    Sleepiest chicks ever!

    Never in my years of brooding chicks have I met a pair as exhausted as these two RI Reds. I got them from atwoods (where everyone in their container was happily sleeping), now I have them home and I feel like I never see their eyes! I know they're eating and drinking well, and they're completely...

    Muscovy or magpie?

    This is Lunky, my 3-day-old baby. I got him with a pair of (maybe) rouens and a fawn&white runner. Is it possible to tell the difference already?

    Rouen or Mallard?

    Just got these kiddos from Atwoods and was feeling curious. Not expecting a definitive answer, but excited for the guessing game.

    How to get rid of Biting Midges?

    My eldest rooster has been getting his comb devoured by the local carnivorous midge population. I've treated the coop with diatomaceous earth, especially the dust bath area, but they free range during the day. Should I do any other treatment? Will anything keep them away from him while he's out...

    Power outage concerns

    I gave my boyfriend's mother a few eggs and let her borrow my incubator on thursday (they started incubating that night). Today (Saturday), while they were out of the house, the power was out for ~6 hours - is this detrimental? Should they toss the eggs out?

    Should I clip the nail of my Salmon Faverolle's fifth toe?

    I have three (twelve-week-old) chicks that all seem to have overgrown nails on their silly thumbs - is this normal? Should I trim them? Will they keep growing and get out of control?

    ISO Chinese geese/goslings/eggs

    I have one solo White Chinese gosling (6wks) and it needs a buddy ASAP. I'd be willing to take any age, any gender, anything. I'm in Cali, Arizona, NM, Texas, and Arkansas for spring break.

    ISO any quiet pullets - central AR!!

    Does anyone know of any quiet breeds available in central to northwest arkansas? We'll take anything from eggs to full-grown girls, but are unable to take a rooster.

    Am I mean for not socializing with my meat ducklings?

    I regularly bring 14/18 of my current babies to sit around with me and cuddle on a towel, but choose not to bring my Jumbo Pekins. This is mostly for my own sake, as their breed doesn't live very long before prime killing time and I don't want to get attached. They're still hanging around with...

    Two buffs and one saxony?

    I got these three ducklings while looking for buffs. One in particular has a lighter bill and less defined stripes - is that a big thing? Do I have two saxonys and one buff or vice versa? A and B have purple bills with pink spots and purpley-grey stripes around the eyes (B slightly lighter bill...

    When will my WC get his honk?

    He's two weeks old and does the normal soft chirpy honks when he's happy, but squeals or peeps when upset. When should I expect to have these chirps turn into honks?

    Chocolate Call or Khaki?

    This little guy is super duper small and was the last of his color at TSC so I wasn't able to compare him to his mates. Is he just runty? Can anyone help with ID? His feet are solid dark brown and he has a soft raspy voice, if that helps.

    Buff or saxony?

    I just got these three (along with some fawn&whites and pekins) from TSC. Can anyone tell the difference? A and B look identical, even if they're impossible for me to guess breed, but C looks different - is she not the same as them??

    Duckling ID

    I just got 4 of these little guys from TSC, all with varying shades of these panda splotches. Does anybody know what they are? Color-wise, they look like fawn and white runners, but I don't think they have the right posture.

    Odd patch in the down?

    First time goose mama - is this normal on my 2 1/2 week old? I've never had this with my ducklings, so I'm a bit worried.

    TSC assorted duckling ID

    I'm almost sure these are little pekins, but they are WAY smaller than the last pekin babies I had. Anyone have any ideas?

    Inflamed vent?

    My week old gosling suddenly has an inflamed vent! Does anyone have any idea why this is or what it means? It's not pasty-butt.

    Beak not developing right!

    Three day old gosling. I thought he just had an underbite but all the black on his beak is just not growing. Does anyone know what's wrong or how I can fix it?

    Beak injury permanent?

    My white chinese has had this spot on his face since I got him at 1 day old. It seems to be healing/getting smaller. Should I be worried? Is it permanent? Is he still show quality?
