We have searched and searched for info on wyandotte tails and there is tons of conflicting information out there. We are trying to judge the best wyandotte we have. Which tail do you think it better?
We have some white calls and last month they were bright white. Now, the drake is turning yellow a little. They are kept in a covered pen with clean water and do not get fed corn. I read online that white calls should have lots of sun to keep white but I always thought the sun was bad.

I am looking for a trio (or more) self blue D'anvers that are currently laying eggs. I am only purchasing high quality show birds from good lines. I live in Maine and will travel throughout the state and to NH/VT if necessary to pick up birds.
In a few weeks I am getting a couple of grey call ducks. This is our first time ever having ducks. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on ducks. Thanks.

I was wondering if any body had any suggestions on what color of modern game I should get, or if you have any tips on them also pictures are great.
Thanks

I am thinking of showing my birds and I know they need to be npip tested. So I was wondering if my birds end up testing positive will they be culled? Also what is the average price to test them?
Thanks in advance

Hi. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to prevent newly hatched chicks from rolling other eggs over. Also does anyone think chicks bumping into other eggs reduces the hatch rate?
Thanks in advance:)

We are looking for a young barred rock rooster.
We have 2 three month old hens and want to incubate some barred rock eggs.
We also have 3 sexlinks that will be with the rooster.
We live in Oakland Maine and would prefer not having to travel very far.
We will travel a little depending on your...
We just got our Hovabator Genesis set up. The temp always between 99.5 and 100.0. We tried it at first without any water in it and the humidity dropped to 22%. We filled the #1 channel like it says to do and the humidity went up to 56 and is holding there. Is this too high for the first 18...
I just bought a hovabator Genesis incubator. We have been reading all about them online. We would like to hear what you think about them and if you have any success stories.
Thank you

For our next hatch attempt we are going to be using a hovabator 1602n with a fan. I thought this was a still air incubator but since it has a fan is it concidered a forced air? It makes a huge difference as to what I set the temp!
What do you guys think? What would you set the temp at?
I have searched this site and the net to try and find out the best humidity.
Some say use no water and keep it at 30%
Others say 50-60 is best. I've also read to keep them as humid as possible.
Since we failed our first 2 attempts at hatching, I want to make sure I've got it right before we...
My 10yo son has very few interests but about a year ago he took a serious interest in chickens! Since I try and encourage all activities that interest him, we have spent a good number of hours at chicken shows and swaps. He has even bartered a few times to get new chicks! Anyways, this...
