    What kind of duckling?

    Is my goose egg alright?

    This is my first time incubating goose eggs and I’ve already lost a couple. Does this egg look okay? I see veins, but no wiggly baby. I’ve only ever incubated chicken eggs where you can see everything. This is day 11.

    Good or bad eggs?

    First time doing the float test. 3 on the left are touching the bottom, but standing up. Toss or keep? 🍳 Thank you!

    Are my chicks okay?!

    It’s day 20 and my babies have started to peep. Well the incubator got bumped and the eggs rolled around. Will they be okay? 😰 Picture I took of a peep before it was bumped.

    Duck foot problem!

    Elvis started limping today and I noticed this. It’s basically a massive callus. I researched bumblefoot and it doesn’t appear to be that, then again I’ve never seen bumblefoot in person. Any ideas? So far I’ve soaked his feet in epsom salt and applied bag balm. I’ve including a picture of Elvis...

    SICK PULLET!

    I opened the coop to let the girls out and my 15 week old Orpington wobbled out very slowly. Her back side is covered in light yellow diarrhea. It resembles pasty butt in young chicks. Her feathers are all ruffled and she’s just standing by herself with her head down. I know I will more than...

    Kalmbach Feed?

    What’s everyone’s opinion of Kalmbach feed? It’s a heck of a lot cheaper than Purina, but is it good quality?

    Why is she doing this?

    Why is my Buff Brahma hen walking around with her wings spread? I haven’t seen her put them down. I just got her today.

    How close is she?

    Yes, I know it will happen when it happens, but I’m so impatient! Our beautiful barred rock girl is 18 weeks and 2 days. Judging by her comb and wattles, how close do you estimate she is to laying? She’s skittish, so I can’t see if she’ll squat. Our rooster has also become very territorial. I’m...

    What killed my chick?

    This is obviously an impossible question, I’m just looking for opinions. I woke up to one of my 5 day old (5 days since they were delivered) chicks dead. I check on them several times a day and do a “butt check” to clean any manure that is stuck near the vent to minimize the possibility of pasty...

    Is Scratch and Peck feed worth the cost?

    I just placed an order for 10 adorable chicks. This is my first time having chickens and I want to make sure I’m doing everything right. I’ve done tons of research on food and the difference in price is insane. Should I go with a higher cost (higher quality?) food like Scratch and Peck or stick...
