Hello! I purchased these 2 birds labeled “Brahma” but I’m not completely sure about them… they both have different comb types (I’ll attach photos) they do have feathered feet. Do yall have any ideas?
Hello!
I have 23 chicken hens that are laying, and I’ve been getting between 5-10 eggs a day. I know the weather has changed and some of my older hens (18 months old) are molting, but egg production has dramatically decreased. I also have 4 laying duck hens who haven’t laid a single egg for...
Sooo this girl was labeled as a black sex link but I feel like she doesnt rlly look like one… I’ve asked this before but now she’s older so I want opinions again 😂
So I posted this same chick weeks ago when it was 4 weeks old and y’all said it looks like a boy… what are we thinking now? It’s 7 weeks old.
Really hoping it’s a girl 🥹😃😅🤞
I have a 1 year, 2 month old Welsummer hen and she hasn’t laid for 2-ish weeks. She laid 3-4 times a week when she was still laying. She seems completely normal, so I don’t know what could be wrong. She hasn’t ever gone broody or anything. Any ideas?
2 of my guineas have been limping and I noticed one has 1 swollen toe (see pic) and the other has a swollen foot. (see pic) is this a concern and if so, what should I do? They are both hens.
2 pics of swollen toe (it’s one toe, I just took two pics)
I found this extremely deformed egg in my nesting box. It has a really thick shell. Don’t see any yolk, just whites leaking out. Causes? Should I be concerned? Is there a term for this? Also, the yellow on it is pine shavings. Thanks!
I have a broody hen and so I’m going to try to hatch out some eggs. Any tips??
Also, my rooster is an Americana/New Hampshire Red. If I hatch an egg from my Prairie Bluebell Egger and it’s a pullet, will she lay blue eggs as well?
Thanks in advance!
My crested Duck has been laying in the yard for a bit. She can't put much weight on her right foot. She limps with her wings all the way out. I don't see anything wrong with her foot as far as a cut/blood. She would sort of clench it when I picked her up (not sure if that’s normal)
A few...
This is a 7.5 week rainbow chick from Rural King. 1st pic from a couple days ago. 2nd pic is close up of face. 3rd pic is the suspect on the left next to its sister who is same age and breed. What sex are y’all thinking for this bird?
Blood in my Duck eggs? Almost every egg has a bit of blood in it from one of my magpies. Is this normal? What causes it?
Also… I thought magpie ducks were supposed to lay blue eggs? I've only been getting off-white eggs from them, as well as my crested.
Does anybody have an idea of what breed this chick is? It’s around 7 weeks old. I purchased it at Rural King and it was identified as “Rainbow.”
Thanks! 🐔
