    Adding new ducks

    I have a female Pekin who is about 4 months old. She free ranges with some chickens. And has been the odd ball out. Well I hatched her out some more ducks. They are about half her size and are 3 weeks old now. I have been letting them out to free range with her. They sleep in separate pens side...

    What’s this?

    That’s okay! Usually black sex link means you can tell the gender of the chick right away based on color pattern. So it shouldn’t have been a rooster. 🫠 but that tail has a curve… and that chest is sooo gold. But the comb also isn’t too red or anything. If it’s a sex link it’s female. 😅

    What’s this?

    Okay! Nice! So that would also make her an actual female?

    What’s this?

    This was pulled from rural king as a golden laced Wyandotte. Notice it was a little off looking compared to a Wyandotte. But was like… “JUST A WEIRDO! No big deal!” Well the feather pattern is looking super off! Also this chick is about 3 months old and starting to give me some rooster vibes...

    help! Silkies are ugly but they don’t have to be!

    Can anyone recommend a place to get really high quality silkie eggs? I’d love to hatch some! And the birds they sell at TSC and Rural King are so… well they’re cute but also very ugly. I’ve also been looking for seramas!

    Are these show quality?

    Was hoping someone could eyeball these NB silkies and let me know if I’ve got some good ones 😁 was hoping to get some high quality birds for breeding. I realize these aren’t the best pictures and I can get better ones if you guys need them.

    I think I found northern poultry mites on my eggs?

    I went to my coop to take a out the eggs and saw little crawlies all over them… it’s the first time I’ve noticed this… I’ve got around 30 birds and I’m honestly at a loss. I don’t know what to do and I’m not even sure if that’s what I saw. But after some research that’s what it looks like. I’m...

    Walk me through Coccidiosis

    Yes they are cedar… I’ve had chickens for 8 years and have never used anything else. I’m not ruling that out but it just seems odd that this this the batch after YEARS, decides to be special with the cedar. 😂 Thank you for pointing that out. I’ll look into that. I hadn’t heard that before. I...

    Walk me through Coccidiosis

    Some symptoms are blood in the poop or just pooping STRAIGHT blood…. Ruffled feathers like they’re puffy, lethargic, not super interested in eating but they still are eating and drinking. Some are better than others.

    Walk me through Coccidiosis

    I can get some pictures in a bit! I don’t have anyone else who knows much about chickens… I’ve had chickens for 8 years and I’m typically the one answering questions. But I tell people that there’s always something new. I hatched these chicks from my own birds. With the exception of two that I...

    Walk me through Coccidiosis

    How long will my property be infected? Please tell me after a good hard rain 😂 I just wasn’t sure how long it would really last… sorry for all the questions.

    Walk me through Coccidiosis

    So is my property infected now? Or could you explain to me how that works? I had young ones out and about earlier this year with no issues and then this batch all of a sudden… so strange. Two just dropped dead.

    Walk me through Coccidiosis

    Okay… thanks! At what age are they less likely to have it? Some of my 3 and four month birds are good quality Ayam Cemanis. Also I’m sorry… I’m misunderstanding. When you say no egg withdrawal period, do you mean they don’t stop laying or I shouldn’t eat the eggs? 😂 I’m sorry!

    Walk me through Coccidiosis

    I have liquid corid and put 2 teaspoons in their gallon water. They’re only drinking source is the medicated water… when you say give the chick a direct shot of corid… do you mean with a syringe? the birds in my bigger pen are anywhere from 6 years old to 4 months old. And the birds in my...

    Walk me through Coccidiosis

    Do I need to do anything else? One of my chicks I don’t expect is going to live but the others are okay for now.

    Walk me through Coccidiosis

    I noticed one of my chicks was acting weird and when I picked him up, he shot blood all down my leg which was… neat. So I quarantined him and noticed the rest of my chicks were also pooping blood. I’m assuming it’s coccidiosis and I put corid in their water… I had corid on hand for just in case...

    Can I wing sex this “breed?”

    Haha I don’t think you realize what you’re offering. They are still in the process of hatching and I’ve got about 20 of them in my incubator! 😂 however the ones spoken for are the lighter grey ones if you’re willing to take a whack at it when I’m able to pull them out.

    Can I wing sex this “breed?”

    Hello!! I’ve done wing sexing before when I crossed my leghorn over a few different hen breeds. Just wondering if I can wing sex Olive Eggers... I’ve got marans roosters and I crossed them over my Ameraucanas to make Olive egger babies. I’m okay with waiting it out, but a couple friends of...
