    Our little showgirl has a mysterious bump at the base of its throat that recedes if you poke it and it's soft. Any ideas?

    Wanted: Modern Game Bantam Eggs

    I am looking for Modern Game Bantam eggs. I have a brown red pair and cannot find anyone in my area--or a hatchery--that has them. I would like to breed toward show quality but I am also looking for just healthy, pure stock. At this time of year I know it's easier to ship eggs than chicks due to...

    Handled With Care Farm and Rabbitry's First Hatch-A-Long!

    I'm posting this as sort of an announcement and I'll put up pictures once they're all set and I get the pictures uploaded. I'm going to set several eggs in my incubator. It's a refurbed GQ Sportsman from the 70s or 80s (I think). It has a new thermostat and heating system in it. I'm going to be...

    Mysterious Strawberry Comb Roo--Help?

    My friend has a rooster that she needs identified. He's for sure purebred as he was one of those mystery hatchery Roos. The strawberry comb is not something I'm familiar with so I'm having trouble with this ID. Any ideas?? Thanks!

    Springtime Guinea Questions

    Hi everybody! I have guineas and would like to know a few things as I get ready for my first Speing with adult birds. When should I expect first eggs? I live in Southeast Missouri and it was a warm winter up to last week when it got below freezing. Should I make a special nesting area for my...

    Babies Are Heeeere! **Pics Added!**

    The magpie Lionhead doe that I purchased was bred like we thought. She started pulling fur this morning so we put in a nest box and a few hours later she kindled. She had five live fat little kits! No dead and all squeaky clean and snuggled down in the straw. I couldn't be more proud! I believe...

    From Starter to Layer?

    My guineas share a coop and run with my Australorps. Their yard is built onto a barn and so they have constant access to outside--and the property is crawling with grasshoppers. Anyway my Aussies are going to start laying anytime and I want to know if it's safe to feed them all Layer feed. The...

    A Rabbit Cage Question

    Ok I am building some "stacking" cages for my rabbits. We are moving them to two unused stalls in the barn that are 11'x11' to get them out of the weather. I want the cages to be longer(left to right) and can be tall (top to bottom) but I don't want them so "deep" (front to back) that we can't...

    Breeding Silkies

    My silkies are still fairly young, and I have blues, splashes, whites, buffs and one partridge. My blues and splashes are hatchery silkies. I want to know, do you have to breed two silkies of one color to consider their chicks that color? For instance, if a white silkie has a buff and splash...

    Advice Please! A Rooster/Coop Issue!

    I have a waiting list for my Australorp eggs. They want fertile eggs for hatching, and some people are wanting chicks. (A result of my young Aussies winning blue ribbon over several adults at the fair) I have 4 roosters and 10 pulleys together with 10 silkies and 13 guineas. All are young but...

    The Fair

    I attended my first fair as an animal exhibitor this week and I can't believe the results! I took eight birds--they had to be shown in pairs of male and female--and six rabbits. My rabbits did very well, all blue and red ribbons, but the biggest shocker was the birds! My two-month-old...

    Graduation Day!

    Hurray! My babies are babies no longer! Yesterday afternoon my 14 Austrolorps, 10 Silkies and 13 Guineas--all fully feathered--FINALLY left their baby room and were placed in their brand new outdoor coop and run! We used all welded wire to keep out predators and the indoor part is a section of...

    Dwarf Hotots--Yes or No?

    I've wanted Dwarf Hotots since we started the rabbitry and I've found a breeder with them. She says they are show quality full pedigreed and have several grand champions in their lines. She has a proven buck and doe--the doe is pregnant. She wants $100 for the pair and claims babies sell out...

    Are My Turkeys Sick?

    I have three turkey poults that are between six and eight weeks old. They are active and seem healthy except for one thing. Their poop is loose about 90% of the time. I've seen a few formed poops but that's it. The loose poop is tan--not yellow--and sometimes has white in it. I haven't seen...

    Fertile Tom??

    Someone told me that I'll have to wait two years for my Tom to become fertile! My Narragansett poults are 7 weeks old so obviously I have a long wait. I'm just hoping I don't have to wait two years for hatching eggs! Does anyone have the answer? Is it really two years?!? CYG
