    The American Cemani Breeders Club...open forum

    Not sure if this forum is very active anymore! But if it is, I have a question! So I have 3 ayam cemani I hatched out of some eggs from a local breeder. She has fantastic birds, black everywhere. Unfortunately these 3 I have are now 3 months old or so, almost 4. They have perfectly black...

    Have any of you ever had khaki Campbell x Muscovy crosses? How common is it? What did they look like?

    I had my khaki slip into my Muscovy pen one day...time babies came around, I ended with one mixed baby out of the bunch. He looks like a Rouen duckling, but my muscovies are black and white, so I often have ones that look like that. I wasn't sure at first who was pure and who was not, but the...

    Help! Introducing a hen to Muscovy flock

    That is very smart!! I do that with roosters who try to get sassy with me, and occasionally my gander during breeding season lol. Hadn't thought to try it with ducks bullying each other!! I will totally keep that in mind, thank you! Also! Little update, got the other group sold, and so my...

    Caruncles on back of neck?

    It's not a problem. Not sure why some have it and some don't, but it is totally fine! I had a big chocolate boy with them on the back of the neck, he was 2 or 3 years old. But my oldest drake is probably 7, and he doesn't have them! So it's a totally individual thing.

    Help! Introducing a hen to Muscovy flock

    Thank you so much for the advice!! That makes sense to lock the bully up to give her a break! I think I may try it, surely eventually they will all become buddies! It just may take some work ;) Thank you!! Nice to hear it's worked for someone else.

    Guineas dying, help!!

    Thanks! I sure am hard on myself, especially if I might've caused one of my precious babies to die! I will work on that though, lol ;) I hope it is too!

    Guineas dying, help!!

    Thank you!! Any input is much appreciated :) I hate to admit it, but it's been over a month since there has been a full clean of the guinea coops. Guinea poop is so small and dry it hasn't been on the top of my list! I am working on that right now, and I'm disinfecting everything too, so if that...

    Guineas dying, help!!

    Hi! I tried inspecting it on the ground under the roosts...I wasn't able to see any abnormalities, one little poop looked a little more runny, but I couldn't find any full blown diarrhea or bloody stools. All the rest I could find were normal dry guinea poops! Granted there are over 20 roosting...

    Replacing dead eggs under goose with new eggs...should I?

    So I have a lovely African goose who has been sitting devotedly for about 20 days. I wish I had thought to earlier, but I forgot about candling, and didn't until tonight. Sadly, the 5 (of 12) I candled have pretty much no development. They are pretty clear, some have a bloby yolk that moves like...

    Man, you are lucky that they are all so friendly with you! I tried really hard to tame my guineas, and they will come to me for treat and don't mind my presence nearby, but they will totally not let me touch them or get too close, lol. Yours sound so sweet! I was really worried when i started...
