Hi guys, so I have a older duckling that is having a bit of trouble . He seems healthy eating, swimming ect but now that it's getting colder I noticed he's having trouble staying warm in the duck house with the other ducks overnight. I bring him in and cage him overnight but since it stays dark...

So I hatched some turkey poults from my turkeys. The poults are about 6 weeks now. They have been doing really well. Feeding them medicated turkey starter, did preventative corrid. They had such voracious appetites until yesterday now they don't seem to be eating and are very quiet. I haven't...

Thanks for the reply ☺️. I will try hatching mostly dark eggs then

I had previously ordered some copper Maran hatching eggs. Now those chicks are grown and laying. My question is I get both medium brown and really dark brown eggs. The dark ones are the ones I want. If I only incubate the dark ones will the chick that hatch grow to lay dark eggs? Not sure if...

I guess I got bored of my barnyard mix and decided to order some rare hatching eggs with the hope of selling as I've seen a lot of richie people out here like fancy lawn ornaments 🤣. While I'm still waiting for the 3 breeds I chose to lay their own eggs for me to incubate and sell ,from my...

It depends on the individual dog and training. I have several dogs but my one (border collie/husky /Bernese) spends hours a day searching the property for rats and vermin and kills them. He doesn't bother my poultry/livestock

This is an old post but any updates???? I hatched some black and some splash eggs and I ended up with a white rooster. I thought it was odd and this thread is the only info I found on it

Thank you so much for all the information. I wasnt in the market for peafowl but through someone who bought a property and had them left behind I seen they were living in a 3x6 enclosure for their whole life. The male never grew a tail in his 10+ years there so I had to bring them home now in...

Thanks. I'll definitely check that out. This is my peacock

They do look the same. I'm wondering if my peacock is a black shoulder. I didn't know much about peafowl when I got them and they were rescues. I assumed they were regular India blues but maybe not. I am going to get a picture when I'm out by their house after maybe you can tell me

So they both look identical

Thanks for the quick reply. As soon as I get back to the house I'll take some pictures

Not sure if this is already a post but I've had a peafowl senior pair for a couple years. The first year I didn't have an incubator. This year I did. She laid 2eggs a couple months ago that didn't hatch she recently laid 2 more and they hatched 3 days ago(incubator). I know nothing about...

Totally agree with the light. If the coop is pitch black and the moon is brighter, the would rather stay outside

Anyone have ideas what to cross with moziacs for something interesting?

That sounds really interesting. I guess I never put much thought into cross breeding. Though I do have all colour varieties of Sumatra , silkies and Easter Eggers. Now you have me thinking what I can come up with lol

Thanks for the quick reply. I have them on a light just was wondering if they still need it. Do poults grow slower than chicks?the man I bought them from said they were 10 days old(several days ago) and I've been feeding them Turkey starter but they seem small for their age, though this is my...

Hi all, I have 8 turkey poults that are about 2 weeks old now. I have them in the office in a large rabbit cage. I also have my grow shelves for my garden plants and the lights give off heat. My question is since they are in a closed room and the temperature in there is set to 18, plus I have...

Absolutely, I am a total introvert . I have zero friends and like 5 people I talk to a few times a year. I had to of those people having a meltdown to me about laying hens ,as they wanted them and of course they have a lot more money then me so they suddenly wanted point of lay hens instantly...

Uggh the 2 hens made three nests and couldn't keep any of the eggs warm lol. Qe had an overnight power outage so out of the 12 I incubated 5 hatched.
