Hello, I'm an old time user who hasn't been on this site in a long long time. There used to be a page where you could search and filter chicken breeds based on all sorts of characteristics, like size, crown type, good egg layer vs. good meat bird, those types of things. There was also a page...

i accidentally allowed one of my ducks to nest a few eggs too late in the season(i didn't know she had them until they were already developing). only 2 of them are hatching because the others are unfertilized. one of the developing ones pipped earlier today, and i have been checking on it...

i'd like to start incubating my own eggs just to see how it goes, so I was looking online for an incubator and found many different types ranging from 20$ to 200$. I only want to try a few, maybe six, eggs. but I couldn't choose an incubator that really fit what I needed. i'd like one with an...

one of my ducks has been sitting on an egg. I came in to check on it and it was knocked out of the nest and up against the fence. there was a small crack/indentation on the egg were it had hit the fence. I think the mom may have kicked it out when getting some water. I candeled the egg and the...

we have been hit by the heat wave and all of my birds are starting to molt. i only have one turkey. he's molting too but his chest has gone completely bald. i don't think thats normal but i don't have anyone else to compare him to. is there a special type of food that i should get my birds while...

i have 2 roosters rite now but i dont have enough hens. my hens began getting bald so i separated them from the roosters. i haven't had any problems with my roos. the only thing is that one of my roosters likes to peck at feet which is only a problem if your in sandels. just lately though, he...

i have 2 roos rite now. i am planning on getting more chicks and since i am getting bantams some of them will be straight run. i am confident in my ability to raise tame roos consindering how well my first ones turned out but i doubt that i will be able to avoid fights completely if i introduce...

i want to start hatching some of my eggs. i finally think i saved up enough money for an incubator and an egg turner but how do i keep the humidity at the rite level? i herd somthing about putting a glass of water in there if its too low but what if its too high?or is there an automatic device...

i am building a new coop for all my birds. i currently only have one turkey(male) but i don't want him to be lonely in the new coop. i plan on getting him a few girls but i don't know how many girls i need for one turkey. i don't want any bare back turkeys. he's not aggressive at all so a...

one of my hens is really sick. she went missing for three days and i thought she had been eaten or something. she did come back, but she's sick. she's sneezing a lot, having a hard time breathing, being lethargic, and has yellowish green diarea. does this sound like anthing in particular? can it...

i was wondering if you guys could post some pictures of any animals that you have other than chickens. you know cows, dogs, cats, lizards, sheep, or other types of poltry.

i have decided to try for a hatch. the only real reason i am is beacuse i happened to see my hen lay the egg so i already knew it was warm enough. i have a simple incubator set up but i just wanted to know about how long itt takes for an egg to hatch.

i am building a new coop and i don't have a place for my turkey. i know i can't put him with my chickens but what would happen if i put him with my ducks? do i have to worry about deseases or about breeding season mis-haps? btw, the turkey is a male.

i have 2 roosters and not enough hens. if i put the roosters in a separate pen together, will they fight? does the hen factor keep them from fighting or make them want to fight?
