I say Uh Oh, because I don't have a way to candle them. Last I checked them was day 14, my children destroyed all my ways of candling. So I'm going off faith here. They were all swimming around day 14 (well the ones I kept). Today is day 28. Do I wait for them to pip, should I check and see...

Hi folks, long time no talk My sebbies have been laying for a month, and I decided to put some in the incubator. I have 4 developing very well, but I remember hearing all the horror stories about how to keep them alive. I have a Brinsea with a humidity pump, have it set to 99.7 and 55%...

Sorry if this has been posted before, I haven't been here in a while, and wanted to get the word out. Anyone else going? 1st ANNUAL APO CASA GRANDE SHOW 2010 Our big Casa Grande show is almost here! The date for our show is the last weekend of February 2010 (27th) in Casa Grande at 11 Mile...

Hi everyone! I have two pairs of young Sebastapol geese, and I want to know which ones to enter. I might have to take pictures for this one, but I'll do my best describing. The two males, one has a longer body/back. The feathers are curly all over on both of them. Both have great heads, and...

I am so confused. I have to enter 4-H entries by today, they have to have band numbers, but they don't want the bands put on before we get to the show (WHAT???) So I had to buy a bunch of bands and went off their size list. I bought plastic bandettes size 7's 9's and 11's. They said 7s...

Have some 4 week old blue back ringnecks and wondering when you can starts figuring out the sexes? Thanks!

I bought some pheasant eggs on here and I had the first one out today and 6 more shake, rattle, and rolling. They are Blue Backed Ringnecks (?) I believe. I was happy to try my hand at them, but now what!?!? What type of feed? Do I need to keep it separate from the chickens or can I mingle...

Has anyone seen eye infections in their chicks? I am talking crusty eyes, glued shut. The one I had to cull, it was swollen shut, and then as I tried to clean it, it was worse. The next day it was swollen up and she looked like the admiral on star wars. It was SO huge and ugly. I started...

I'm looking for some juvenile (1 1/2 years or more) or full grown pea hens for my peacock. I just got him and know he's gonna want some girls or he is not going to stick around. He is a Black Shouldered India Blue. I don't know if I need hens of the same or if you can "mix and match"...

Can anyone help me out? These ducks make such a MESS! Their brooder is always a muddy swimhole (and I only put a regular waterer, not a dish), I had a couple of ducklings this year die either from drowning, or getting stuck in the mud they make so quickly. I tried pine shavings, but the...

Just picked up a year old boy (is it cockeral for peafowl?) I thought I knew what I was doing but it's obvious I don't. What should it be eating? How much? It was free-ranging at her house, but I have it in an enclosed 4x8 pen, do I need bigger? What type of waterer do I need? Thanks In...

I tried over in Meat Birds, no one is answering. I have a 10 week old Pekin looks like it broke its leg, or the leg gave out. I dont believe in making it suffer, and I don't believe in just killing it and wasting the meat also. Has anyone ever butchered ducks, is it much different than...

I don't want to but if I have to I want to know how. Is there a sticky on duck butchering?

My Pekin tonight was sitting and couldn't really get up. I went to look at her (I have 6 total) and she couldn't get away. Finally when I got closer she forced herself up on her leg and limped away from me. I looked closely to see if she had a cut or thorn, but couldn't see anything wrong. I...

Looking for ewes, young or old, to start a breeding project for market/meat lambs. Willing to travel some!

I have two Australorp hens, and I just wondered if I should let them build a nest and sit on their own eggs. I've been collecting them and incubating them, but just wondering why I"m doing all the work all of a sudden I know my columbian rocks aren't going broody, so that's why I started...

I'm hoping to bring my silkies and australorps.

Does anyone raise these two? I would love to have them. Eggs, chicks, or full sized. Any info would be helpful for me to find breeders.

I was at a show and someone had a sign that said Doves for Sale and they had some PIGEON there. I said, Um, that's not a dove, that's a white pigeon, and they were like, No one knows the difference, so what if it's a pigeon? I have raised White Doves 3 times in the past, I KNOW the difference...
