flock with new bloodlines, so of...

Haven't been on BYC in a while but needed some opinions. I'm thinking this is a cockerel/roo due to the streamers on the head, but would like to hear what y'all think. He(or she) is around 5 months old.

Sadly we have decided to rehome our lovely emu pair due to the fact that they have become very territorial towards our chickens (trying to kill any new ones or chicks) and we cannot afford to lose any profit we make breeding chickens. The emus are very social and sweet towards people and bigger...

I have a friend that lives near us (we will call him "Bob") that is a really sweet old man, he knows a lot about chickens and has taught us things we didn't know as well as helping us get started in breeding chickens when we moved up here. Although "Bob" is good with chickens, he isn't on BYC...

There are a lot of different methods of incubating eggs. When I decide to incubate, I personally have chosen to stick to the recommended temperature and humidity recommended online as well as what it instructs for my specific incubator. Currently, I have a Nuture Right 360 that I have hatched...

Hello, I am needing some help/advice. I have raised chicks for a few years now. I hatch out my own and also buy from hatcheries (Specifically Meyer's and Strombergs were my most recent). I know with a lot of chicks brings coccidiosis sometimes. I have been using the preventative dosage of the...

Hello, I am picking up my emu chicks next week and would like to know whether or not to give vitamins to them to prevent things like wry neck. I've seen on an emu group it is a pretty common thing and I want to be prepared. I have heard people treat wry neck with poly vi sol and selenium and...
