I got some eggs from my brother and of the two that hatched, they both hatched upside down with bent necks. My daughter calls it Rye neck What can I do?

After several months of battling every mite and disease she could catch. After several years of cruel confinement and mis treatment. After being rescued. After showing her beautiful personality. After being the smallest hen I had. Ginger passed away in her sleep last night. She was a Golden...

I saw the prettiest little hen today and I can't figure out what she was. It's driving me crazy. I've gone through several breed indexes and am beginning to believe she was a cross. She had a brown/black head, buff hackles, brown speckles on her chest and back leading into a brown butt... I may...

I decided to set some eggs tonight after watching the 'bator run empty for two weeks. It needed to be filled. So I set a full -with turner- bator at 10:30 tonight. Heres what's in it! 9 EE, Top left corner... 2 White Leghorn x SLW 14 mixed claret egg, not sure on which were from the spangled...

I got home late tonight. I had gone by the tattoo shop after work to talk to one of my friends, and ended up staying there well after the new day rollled over. I asked my mother to do me one favor, go by and lock up the coops. (This was asked of her LONG before dark.) she said okay, she would...

I have 18 eggs in the bator out of my Pekin drake, over my Cayuga girls... Unfortunately, he is now my only (live) duck and is a total terror. Before, he was a gentleman. Helped the girls when they sat, helped them find nests, guarded them... But, I went hog hunting and had a sitter. She...

Test run on my new LG. Had about 19 leftover duck eggs from my late Cayuga hen that were still looking viable, so I set them aside while temperature /humidity issues were leveled out. Not expecting a big hatch, and I have a staggered hatch going. I also set about 20 chicken eggs. 3 EE, 15...

My father has a SSH rooster he acquired at a fair. He is looking for some hens, around the Laredo area. Please message me if you have any.

I haven't posted in a while. Really hectic life, you all know how that goes. But, it has fallen onto failure to keep up with my 60 lb growing monster of a puppy. Blue is a forever dog, he could never do anything to make me say otherwise. I pulled him out of a ditch (along with mom and sister)...

My little Donna laid her first egg today! It was a small egg, and mostly black with white patches. Beautiful, were going to hollow it out. She's a six month old Cayuga, I expected it to come in the spring but SURPRISE! We found it in the ground nest box we have for the bantams, it looked huge...

I have two very vocal Boer goats that are disturbing my elderly neighbor and must be rehomed. They only get loud around feeding times, but she's usually trying to sleep then. Very tame, sweet goats. The female is 4 and the young male (her son) is 2. They've only been with each other since he was...

some of you may be aware of my ongoing battle with the pack of Coyotes living in the ravine behind me. This week alone I have managed to SSS five of them, well four excluding the strange acting one the city picked up to test for rabies. This morning I was on my back porch inhaling my cancer...

I finished making sure everyone had food and water, and went in to feed myself. No sooner than I sat down with my food I started hearing pathetic ries from my goats, followed by screams from the chickens. I thought they were fighting over the apples until I realized that those were save me...

I just got two more aussie chicks, the little roo has a blue/purple sheen instead of the green and I just noticed he has a rose comb... As soon as I get the bugger caught again (hes off scratching by the horses) I will get a picture. Until then, heres a good description... Body of a cornish...

I ordered the end of the day special from Ideal Poultry and have only figured out a few of the breeds sent to me. One that I DONT have pictured is a black legged, solid black pullet with what seems to be a rose comb. She's got the shape of a black leghorn, but has a rose comb? Oh, and I have one...

A little back story for anyone who doesn't know Trixie... She's not exactly the friendliest of dogs(shes trained to protect me and anything that's mine and is a known biter when she feels I've been threatened in any way) but is containable by the sound of my voice. She has a recall, this was a...

I've had this puppy off and on since I rescued him in January. When I got him he was a mangy, wormy, half dead dog. He had no hair, except for a blue patch on his back. We named him Blue, and his litter mate Queenie. They were found on the side of the road when they were barely four weeks old. I...

I just got the phone call from the p.o. My chiks from Ideal have arrived!!! I'm heading to pick them up. So exciting. I ordered 35 assorted and 5 guineas I hope everyones okay.

Yesterday evening the ducks were playing in the water overflowing from the horses water trough, and since they were having so much fun I left the hose on for a few more minutes to give them a puddle. Mama, my mustang, came up for a drink and my tb filly was already there. Chong got in between...

Well after the rescue of my neighbors chickens (total count was 40 for anyone who remembers), I managed to rehome about half of that flock. My own personal/keeper flock at the moment has been dropped to 67 from 99 after the extras left from the rescue. So... 99-67=32 birds gone. I decided I...
