    ISO Cream Legbar Pullets

    I essentially lost my only cream legbar pullet and I'm hoping to get another or a couple. I would prefer anything over 3 weeks old, as my birds are all 9-12 weeks. I'm in central PA and would prefer to pick up if possible.

    ISO Cream Legbar Pullet

    I essentially lost my only cream legbar pullet and I'm hoping to find another. Doesn't have to be laying age. My other birds are 9-12 weeks old. Central Pennsylvania is my location and I'd prefer to pick up if possible.

    Chick not growing feathers??

    This chick will be four weeks old on Monday, and yet it has nearly no feathers at all. I'm not sure on breed, as I ordered Welsummers, a Brown Leghorn, and a Speckled Sussex, so it could be any of those. I know they say roosters sometimes feather slower than hens, but this is "supposed to be"...

    Coop for mostly free-range chickens?

    I'm new to chickens specifically. I've only had ducks and guineas, but decided to pick up six buff orpington pullets to raise with my guinea keets. They're still in the brooder, but I'm trying to plan for moving them outside. My chickens and guineas will be free range during the day and shut in...

    Can this chick be saved?

    It's actually a guinea keet, but I don't think that makes much difference. I waited too long to assist this little guy in hatching, and I think that's what caused this problem. I don't think this is spraddle leg. It seems more serious than that. The toes are very curled and resistant to...

    Is this spraddle leg?

    I've had guinea eggs thinking, contemplating, and considering the idea of hatching since Friday. Two of them started Friday evening and only now have actually hatched. Some of the others are on the fast track. Anyway, this one seems to be having signs of spraddle leg. I'm not sure why it...

    Hatching too soon! Guinea help!

    I'm all in a panic. It's nearly midnight and I went out to turn the eggs for what should have been the last time before lockdown. I turned them all over only to find one egg has pipped and zipped! It has fair amount of exposed membrane and a tiny slit through the membrane. I see a small amount...

    Serious bullying problem

    I have five guineas. I started out with one male who just randomly appeared on our doorstep one day and refused to leave, so I got five 12 week old keets and set up a pen and now here we are. I'm a guinea owner. We lost only one since summer, so we're down to five. Three of the guineas are pearl...

    Hawk Stalking Guineas

    I went out this morning and saw a hawk on the ground peeking around the guinea pen. Their pen is a large chain link dog run with a top on it. Oddly enough, the guineas were silent while this was going on. The hawk then perched in a nearby tree, but flew off before I could get a good look at it...

    Dog run as coop?

    Okay, I recently kind of adopted a stray male guinea who first appeared on our trail cameras, then found his way to our house, and promptly fell in love with his reflection in our vehicles. He hasn't left since. I've never had guineas or even chickens really. I was always a duck person, but I...

    A Lost Guinea?

    Hello everyone! Recently my father and I noticed a guinea on our trail cameras, and he was showing up pretty much every day for about a week. Well this past Monday I went outside to see him in our driveway and he's been there ever since. He really likes to hang out by the vehicles. I'm fairly...

    Question about lockdown

    Okay, I have three active eggs. Two with noticeable cracks/chips in the shell, and the third which has none, but that one seems to be the one that moves around the most. I don't want to open the bator to see if the beaks are through the air sacs, but I think that third one is peeping, which it...

    Hatching!

    I went down to add water to the incubator tonight, and I was greeted by a wiggling egg! I only have six in there. Three Cayugas and three Cayuga/Khaki crosses. Today is day 25 so the first day of no turning the eggs, humidity increase and temp decrease. Not sure if you guys remember me much...

    Cayuga X Khaki Campbell babies?

    Has anyone here ever had experience with this combination? I've heard that the results are different depending on how they are crossed. If the drake is Cayuga, the ducklings are always black, but if the drake is Khaki Campbell, they can be mixed or be traditional Khaki colors. I have a pure...

    Why are there so many different humidity suggestions?

    I've hatched quail and turkey eggs before, but never ducks. Humidity was never something we needed to keep track of. Now that I'm trying to hatch duck eggs, I can't seem to find a consistent source for what the temperature and humidity should be. Right now my humidity is at 75% and my...

    Temperature and fertile duck eggs?

    Just the other day I found that my Khaki Campbell(I think) started laying again, but before I could collect them my dad accidentally stepped on all four. Then we had to catch the two East Indies that were being sold, and that stressed all the ducks out, so she quit laying for a couple of days...

    Pond size and natural filtering

    I have five ducks currently, and I think I'm going to re-home two of them due to my drake constantly bullying them. So if I'm down to two ducks, how big of a natural pond would they need? I know bigger is better, but since I moved in with my dad they've been in the pond out back that we've had...

    Kahki Campbell, Cayuga, and East Indie ducks - Laying questions

    I have six ducks. The oldest is my pure Cayuga drake, who will be two soon. The rest are all the same age and will be turning a year this spring. I bought two Cayuga female ducklings, but due to predator problems at the old house, I lost one and the other ended up with a broken leg. My Equine...

    Anyone out there with Cayugas?

    I have two Cayugas currently. A year-old drake, and a month-old hen. They are currently separated due to my drake's aggression and my hen's leg injury. Due to unfortunate and recent events, in a matter of two days I lost one young hen and my adult hen. Weirdly enough the two events were...

    I'm a duck person with one very lonely drake :(

    I used to have four Cayuga ducks. An adult hen and drake, and two month-old females of no relation. Well one of our goats was jumping down from a hay bale and landed on the one little female's leg, so now she's injured. Then early Saturday morning I realized, too late might I add, that my mother...
