My Buff Orpington just went broody and I need some fertile eggs to give her. I've tried with all my local resources but for one reason or the other I can't get any right now. I'm not going to be picky about breeds, I'd just really like to give her the opportunity to hatch some babies. I live in...
I have 11, 3 week old silkies in a brooder. All seem to be doing fine except for this one. It seems to be having constant tremors or ticks. It eats and drinks fine, and it runs around with the other chicks. I've never seen something like this before. It's mainly in the head and neck. It will...

We culled it because I didn't know what else to do. If there was a chance of it infecting the others I wasn't willing to do that. They will be in isolation for quite a while as they're still to young to go outside so I will watch and make sure nothing happens to the others. It's whole...
I had a chick that was about a month old and it had something that looked like worts on it's back. They were dry and white and scabby looking. I was hoping that they would go away but when I checked again there were more. I don't know anything about poultry disease's and I can't find anything on...

I bet the splash and blues end up all boys....sorry ERIN just a hunch . Seems that all of the blue and splash babies coming out of this pen have ended up boys with the exception of one little blue pullet that is going to be staying here with her mommy. She's a sweetheart like her daddy...
Hi everyone, I just wanted to show off pictures of my babies and ask a few questions. I got my first BCM eggs in Nov and my first three babies hatched on Nov 22, so that makes them about 7 weeks old now. I actually ended up with 1 boy and 2 girls which couldn't have been more perfect. So these...
I've been looking to buy some Black Copper Maran eggs and now I've come across Copper Black Marans. I am wondering what the difference is. Are they the same thing? If not what is the difference and which is the more traditional that came from France? Thanks
These are my runners. I think I got them in July but I don't quite remember. They were supposed to be all girls but I ended up with one male which I was actually really happy about. I have two blues and 2 browns. The male is the blue one in the middle.
I just wanted to reintroduce myself in the duck section. I've asked a couple of questions here before but never as a duck owner. I've spent the last month or so trying to find Indian Runners and I finally found an ad on craigslist for 1 adult male named Jack and some ducklings, for free!! So we...
I don't know if anyone would be interested in trading but I have been looking everywhere for Indian Runner ducks and I'm having the hardest time finding them. So I thought I'd see if anyone had some eggs and would like some quail eggs. PM me if you are interested. Thanks so much.
Hi, I just found this post and I had a question along this same topic. I just put 7 A&M eggs under my silkie and I was wondering if anyone just takes the quail chicks away as soon as they hatch rather than letting the silkie try to raise them. I don't really have the room or the resources to...
