I am on the hunt for a heritage goose breed to replace my geese. I had a pair of Toulouse (I think, never did know for sure), but something got them last night; I'm guessing coyotes..... All I found was the hen's body- headless. 😭😭😭😭
they must have been doing their job because whatever it was...
Hello! I have two mystery waterfowl on my hands. To make a long story short, I started with a gander and bought a hen from someone this spring. I put the gander and goose hen in the turkey pen- my most secure pen- to convince them that they are a pair before releasing them back with the ducks...
I am searching for some good show quality runner duck eggs.
Please let me know if you have any that you might be able to send and how much. I'm not picky on which color of runner ducks as long as they're good quality birds the eggs come from.
Whatever they are, they are carried by ideal poultry .They were packing peanuts that came with my duck order. My sister-in-law was guessing they were bantam mille fleurs, but they're the same size as similarly aged white leghorns. I was guessing cochins maybe?
can anybody help identify the colors? the larger, dark brown should be just "jumbo"/wild color, right?
What about the lighter birds? Any way to tell gender by color? First time "quail-mommy" here.
I have a bunch of chickens running around my farm in Idaho that need a home. I am out of state for the school year and cannot watch them. Possible breed- naked necks (one proven broody with her new babies in that category), some bantams of various breeds, should be some Leghorns of laying age (a...
I have about 7-8 heritage turkeys that need to be sold as I am bit able to look after them. They are just about fully grown. There are at least 3 hens in the group, but I will not sell them without a tom. Location-Wendell Twin falls, ID area. Breed- most of them are red slate.

My sister's chickens are getting lethargic and have very pale combs. She's tried electrolytes band probiotics. Told her to look for mites. Said she saw red buggies. Sent her to pick up some DE. Any other possibilities? Can mites kill off chickens?
Help! One of my duck hens has a broken leg. Do I just wrap it? Can I give her anything? On another note, my husband's stupid puppy is getting kicked into the goat pen. And she's going to stay there too!!!!!
I haven't seen the NYE hatch along yet, so maybe they aren't doing it this year? Either way, I put 9 royal palm turkey eggs and about a dozen of my own duck eggs in the incubator on Sunday. I am excited! The duck eggs are the first of my own eggs I have ever tried. Anyone else set for a December...
I am starting a new tractor this week. Need a bit more space for my babies in the incubator. I will be updating this page with photos and step-by-step directions. For now, here is the plan for it with materials and approximate cost.
Hello! I just moved to Idaho, and I have my landlords permission to build a chicken tractor to wheel around his empty pasture, but I gave my chickens away/sold them as I didn't think I could keep them. All I have left is my 6 runner ducks at my sister's place. Portable duck pen ideas, anyone...
My Drake is about 4 months old and just reached puberty recently. Noticed when I caught him earlier today that his "junk" is stuck outside the vent. Looks swollen and brown from poo. Cleaned him and dipped his butt in the pond. Anyone have this problem with boy poultry before? What should I do?
My first runner duck Drake just reached puberty a couple weeks ago. Noticed today his "junk" was stuck outside the vent, swollen and poo-covered. Anyone have advice?
Normally don't interfere with my cat's hunting but when I hear a baby crying it's different. Looks like the little things actually OK, just a small toothmark that I put antiseptic on and wrapped in a bandaid. Can't find its best until morning at least. Had an eyedropper and save-a-chick so gave...
Is this male or female? Voice sounds different from my pullets, feather colors make more sense for cockerel too. Really red comb as well. It is a little over 3 months old, blue Wheaton ameraucana according to seller.
