I've done 3 attempted muscovy duck hatches this year with no live ducklings resulting from any of them. The first this spring was an incubator hatch that had one Duckling internally pipped and a few others where fully developed but had never pipped. I figured I messed up humidity and wrote it...

These guys came from a bin labeled "Colored Layers" at Rural King and are about 5 weeks old. I knew they would be an assortment and I know feed stores aren't always the best a keeping things sorted. But I just need needed company for a singleton I hatched. So #1 I'm sticking to actually being...

I'm trying to figure out the proper color names for my 5 muscovys and if I where to hatch what colors I would most likely get. I know recessive genes make this more complicated but just a general idea what genes I'm looking at would help. So hen #1 I've been referring to this color as fawn but...

One of the 3 little roos in question. They where labeled as Ameraucanas at TSC which we all knew was wrong, but I gambled and bought 3 straight run babies. And got 3 roos. But I was labeling them as Delewares and when I showed a picture to my grandfather (who used to raise show birds) he...

Newly arrived SLW she is twisting her neck at this weird angle and twitching randomly. Drinking seems to trigger it sometimes but it can come on randomly. Looks like her head is on backwards and she chirps loudly while it's happening. No other abnormalities that I can see. When not twisted she...

Managed to go 10 years without having one but I have an eggbound hen. She is currently soaking in warm water. She had a large amount of poop around her vent and her crop is empty. I can not feel an egg in her vent but her abdomen feels enlarged and she is doing the classic penguin walk. I know...

He is one of these 3 and he needs to be out of my yard and coop as soon as possible.I'm perfectly okay with with someone eating him as he likes to attack people. He is a jerk who's currently name can't be posted on a family friendly forum he sneaks up on people, attacks from behind as you walk...

These guys are turning 11wks old this Wednesday and Thursday and so far I'm not seeing an male characteristics in these guys, I know they are a bit young but I'm hopeful. 5 are 3/4EE/1/4BA and one of the blacks is a EE/BA and is female as it was sex-link but I'm really not sure which one, but at...

Hey guys I'm not really sure where to put this so I'm putting this here, but if anyone is at the Clearfield County Fair this week and would like to meet me or talk birds you should stop by a visit me at Bad Puddy Tats, Temporary Tattoos and face painting (Ask for Caitlin). We are next to the...

These guys came from an owner who had no idea on sex and breeds. I've figured out the sexes but I'm not sure on breed. These guys (4 roosters and two hens who where bought as chicks from a TSC in Feb.) kind of make me think brown leghorns (I could be wrong I don't have any back ground with the...

This starts with my suspicions the last couple days that my BA/EE hen had started hiding eggs from me and I had been debating looking them up for a few days to get her laying in the coop again. But yesterday I went to lock up and she wasn't in the coop, so I went looking around for her thinking...

Four years ago today my first chickens hatched and on the 19th of this year I will have had chickens for 4 years (shipping time). They arrived at 2 days old and scared me out of my mind. That these 22 tiny little things where all mine to care for, no mother or anything. But I got through it...

These guys are either half or full brothers dad was a BR and mom an EE (I had 3 EE hens at the time), so they most likely will have gorgeous colored chicks . They where raised by broody hens and free-ranged since about 3 days old. I currently have 3 roosters with minimal fighting, so both would...

Yesterday we had an incident, when I got home the BA/EE hen was out of the run and running around and I caught her that night roosting in a tree. So today with not being quite sure how she escaped I replaced the big flocks run with taller fencing which had been formally part of the two dog runs...
