    Bantam Red Cochin chicken

    I was looking at purchasing some Bantam Red Cochin chicks. In the description it mentions that they should not be in the sun as their feathers will fade. Does anyone have any experience with this breed?

    Is it safe to let chickens eat cooked unfertilized eggs that have been partially incubated?

    Hello, I candled about four dozen eggs last night that have been in the incubator for about a week. Quite a few appeared not to be fertilized. (I newly laying hens and an old rooster that my not be as effective as he once was.) There were about two dozen that did not appear to be fertilized...

    Deformed leg and toes on Salmon Faverolles female chick

    I incubated several SF eggs in May this year. Seven hatched, five male and two female. One toes of one of the females were turned in towards each other, but she seemed to be doing fine, eating and drinking well, so I did not attempt to straighten the toes, which I doubt could have been done...

    Goose has been sick for awhile

    My three year old male goose Eric has not been well for awhile. I thought it was just his personality, wanting to speed a good part of the day by himself, but still interacting with the other geese. I noticed that he started looking quite thin a few months ago and that his poops were not a rich...

    None of the 22 eggs I placed in my Nurture Right 360 incubator hatched!

    I have been incubating both chicken and goose eggs for about 3 years with this incubator. At least half of the 22 chicken eggs usually hatch if not more. Sainme with the goose eggs, about half of the eggs (either 6 or 8) hatch. I have never had none of the eggs hatch. I did notice that...

    Rooster developing black and also white patches on comb, hen with raised white spots

    Several months ago I noticed one hen with raised white spots that look like calcium deposits. They do not rub off, at least not with minimal pressure. They do not seem to be growing or spreading; they do they do not seem to bother her or change her behavior. Her comb has always been a light...

    Geese laying eggs in each others nests

    Well, I did a brief serch and it does appear that geese lay eggs in other nests but their own. Can anyone confirm this has happened? My oldest goose started laying eggs; one broke early on which seems to be common with her. This is her third year and she has not hatched any eggs the last two...

    Female eating as though she never had anything to eat before

    One of my females, who had successfully hatched three goslings last year in April, is lately acting famished. She runs to me before all the others and begs to be the first, second, third, fourth, etc. to be given treats. She will follow me to my garage where I keep theirs and the chickens...

    Matacha powder as feed supplement?

    I realize that there are articles on Green Tea, but specifically, has anyone used Matcha powder to feed as a supplement for the chicken feed? I purchased a bag at Costco, it has no added sugar, so I do not think it would be bad for them. I guess I am a hard core coffee drinker (with milk) so...

    1.) Has anyone used Permetherin liquid for depluming mites? A member kindly mentioned that she thought my rooster may have depluming mites. I have been pricing pour on Ivermectin when I realized I had an unopened bottle on liquid permetherin. 2.) Most of what I have gleaned is that depluming...

    rooster loosing feathers

    I have a two year old Salmon Faverolles rooster that is my husbands favorite bird. "Tank" has lost most of his neck feathers and has lost many of his tail feathers. We have been paying close attention to him for the last month or so. I had a bug infestation that I think I may have under...

    Goose sitting on eggs for over four weeks.

    Tilly, an Embden goose, has been sitting on her eggs for about 5 weeks. I took them all out when she was off the nest and candled them briefly. There is a air pocket on the large end of the each egg, and a cohesive dark area above which takes up about 2/3 of the egg shell. That seemed a big...

    permethrin

    I imagine this has been asked before, but... My husband noticed that our Salmon Faverolles rooster was scratching his neck vigorously this morning. He never really developed a full mane of neck feathers but he did look like he had less that usually. I picked him up to inspect him (my SF...

    Incubator for hatching goose eggs.

    I have a Nurture Right 360 incubator that I use for my chicken eggs. This is my third attempt in two years to hatch goose eggs. The first attempt only one hatched out of 6; I did not assist it. The second attempt I had four beautiful little chicks. I do think that I had to assist one or more...
