My Bresse pullet hasn’t been able to walk for about a week now but isn’t ideal able to really walk. She has been hobbling around her pen on her arms for eating and drinking purposes and I isolated her from the others. I can’t really tell a difference between her and the others legs other than...
I’m wondering about the cross that I listed in the title and a silver duckwing x Golden duckwing. If you know what this makes, please let me know! Also, if anyone knows how to make a blue old English, let me know too!
My Hedemora chick is experiencing a huge and growing feather cyst on the back of its neck. What can I do to help it or drain the cyst or should I just let it be? I will include pictures below.
I have a fawn duckwing cockerel and a pullet and a black old English rooster. I had two fawns hatch today but I was wondering if I could breed my fawn pullet to my black rooster and make a sport and breed that sport back to the black rooster to get some more pure blacks. And can I make any...
I am looking for a hedemora landrace breeder who has a diverse flock of at least woolied feathers and regular feathering clean legged and four different colors. I will accept all three feather types, however, and am interested in any color available (champagne, partridge, lavender...
Hello, I noticed a spree of hatching egg sales from 2011-2013 of rare breeds such as Koro Sea, Colloncas, Quechua, Huastec, and Ponape. I am interested in these breeds and wondering if anyone has hatching eggs they would like to sell. Thanks!

I have a white Coturnix female and an Italian coturnix male. I’ve heard gold is dominant and that most Italians are bred with other Coturnix varieties anyways due to the lethal cross of two golden genes. Please let me know if these will look like Italian or golden or another variety. Thanks!
So I usually only breed chickens but lately I have gotten more into quail. I currently have two Italian coturnix and one female white. From what I’ve read, if I breed the white to an Italian it will produce mostly Italian, maybe some golden, and potentially a few brown. Is this true. I know...
I recently purchased my roasters for this summer and McMurray offered me a free rare chick. Just wondering- has anyone ever gotten a hen or is this ALWYAYS a rooster?
My salmon Faverolles are on day 21 and started popping last night- two pipped around 10 last night and their holes have only grown larger. The birds are still alive but I’m concerned they aren’t hatching fast enough. Advice?
Hi, I am running my first batch of eggs through my new Janoel 12 incubator. On the manual, it tells me that temps for chickens should be 38.2 C from days 1-6, 38 from 7-14, 37.8 on day 15 and 37.2-37.5 on days 16-21. I have always been taught 99.5 F the entire time and am a bit skeptical of ever...
