A friend of mine has a pet rooster that is not doing well. He refuses to eat or drink and just sits around. Does not seem to have swollen face or wattles, no cough. Did have green poop at one point and now has not pooped recently. He did have a yellowish material in his mouth that she removed...
I know they are part of the food chain, but I just want them to stay far away from me. In Florida it was the giant flying cockroaches and huge spiders. If you have poultry, then you likely know about mites and lice. Mosquitoes and ticks are the ones that torment us most in VA.
Tell me which...
During the pandemic, a lot of medical workers are at risk because there are not a lot of masks available. Also, there are large numbers of at risk people in the general public who can't find masks. I think it would be awesome if people have spare time, material, or elastic to make masks, and...
I just heard that travel to the US from Europe has been suspended except from Great Britain. This also includes all trade.
What have you experienced, and are you experiencing shortages in your area? Have you been sick, or do you have friends or family that are?
Italy has closed...
It seems to me this feature is getting worse instead of better. I used to have to hit the like button twice to get it to work. Now it seems that every time i refresh a page, the likes i gave a missing. Getting frustrated. Anyone else with this issue?:barnie
I have had bad pain in my left shoulder and neck for 2 weeks now. I have seen 4 doctors. One was a family doctor, two were ER doctors and today i saw an Ortho doc. For pain i was prescribed Motrin. Mortin didn't help at all. I have been nauseated, and my blood pressure is way up because of the...
I am having trouble posting photos. I know how to do it, but when i try to post them, they disappear. Often i have to do it 2 or 3 times, as i do with liking posts.
I was wondering how common , or unusual albino Coturnix quail are. I got two from eggs i bought, but they both died. Later i got more from eggs hatched from birds i hatched from that original dozen of eggs i bought. Also in that group i got silvers and A and M patterned birds. Anyone else have...
Since i now own lovely Tolbunt Polish and Crested Cream Legbars, and they are growing fast, i need to get busy and build a coop.
I have chosen the site, near my new Turkey Coop, so it can use the side of the turkey runs as the back of the chicken runs.
Here is the site:
I have James Marie Jumbo Browns, Texas A & Ms, and a few Silvers ( just starting to lay). Eggs are $5 a dozen plus shipping, whatever that is these days to where you are. I use Priority usps. Fertility is great, they are hatching like crazy. I collect eggs several times a day.
Hello everyone! I have young turkeys that really need a coop and run of their own. Turkeys require 10 square feet of coop space per bird, and 20 square feet of run space per bird. Ultimately i will weed the turkeys out and keep 5 females and one male. Right now i have 9 youngsters and 3 small...
I started building a brooder today. It is 7 feet long, and 30" wide. The plan is to put in dividers so i can put different types of babies in them, or different ages separate. Right now i have quail eggs, guinea eggs and chicken eggs.
Thought i would post this for anyone interested.
Ok, i keep hearing a lot of things that i consider false being perpetuated. Lets see if we can confirm or bust some myths. All BYC rules must be adhered to. No bickering. State your opinion, and provide evidence if possible. Remember, family friendly site.
I have a Brinsea 20 Octagon and a new Incuview but its just not enough space. So rather than spend a whole lot of money on another commercial incubator i decided to make my own. I figure i need a container, a fan, a thermostat and a heat source. Follow along and see how i screw up along the way.
I am currently building a lean-to in order to have shelter for my rabbits. They are in my barn right now, but i want to get goats so i need more shelter. This type of structure could easily serve as a large coop or coop run combo. The advantage is that one side is already built for you. Follow...
