I let my grey Toulouse geese hatch their own clutch this year, my first goslings! My pair come from different homes, but were supposed to both be Toulouse. To my surprise two of the 6 are colored differently and after some research they appear to be Buff and because if the cross they should be...

So i know it's not ideal and this may turn out tough but whatever it was out first go. I just butchered my first turkey, he dressed out to 44lb! Now I'm trying to brine this sucker to try and be as tender as we can because we did this last minute. Should I just double the 20lb Turkey brine...

My heritage blue turkey hen is setting on an unknown number of eggs. What I can see about half are hers which are not possibly fertile as I got rid of my mature tom a couple months ago. The other half appear to be some of my chickens eggs. I can't get to her where she is and she hasn't been off...

I'm not a fly fisher, nor do I tie, however I've seen there is a market for chicken capes and saddles. I have about a dozen beautiful patterned and colored roosters that I'm considering growing out and am hoping to process and sell their capes and saddles at least. Anyone have any resources on...

This chick hatched Friday, head feathers completely flattened, not fluffed, eyes completely covered and a hole on right side by ear area, a bit of oozing. Decided to let it be, see what happened. Today it looks like this, appears to be eating and drinking but it's head feathers are flattened...

Here's Nimbly an 8wk Favacauna (Americauna x Salmon Favorelles) I have Nim posted elsewhere and the jury is out on pullet or cockerel. The red over the shoulders and hooky tail end has me thinking cockerel but the comb is very small and light still. I'm of course going for a pullet!

Hatched some mix chicks this year and am(for funsies) trying to figure out what they are. My first one has me a bit stumped. It's a cockerel chick with a rose or pea comb, white with grey/black. All my roos have single combs, A RIRXCCL mix, a CCL and a White with Red Leakage "Salmon Favorelles"...

I've been looking for a thread of just a bunch of barnyard mixes. Is there once already? If not lets see your chicken mutts! Here's mine Doc, lead Roo,( RIRXCCL ) His son Peanut (3/4CCL 1/4 RIR) Marilyn Monroo (Supposed Salmon Favorelles but obviously not) Cashew (Doc RIR/CCL xGLW) Chicks from...

Hatched a group of mixed flock eggs under my broody. Most if not all were her own eggs and she's a Olive Egger from CCLxMarans crossing and I have 4 roosters (Lead is a Red Barred RIRxCCL, a mostly CCL, a Dominant White Favorelle mix and a Barred Rock that's new and not likely breeding anyone)...

I go back and forth on this one as it matures. Right now I'm unhappy thinking cockerel. Thoughts?

I have 2 mottled Houdans from different sources and am having a heck of a time deciding if they're cockerels or pullets. Any thoughts? Pictured at 6 and 7 weeks old

I was confident as a chick that my Buff laced was a Cockerel and my White Crested Black a Pullet based on what I read about sexing based on poof shape as young chicks but now I'm not as sure about the Buff. They both have a missing patch that is growing back in on their top but otherwise are...

Hatched a clutch of chicks with s broody of mixed eggs from my flock. One chick is. Unique color Ive never seen. I have no idea what egg or roo its from but any thoughts based on down color what it may be colored as an adult?

Hatched eggs this week from my mixed flock. One is a white with red leakage roo that was supposed to be a Salmon Favorelles over a crisp clean white cochin hen from an unknown background. The chick is blue-lavendar colored down. I wasnt expecting this color chick and understand it could end up...

Have a hen setting 9 eggs due mid this week. I also have a friend hatching some chicks I've been wanting today. I would like to stuff a couple under momma when the others hatch and see if she'll take them but they'll be 4 to 5 days old by then. How old is too old to stick hatched chicks under a...

Have a 3 year old Toulouse Gander with a bone infection in his toe from a fracture. I'm a vet tech and we see poultry a decent amount so have radiographed his foot and put him on medications. The break has significant osteomyelitis eating his bone. We have him on Clindamycin as an antibiotic and...

Have a mixed batch of eggs under a hen one of the possibilities is a CCL roo over a Splash red laced Wyandotte hen, what would that cross look like?

I picked up two 3wk old blue poults (Heritage Bronze x Heritage Blue) on Tuesday from my neighbor. They were hatched by the Turkey hen and had been with her until that day. One is rather calm, not really wanting our attention but not adamant against it hut the other will legit fly away and hide...

So, we had a hen setting on 2 turkey eggs, 2 Americauna eggs and 2 banty eggs. All but 1 developed and they began hatching around the same time (we staggered the turkey eggs from the chicken eggs) day before yesterday. By yesterday morning 2 vanished, no sign what-so-ever. This left 2 turkey...
