Does anyone raise Egyptian geese that can tell me more about them. I don't feel like wikipedia is the most up to date or accurate place to get information.
What breed is this? This bird just showed up two days ago, we thought it was a duck, but after picking it up today, it honks.... Anyone have any ideas??
Can someone explain to me the various colors you can cross? I have a pair of Lemon Blues and am looking at getting a pair of brown reds as I heard the splash can be bred to them to get more Lemon Blues. Can the blues be bred to the brown reds? I'm trying to understand everything and get it...
I picked this guy up yesterday at a sale. Everyone thought he was a polish, anyway, I'm wondering if he looks like a quality bird and where I could maybe find him a girlfriend if he is. I had looked for these guys for awhile but couldn't find any. He is a very handsome guy and doesn't seem...
This is our surprise box we got last week. I'm just assuming everything with feathered feet is a cochin since I don't see any with extra toes. We have one with cheek puffs, maybe an aracauna. We have a bunch of chipmunk colored ones and no idea what they are. We got 4 turkeys, I was hoping for...
We have started fermenting feed for our layer flock. I noticed that they are not eating as much as they were when we started the fermented feeds weeks ago. Is this normal?
If he is a birchen blue, then do I just need to find birchen blue hens to breed him to? I'm assuming you don't typically interbreed the various color types.
Is there a good place where I can see pictures of the various types? The gold ones aren't being bred, they will end up going in the freezer most likely.
Can someone tell me if this guy is an Iowa Blue? If he is then I would like to get him some hens. I was told that he was but there seems to be a little diversity among the breed as far as color so I guess I wanted more expert opinions. Sorry about the mess, they were brought home and in...
They were from late 2016 spring hatch. I've honestly never seen the rooster mount her, she just started laying a few weeks ago. These are my only two SFH but they are in with 30 or 40 other birds. Younger layers that aren't laying yet and 2 other roosters. All the roosters are the same age and...
Does anyone have suggestions on where to get SFH chicks? I have a rooster and one hen, we had a second hen but she died suddently? I'm guessing she a weasel got her, but not sure. Everyone else is doing great. I am however having a hard time finding some more chicks. We are in southern Iowa and...
Hello all! We are looking for some cornish birds to raise for meat birds, I didn't realize they were so hard to locate. We are located in southern Iowa. Can anyone maybe point me in a good direction on where I can find some quality cornish we can raise and breed for meat production? Thanks!
