:frow:oldNow that I have a blue eyed 2 month old chicken (who I expected to have brown eyes) I am stumbling on the realization that out of the thousands of chickens I’ve owned over the years, I’ve never had such a chicken with Blue eyes. Further research tells me it’s because it’s supposed to be...

Have had JG’s for years. I got these JG chicks from Hoover hatchery to refresh my flock…..this is the first I’ve ever seen with blue eyes. All mine have always had brown. Even my blue and splash JG’s have brown eyes. Anyone ever seen this before?

Eh, I take a bunch of pics of the emu mob, my main muse is my largest male Khaos Hyperion. Got some pretty good ones this morning and wanted to share! Enjoy!! :wee:wee

Hey all! :wee So we’re getting in our shipment of thanksgiving turkeys soon and we wanted to do them inside of electric poultry netting (premier 1), BUT they’ll be co located and moved around our emus 3 acre pasture. And we were thinking this could be a safety hazard, but we were also wondering...

Hey BYC fam! :wee So I’ve got an interesting girl (pictured) who has a fully crooked beak. It’s not a cross beak, it’s just all slanted to one side. It’s pretty dramatic, I’ve never seen anything like this before that wasn’t actual cross beak, wonder if anyone else has? She’s a red sex link...

Hello fellow guineafowl peeps! Were starting to hatch out guineas, finally!:clap:wee We have three lavender pied already, with a few more to come! I have 40 eggs in the incubator set to hatch late May, and will be updating with pics, etc when they hatch. Is anyone a guru about color genetics...

Hello All!! I've got a beautiful large Blue JG roo that i want to breed with my young NH Red...to create what im calling "New Hampshire Giants". My NH female grew fast, and is quite large and heavy. Shes even heavier than my JG female is. She has good meat on her, and is also an excellent...

Hi all! Just looking to see if anyone buys feed from any local Florida feed mill? I’m looking to buy in bulk for my mixed flock, and hopefully get a bulk discount. Also wanting to support local businesses. Let me know if there any you know of and can recommend or anything. Thanks all! :hugs:wee...

Hello BYC Fam! :woot:frow Anyone have pics of their Blue or Splash jersey giant roosters? I have a pair I got from the hatchery. They are supposed to both be blue, but I am thinking my male must be splash, because he is a much lighter blue color than the female (who is a very dark, almost black...

Hello BYC Fam :frow:frow:frow So I *usually* only set like with like when incubating. But I want to try to set duck chicken and quail eggs together today. I have a new GQF cabinet incubator, which is AMAZING btw :love. Its been running for over 24hrs now, and is holding steady at 99.5 F...

Hello All!:frow I used my nurture right 360 to hatch my first few goose eggs, and it worked great! Its too small to hatch a larger number of goose eggs, so I got a GQF cabinet incubator to be able to do more eggs from my flock. I was curious how seasoned hatchers hatch their goose eggs? During...

These girls are all about 2 months old. The littlest I know are EE’s but the big girl, not sure. I know she’s not RIR, but I think she may be red sex link, production red, or New Hampshire? Any thoughts? Definitely larger than my EE girls

Ok. I just picked up two more pilgrims to add to my beautiful flock. I am aware pilgrim and cotton patch look pretty similar, anyone know of any ways to tell the difference? These new girls are slightly lighter in color than my pilgrims, and I’m starting to wonder if I got my hands on the...

Got movement in one of my goose eggs day 23….I know it’s too early. I stopped rotating them and put it on the side with the air sack up like the hatching guide recommended. Is it too soon to be expecting a hatch? I’m nervous something is wrong. The air sack looks ready already, too.

Just curious if anyone has tried this? Success?:jumpy I know muscovy females are great sitters and layers, considering giving them goose eggs this next season...:wee M:bun

BYC fam, Saw at my local TSC, and curious if anyone has used on poultry? It has a list of ingredients in the pictures. I know garlic and other herbs like oregano have been used, but unsure about some of the others? Thoughts? would be wanting to use on chicken and geese mixed feed.

Hi all, I have a new 2 year old American tufted buff and she seems to have some skin and feather issues :confused: She seems to fairly constantly itch her skin (more than just preening) and she has quite a few broken feathers. It’s strange, it’s like feathers that break in half and the...

Hi All, Been having a predator problem. Had my favorite EE who we are now calling “One Wing” get her wing ripped off a few days ago. I’ve just been super busy with everything I haven’t had time to ask for advice! She seems to be eating and drinking well now. What I’ve done so far is: day 1-...
