    Chick pipped on DAY 18! Help?

    Ok, I have an egg that pipped either late day 18 or early day 19 (it was about midnight when I noticed). I know bantams are notoriously early hatchers (although all 3 times I've hatched bantams and LF together they hatched at the same time), and this is an F2 bantam Phoenix x bantam Frizzle. I...

    Which hen and also crooked tail genetics?

    I have a cockerel who hatched on January 5th and has a crooked tail. His father was a production red from the TSC "Pullets" bin (he definitely wasn't a pullet) and I'm not sure about his mother. He has a single comb but at the very back there are two points next to each other, small and pretty...

    I am switching my dogs to raw (Need people with experience)

    So I've been reading a lot about the benefits of raw feeding for a while now. I first read about it when I started looking at what we were feeding our dogs about a year ago, but we were living in Atlanta and eventually decided to switch Dan and Jackie (10 year old Corgi mix and 5 year old...

    Will eggs with blood rings explode?

    I know this is probably a stupid question, but I shall ask it anyway. So, I have 46 eggs in the incubator and a few (didn't count but luckily I don't think too many) look like they have blood rings. There is a thick-ish (a little thicker than the spider-web veins) red line around the egg. Not...

    Ameraucanas from Huckleberry Farm

    I recently ordered a dozen BBS Ameraucana eggs from Huckleberry Farm. They were shipped yesterday so they should be here soon, and I was wondering if anybody here has any experience with them. If anybody has gotten Ameraucanas from them, photos would be appreciated

    Guess the mix!

    I don't know if anyone would be interested in this game, but there are multiple "Guess the breed" threads, but no guess the cross threads (as far as I know)! To make it less complicated, only first generation crosses of APA or ABA recognized breeds with the exception of commonly known breeds...

    I got a Great Pyrenees!

    My mother's co-worker has all kinds of birds (various pheasants, East African Crowned Cranes, wood ducks and Mandarin ducks, chickens, button quail, and a bunch of other awesome stuff) and breeds Chinese Crested dogs. He apparently had a friend out of state who he picked up a Great Pyrenees...

    Are they what I think they are?

    I got 4 chicks a while ago. I was told they were Austrolorps. They obviously weren't, even when they were a week old, but I bought them anyway because I like mixes and they looked like they were going to be pretty. They are now approximately 3 months old, and one looks like a definite pullet...

    Quail chick with curled toes

    I had 35 Coturnix quail eggs in the incubator, but none hatched on day 18 or 19. I had chicken eggs in at the same time, so I decided just to leave them because I didn't want to mess up the chicken eggs. Well, last night on day 20 I noticed one had zipped. I left it expecting to find a quail...

    Injured Rooster

    Today I went out to check on the chickens and my production RIR rooster Tallulah was limping. I picked him up and noticed a smell similar to how my golden sebright rooster smelled when he had a respiratory infection. The flock was recently NPIP certified and Tallulah was one of the birds they...

    Mutt/Hatchery/Non-Standard Chicken Photos!

    I'm sure everybody has mutts, "experiments", hatchery/production-type, or flawed purebred chickens. Sometimes even though a chicken is completely screwy compared to the Standard of Perfection, their "off" markings or features are really awesome looking! I think chicken genetics are very...

    Lots of questions!

    Hi, I am interested in getting some ducks but I don't know a whole lot about them. My questions are: 1. Can they eat chicken feed? I feed my chickens Dumor layer crumbles, would that work for ducks? 2. I have a pond in my backyard and I have been told that if I let them free-range all day...

    Mysterious Chick Deaths

    I bought 4 chicks that were about 1-2 weeks old on October 8th and then on October 10th had 8 chicks hatch, so there is about a 2 week age difference in some of the chicks. Well, the younger ones are over 7 weeks old now and I guess the others would be 8 or 9 weeks. Anyway, yesterday morning...

    Sexing 1 month old mutts

    I have some random mutt chicks that need sexing. I don't need to know the breeds (not yet, anyway), I just want some guesses on genders so I can decide whose going to freezer camp. I have been guessing according to the tail feathers. Roosters feather out slower, yes? Some of mine have almost...

    Saddles for quail?

    I have had a male button quail alone for years because I was unable to find a mate for him. I recently got a female and Bobo promptly scalped her and she has no feathers on her back. It's not too bad; the top of her head has a scab but it seems to be healing and I think some down is growing...

    Loney Button Quail... Could he live with a Coturnix?

    Well, Bobo has lived with my parakeets his whole life. He has just moved into his own cage and I have decided to get a female button or two. But I was wondering if a Coturnix quail could keep him company instead. I won't mind the female button quail laying eggs, I'll probably attempt to...
