I have several golden duckwing pheonix birds and was hoping to breed them. Then I was told the golden duckwings won’t breed true and that in order to breed this color you have to cross a silver and a bb red. I was wondering what would be the outcome of a golden duckwing x golden duckwing...
Several days ago I noticed one of my roosters wasn’t as lively as usual and was just slightly more hunched than he should have been. His crop was empty but he wasn’t abnormally thin just not as bulky as usual. He was sitting with his eyes close way more than he should have been and they were...
I got a buttercup pullet earlier this year. In my eyes she’s a really nice bird and has been doing well at shows this summer. If at all possible I want to breed her and have some chicks for next year. She has a really nice comb and fits to the standard in most ways. I’ve been struggling to find...
This is my Ameraucana cockerel. Yesterday it looked like he was trying to get something out of his throat. He had his mouth open and was shaking his head. The gnats are starting to get bad in our area so I summed it up to be related. I sprayed him with vanilla water to help. This morning I went...
I’ve never had a buttercup before but a hatchery accidentally threw her in with my order. I think that her feather pattern is coming along really nicely. Her hackle feathers and tail base are still growing in. I’m hoping to exhibit her at several shows this summer. Does anyone know if she is a...
I bought a couple mystery birds from valley hatchery earlier this year. I think this is a black breasted red jungle fowl which the hatchery does offer. I’m need to enter birds into the computer so I can show them in July and I wanted to make sure that the breed is accurate. Is there anybody who...
This is my 4 day old cream legbar pullet. When cleaning off her pasty butt yellowish liquid began oozing out. It hardened and is shown in the picture. She is otherwise acting normal. What happened and what can I do to help?
I’ve been trying to find a polish breeder in the Midwest. I can’t find any breeder lists for polish. I don’t have any major preferences for colors, but I want the birds to be bred to the sop. I’m mainly looking for chicks but any polish would ok. Thanks in advance!
I have a ten month old cream legbar. She showed well at every competition I brought her to, but now she’s growing in all these white feathers. At first it was just a few white feathers, but now it’s gotten to the point that all of her feathers pretty much have white on them and her under coat is...
I’m trying to find some show quality Americauna breeding stock near northwest iowa. I would like to get these birds by November if at all possible.
I really appreciate any responses.
My silkie was fine yesterday. This morning she was laying on her side and didn’t have hardly any strength. We took her inside and gave her vitamin water. She is twisting her head around weird and is struggling with balance. She’s been inside now for a few hours and she can stand up on her own...
This is my 10 day old silkie chick. I hatched it out from a white rooster and either a buff or blue hen. As far as I can tell my other chicks are splash, blue, and black. However I just can figure out what color this one is. I originally thought she was splash but her wings are consistently...
Today I noticed my 3 month old dark Brahma pullet has something wrong with her beak. It hasn’t always been like this. I don’t know if she’s able to eat. how can I fix it or is there no solution?!?!
I found the hole dug under the chain link fence surrounding the coop. Luckily no birds are missing. Any ideas on what made it and how to fill it so something can’t get back in?
