At what age are chukars fully feathered & flying?

So I recently got rabbits ^^ here they all are :) This is Cali Cali & Rosa Cali Cali Cali, Rosa & Charlie Tuka Tuka Tuka Silver Silver

And how would I breed her to keep true to the color, if possible? I have a partridge roo - Cochin, a BLRW (poor quality), and a OEGB I could breed her to. I love this girl. She's beautiful. I need more. Lol. Boys I can breed her too. I dont care about type much at first, so long as their...

Ok, so we bought some birds (Swiss mondaines) and I noticed their dropping feathers like poo! Normally I'd say moult, but I have a squeaker whose doing it. I don't see any mites. Oh, and pigeon feed is EXPENSIVE, so I wanted to make my own. I figured, if I mixed a bunch of bird seed with peas...

So here I was, on a pigeon place asking Q about Swiss mondaine pigeons, some of which included butcher Qs, when I was informed (luckily politely) that butchering is frowned upon (and taking a look at the rules looks like something I could get banned for :| ) So I came to BYCer pigeon owners...

So I recently entered some birds in the show.... I got Reserve Grand Champion in Open class, just the production variety, but considering it was a Pekin who was absolutely TINY compared to some of the big boys there, Im pretty dang proud of her! Seriously, she looked like a little chick compared...

So for my bday, a friend came over with 3 little goslings. Adorable darlings, but he has no idea what they are. He's going to ask his dad, but for the meantime I'm guessing!! Now, they are TALKERS and the one photographed doesnt have a knob, one does though. It also has a swirl of fuzz, which...

Looking for some spitzhauben breeders... Anyone know of any? Our beloved rooster died, and I'd love to get my sister a trio or pair of breeding spitzhaubens, I just feel like its my fault and she's been so sweet over the years, so I have to make it up. If you have hatching eggs, adults, or...

Ok, so here's the deal. We have this little production red, hasn't layed in days and has been sitting in the nest box. The only thing that kept me from setting eggs under her was that she was very timid and didnt seem to like the eggs Well I set her out of the box, boom, she fell over. She can...

It Kinda got a big red comb early (15 weeks, maybe? ), hangs out with a for sure austrolorp hen, had pointy hackle feathers but nadda single pointed saddle feathers. Completely round. Very odd, eccentric bird. Not very loud, but squawks if you catch it. The tail feathers are a tad rounded, but...

So I'm heading to the fair on Thursday... I was wondering, what do y'all think of my ducks? Any tips on cleaning? The mallard drake has a VERY dirty mouth, should I use a tooth brush and clean his teeth? LOL. I don't expect to do good, they're all hatchery quality, next year I think ill just...

Share your hidden nests that you found! :D turkey, duck, goose. Whatever! 2 winters ago, a hen kept getting out I guess, and that spring we found probably 2-3 dozen blue eggs! Also found a nest today. Found a single turkey egg on this little nest of hay. Left it to collect it later. Went back...

Ok so the puppy escaped 'prison' and managed to eat off my hens butt. Gah. I'm washing her with a betadine water solution, other then that, clueless. I think I may have to change her name from Joey to Rumpy, lol She's preening a bit, but it seems like she's trying to taste her blood... Alert...

Ok, I know their kinda young to guess (a lot young, lol) but ill keep updates Roo? Girl Boy Girl Girl Boy Boy The last 3 are ~3 weeks old. I know it's awfully young, but I like to start guessing soon (:

Was trapping squirrels, happened to use some chicken scratch as bait... This sure is a pretty squirrel...

Ok, so i need y'all's help in finding the breed of 3 pullets... But a catch. I'm not sure what hatchery their from, if it was Murray McMurray, Ideal or Cackle.... They're also not laying, but today I found a pinkish pearl off white egg in the mud (it was disgusting so I let them have a treat...

So I was holding my Cochin chick,she pooped so I switched her out for a Serema chick, and oy! Maybe it's just because the Cochin chick seems so meaty but this Serema girl, her keel is sharp! I can feel her crop, it's small but full. I just lowered their heat lamp (they kept cheeping and I...

Ok,so due to needing to cut back on feed costs, right now we plan on feeding our chickens, ducks and geese (plus 1 turkey hen) dubia roaches (getting a colony started), barley and free ranging But, come winter, they won't really be willing to even walk outside. So we have 2 choices - Feed them...

So I have pijis,and somehow the door to they're home was knocked open :( so my baby girl got out and I can't, for the life of me, find her. We've had her a week, but she's just so friendly. We have a trap out, the door is open if she wants to fly back in, but the ravens have fledglings and I'm...

Ok, so I stumbled upon a beautiful 'recipe' today that anything that'll eat bread will love. So that means goats, sheep, waterfowl, poultry, etc. All you need is a bowl of flour, then add water until it gets a gummy consistency. Then, serve! Like bread, it serves no nutrional value, but the...
