Hello, I mixed birds from breeders thinking I would be able to tell them apart. I've bought Ameraucanas (not Americaunas), OE's, and Blue Copper Marans. Some of the Ameraucanas were project birds. There is no beard or muffs, so I am leaning towards a project Ameraucana? If so, does he look good...
Hello, what breed and age do you think this rooster is? I got him at a fair. He has no spurs and he doesn't crow. He coos a lot like my chickens and has befriended my smallest chicken. TYIA

Occasionally, one will get a limp. My birds are all roughly one year old. A few have limped for a couple of days and then recovered. Each...
Hello,
I am glad to have found this forum. I have raised laying chickens for a few years and I have just started raising guineas, meat chickens, ducks, and geese. I came home with the ducks and geese in the Spring of this year after going to the feed store and not being able to resist. It is...
Looking for insights-
I am new to raising ducks and my only drake (cayuga) is 9 months old. He hurt his foot about a month ago. For the last two weeks it seems completely healed, but he has not resumed breeding. I don't know if he is still hurt even though he doesn't appear to be hurt or if it...
