So I just had this chick hatch. I didn't even know she was going to I never marked down the date from the start of incubation and I'm kicking myself for that. So I never raised the humidity or left the baton closed towards the end of incubation. I didn't even stop turning it. So yesterday I went...
I think my rooster Ol' Gunner has bumble foot :( I had a turken who had bumble foot or some other infection on his knees and I preformed surgery on him on both knees. Now he is doing fine and I want to know now if my rooster has it or not. Can I get some info? There is a scab and it's a little...
Alright so what you have to do is keep digging until the white-ish "kernel" pops out until it pops out keep digging then rubbing alchohal and vet wrap or gauze that won't stick to the sticky flesh/blood.
Name: Ol' Gunner
Breed: standard
Age:1 year on July 17th
This sassy boy is photogenic and aggressive! He is very good at defending himself with all the other cocks out there and he is beautiful if I might say so myself!!![/IMG][/IMG]
Alright. So with this brutal winter, I have had to bring my hens and roosters inside and the only way my dad would let me keep them inside, was to keep them in my basement. So they aren't getting any vitamin d. Is it okay to give them vitamin d supplement? If so what would be the dosage? I have...
Alright though I have one more question. My other hen I think just started laying again but her first egg in like 6 months is the size of a quail egg?? She is a slightly smaller hen though because she's a mix but her normal eggs from last year were maybe a little larger than half a regular sized...
Alright thanks everyone! I actually did somewhat of an experiment too! I out the hen in a different cage and guess what? She was laying lol easy answer I guess I wasn't thinking haha so proud of my girls!!
Can one hen lay 2 different colors of eggs? Last night my hen started laying again and I found 2 eggs in her pen. Now who else is in her pen was another chicken(hen that hasn't later yet) a small hen and a rooster. It couldn't have been the small hen because her eggs are very small. And the...
hey what kind if bird is this? She lays eggs regularly. And we got her from the pheasant pen? We thought she was a pheasant when she was a baby but now she's full grown and we have no idea what she is
Hey here!!! My turken HAD mites and I powdered her with special mite powder. The mites looked like little oval shaped yellow almost see though and a head. And looked like 6 legs? It was bad. After I powdered her, the mites were gone but I noticed some little white bumps at the roots of almost...
I'm willing! My mom said if I can build a safe habitat for them then I can have them!! And remind you all I'm 14 lol. I have all the time in the world(besides when I'm dancing every night and school work) lmao not much time but if I build in the summer then I can just tweak all winter so can't...
Lmao. I'm trying!! I have a turken now! She has messed up legs though and won't ever be able to breed. First you would have to breed a male chicken with a female turkey(bc of the size difference for your best chance) then a male duck with a female turken(for the size again) I'm hoping to get...
I live in Illinois. But as of right now, my birds are in my basement. We're planning on moving to a farm in the next year. So there's light on all time if needed. They have heat if needed and light and all things they need so there not missing out on much.
What I would do is leave it. If it goes like more than 5 to 6 hours then If it's a hard shell then take a paint brush and get some hot water. Dip the paint brush in the water and wet the shell and take tweezers and start remaking the shell a little by little. Then just leave it. If its the soft...
Thing is is that I have 2 coturnix males. If I get 2 coturnix females, how would I arrange them? I can have them together for a few days then separate the males and females. Or. I can do 2 pairs. I can separate then at different times and stuff. Lets just say this: i have the 2 coturnix males(I...
