Thank you! I'm glad I was able to help!

I have never heard of buying fertile eggs from a feed store! I have, however, heard of buying and hatching fertile eggs from trader joe's and similar stores. Buying Fertile eggs is always a gamble, as they are generally shipped and potentially placed in harsh conditions. From eggs I've had...

My favorite rooster, Marquis! I've never had a friendlier or prettier rooster! I hatched him last year along with a pullet, but she died of coccidiosis. I think he needs more SF girls! Just wanted to share him

The pure one, really excited about her/him!

the darkest one is in the back, the blues are in the middle and front

So I just picked up some pretty awesome chicks today! Svart Hona (Swedish Black Hen) BLRW mixes! I wasn't sure what they would look like, but at 4 weeks old I can already really see the feathers. I got a boy and two girls, one of the girls is solid black except for her tongue and toenails, and...

Poisson d' Premium Color-control Hen Feed

Easter Eggers (EE) are a cross between a blue layer, usually an Ameraucana, and a brown layer. This allows for a variety of colored eggs. First generation lays blue-green eggs, while the following generations can lay pretty much any color. These chicks are often sold by hatcheries as "Americana"...

Thank you for reading, and for your complements!

Sometimes it can be hard to tell worms from pregnancy just by looking. She may need a vet visit to tell for sure. Cats can breed at 4 months old, sometimes earlier, so it is likely that she is pregnant. In fact, Bella was pregnant when we found her! Cats can have several litters a year if bred...

Thanks :) My family is having a get together tomorrow and my grandmother asked us to roast a chicken, so I suppose I'm roasting him! We usually stick some butter, onion, and a carrot in the cavity for moisture, maybe some extra butter since there's not much fat on him.

Welcome to BYC! This was my Bella when she was pregnant. She was an amazing momma but she's fixed now. She's a much happier cat after being spayed, actually! It's hard to tell because I kind of messed this pic up when I was first learning Pshop (Cringe). The queen (the mother cat) will get the...

The deed is done. It was a lot easier than expected! Sort of messed up processing him so it doesn't look pretty, but whatever :P dressed out 3lbs 12oz. Really lean

I know cobs and ganders protect the nest, but I always thought drakes were sort of deadbeats

My mallard/pekin mix drake is my friendliest duck, but he gets aggressive when I try to take the eggs off the nest. He gets between me and the nest and bites my fingers as I try to remove the eggs! This is the only time he does this. Is he protecting is potential future babies? If so, do they...

Thanks for the Info!

Thanks for you help :) All of his offspring would have been terminal.It was kind of going to be an experiment to see how it turned out. I've dealt with killing birds before, I've killed a deer before, squirrels. This one is particularly tough for me, I didn't realize how much I saw him as a pet...

Thanks for the support :) I need to stop naming them... I always run into this. I have go and name them something adorable. Chip, Fredo, Tommy. One time my sister named her fair pig "Applesauce". I think the hard part is that he hasn't shown any human aggression, he's fallen asleep in my...

Stupid, stupid, stupid me. I have a beautiful gamecock that I named Thomas. I knew he would fight, so for a while now he's been staying in our garage bathroom with a window to see his friends without getting in a fight and killing them. My plan was to breed him with my three largest hens and...

Let me know if I missed anything big!
