Folks I was going to purchase Rouen ducklings from the Mt Healthy Hatchery in Cincinnati this coming spring. I called today to place my order and found out that they won't be producing that breed this year. We are looking for some for our lake to keep the geese away. Does anyone have any...
Kathy, my two Purple Pied (guessing because there are so many white feathers - shipped as purples) are doing very well thanks in part to you and the others in this list. Healthy poop for over two weeks straight. Not seeing much barring on those two. Guessing hens. Haven't put them out with these...
Ok so folks I have very lite purple peachicks with a lot of white flight feathers. How do I sex them? They are about 2+ months old. I see some barring on the ones back and maybe very lite barring on the wing feathers but not sure.
Question - love this group by the way - we r in Northern KY, Greater Cincinnati and I've been concerned that the purple peafowl that I have may not be able to tolerate the cold temps. The one has lots of white in the wings and such. Are they from greens? Aren't greens cold intolerant? Or am I...
Thanks.This is all a new world for me. I'm worrying that the peachicks I got from Strombergs may be a Java type that won't be able to tolerate our winters, they are so light taupe in color. I could very well be over thinking everything at this point.
So they keep Turing their water over. I spoke with the avian vet and I started giving the am... Med for the cocci... She's seeing them on Monday - Again. $141.00 each time!!
She had me use two round of the meds for cocci plus an antibiotic. She's had me keep them on the medicated chick food with the electrolyte water. Last round ended a week ago.
Two rounds of antibiotics and dewormer from the vet. Electrolyte and medicated feed. One has it the other doesn't. They are both gaining weight. I believe the one who has it is the large Pea. I guess I deleted the poo pics. I'll get more in the am for you.
