8 weeks old. Unsure what color she is,I know she must have a dilution gene but I’ve never seen it express like this in a cat. What would this be called?
I am starting up a new project based off of a chick I hatched this spring named noodles. This thread will serve as a log and as feedback as to an interesting trait that will make it into the final chicken. For now I will focus on the feather pattern and on year 2 of the project the special trait...
I have 2 turkey poults, a black and a bronze. The bronze poult or bp is limping. I get a closer look and their right leg’s joint is swollen. He gets around OK, kind of has to waddle and if he needs to go faster he has to rely on his wing for support. What should I do?
Ok so, I had 6 cats inside, 4 kittens and 2 adults. Well I come home today and it’s just a mess. Cat 1, Waverlee, ram out on the back porch and attacked our dogs. She has never once even hissed at them. Cat 2, Ivy, hissed and swatted at Waverlee and wouldn’t come out from underneath the couch...
I’m going to be pretty straight forward- so far I’ve only had one good LGD out of 4. At this point these dogs have driven me to the edge as I from the beginning had a sense of distaste for dogs in general. The only good LGD we had died of complications with a seizure, the next was okish but a...
One of my RIR hens fell into a water trough. It was raining and I went out to check everything and found her. I currently have her swaddled in a towel next to me. She’s twitching rhythmically and her breathing sounds rough every so often. What should I do?
This spring we hatched out chicks from our own eggs and out of one of the eggs came a big fluffy white chick who turned out to be a cockerel. Well today I decided to pick him up and noticed there were vague stripes on his feathers. Is it dirt? Does he have very lightly barred feathers? Why and...
We got a group of sheep today and received a ewe with giant horns on par with a ram at a little less than a year(painted dessert) at first we thought she was a he who had been castrated, nope . No scrotum, no penis, pee’s squatting, the only characteristic she shares with a ram is the horns. We...
About three years ago my ex-step-father built us our egg boxes. Well three years later and I need to clean them out. Well they’re built into the wall of the coop and have a lip so spraying them out isn’t an option. Is there any ways to salvage the nesting boxes or do I need to just take them out...
Ok so I had posted a thread not long ago on a chick I had received which I had thought was a pullet. Well, a lot of the replies said there was a good chance that she was in fact a he. S(he), is an Easter egger making this a whole new level of hard to tell since feathers have no standards. I got...
I bought some Easter egger pullets from a different location than usual, out of the bunch one sticks out. All the others are partridge but this one only has a couple feathers I would consider partridge. By all accounts I think this pullet is beautiful but what do you think?
I have a red colored bantam with feathered feet, single comb, yellow skin, hard feathering, and as far as I can tell is a rooster. I’ll try and get pictures later today but does this description match and breeds?
I have no clue what color this kitten is, would the color just be called gray or is there a fancy term for it like with chickens where he’d be called a lavender? I’ll send pics of the mother, father (?), and kitten.I’m not sure how easy it is to tell in the pictures but they both have a...
I have a young billy (less than a year old ) that I believe is a Spanish goat cross . However, so far no one has been able to tell me the official term for what color he is. Anyone know what this color is called?
So I’m a little curious as to what genes could result is a chicken that lays blue or green speckled eggs. Aka what plus what equals what? Idk is this a stupid question for me to ask?
I have 8 wk old chicks I hatched and am having some confusion ok so the fist confusing this I’m encountering is the comb of the first chick. The eggs came from our bantam coop consisting of a silver laced sebright and polish along with a blue silkie and white silkie roo. None of their combs look...
