She is only 2 years old. I do make sure to give her food and water I place in the box with her a few times a day and sit with her a few minutes each time to make sure she is eating and drinking ok and I do see her hour usually in the hottest part of the day for a few minutes in the pool
Well, I was thinking/hoping a different hen would set them this time. I wasn't expecting her to do it again so soon. Yes, I am wanting them to hatch the eggs trying to get more ripples like my male. I have the babies sold when I figure out what ones, if any I'll keep due to color and markings...
Had a snake get in with the baby ducks (killed one baby) so my daughter tried to get them back (out of the shed) so she could get to the snake and keep the babies safe. Moma said NO!
Yes they are the same bird! He did not have any blue on him at all when i got him. That was his actual color when i bought him. I have never had one change that much. He is my only ripple one and that was why i got him. I am in central US.
At the moment have 10 adults and 18 babies. I have one hen that seems to be a "setter only"? she set one clutch and hatched out 10 babies but after they hatched out, she don't want anything to do with them and two of my other hens took over being mom and the babies stay with the adopted mom(s)...
Thank you. I have actually looked at that site many times but couldn't find one like him or with the darker snowflake type pattern on each of the blue feathers on his back. He did not have the blue on him til recently. When I got him he was the brown ripple look. I'll attach a picture of what he...
Can anyone help identify or give suggestions on what's going on with my hen's eyes? She was fine a few hours ago and went out a few minutes ago and noticed she is walking around with both eyes closed. They are the only two birds in the pen. Wonder if she's being picked on by him due to being the...
Hi, we moved to another state and i am starting over on birds and so I am looking for any type of cheap or reasonably-priced fertilized eggs to be shipped to try out our new home-made incubator! Can be anything basically, pure or mixed chickens, ducks, geese, turkey, guinea, quail or pretty much...
All mine were tame before and most were ones I raised. I will probably get a few hundred birds total but don't plan on getting back into the larger animals.. mainly thinking about chickens ducks and some quail
Before I had to sell all mine I had 200+ ducks, a few hundred chicks, over 1000 quail, and tons of others like turkeys, pheasant, chukars, guinea and geese. Then had rabbits, pigs, goats, horses, and donkeys... now all I hear is the neighbor dog haha don't sound as good lol
This place sure has changed! We had to move so i had to get rid of all my animals for the last 3 years so haven't been on this site in a few years and just moved back to Louisiana back to our farm. We don't have any birds at the moment :( we have always had animals (15 years here) and it feels...
