Hello BYC Family!
I recently noticed some of my girls have mites. Specifically, the ones that are broody. I’m currently in Puerto Rico. I’ve been to a few farm stores and for the most part they recommend Sevin dust which I read is a no go. I’ve talked to a bunch of my neighbors which are all...
Hello BYC Family!
My goose has started laying for about three or four weeks now. She already has about 18 eggs. I removed a few eggs a couple days ago. Anyhow, my goose doesn't seem interested in going broody. She simply keeps laying and laying eggs. Is there anything I could do to encourage...
Hello BYC family!
My girls have access to clean water… but NOOOO they always drink from the dirty water like is Coca-Cola or something. Addictive I guess! Haha.
Btw poor girls are starting to molt and she is looking rough. Hope you all had a wonderful day. 🫶🏽✨
Hello everyone!
It’s been a year since joining this amazing family. In my introduction post back then I mentioned recently moving to Puerto Rico and let me tell you… It really has been an adventure! Since then, I have more chickens, ducks, geese and guineas that I care to admit. Haha. However...
Hello BYC family! About a year ago I brought home a rescue chicken with 8 chicks. This rooster, was one of those chicks. Also, the black hen besides him is his sister. However, I have no idea what breed they are. Would any of you happened to know what breed is this guy!? He is an extremely sweet...
Hey BYC Family!
Well, today my geese for sure wanted to speak to the manager because I was making way more racket than they were with the trimmer and it was simply unacceptable for them. Haha. Hope everyone had a great day. ✨✨
Attached a couple photos of them and my beautiful drake.
Hello BYC family!
My young Muscovy hen decided to start laying around five months of age (I was surprised). She went broody with about 17 eggs, which I removed a few because she was not able to lay on all of them. Later on, I had to remove about 6 more because there was no development. The...
Hello BYC fam!
I have this Old English Game chick that got an eye injury. He is a few months old and they are at the point where they start fighting one another and somehow he got injured. I separated him from his siblings and is currently on isolation. Everyone else is healthy and thriving...
Hello everyone!
Meet my “tiny” monsters! We have had a heck of a ride together, but I’m learning to understand my silly teenagers. It’s been raining here a lot so they have spent their days in the mud and digging holes everywhere. Haha.
Ohhhh and let’s not forget HONKING LOUDLY ALL DAY… 😂😂
Hello Everyone!
Its been a while (more than 8 years) since I’ve had chickens and about a month ago I bought for only $15 bucks (basically rescued) three Bantams or how they are called locally “Kikirikis”. The elderly guy who sold them to me said he was moving back to the Mainland and well I...
Hello Everyone!
This is my first time raising geese and it has been amazing until recently. My 5 geese are 4 months old. About a month ago, one of the White Chinese charged at my niece. I really did not thought much about it and ignored him. However, lately he has gotten pretty aggressive...
Hello everyone!
I got these two chicks earlier today from the feed store to keep company to an Old English Game chick that I rescued, but they were unable to tell me which breed they are. They just said they were layers. Help will be much appreciated! Thanks BYC family! 😊✨
Hello!
Just wanted to share with you all my beautiful Muscovies and an interesting fact about them.
I recently learned, thanks to you all, that Muscovy ducks are supposed to roost. However, I’ve owned a bunch of them and they have never been inclined to roost or nest in trees. On the...
Hello!
Probably this has been asked before, but here we go! My goslings everytime I reach into their brooder start running like crazy. Funny things is, when I speak to them they "speak" to me back as if they recognize me. Once I take them out of the brooder to go out on our little excursions...
Hello Everyone! New member here.
I've had chickens since I was two years old when my grandfather gifted me my first pair. Since then, he made sure I loved poultry as much as he did. I've been on hiatus from the chicken game due to school and life in general, but now I'm back to the flock...
Hello Everyone!
This is my first time raising goslings. I’m currently located in Puerto Rico and since I don’t have to worry about the cold weather from MA I decided to embark myself on this adventure. I have done everything I’ve seen online on how to care for my new babies. I got them two...
