    Broody Peahen

    My peahen is broody. She has been sitting on her eggs for three weeks which means if hatching is going to happen it is going to be soon. Does anyone know how peacocks deal with chicks? I am always in favor of hens raising there young but I don’t want them to be in danger from their father. Any...

    New Peachicks question

    I have a breeding pair of Peafowl. I hatched three eggs two are a nice fluffy yellow color and one is a gray/blue color. Peafowl are not supposed to be sexlinked so I am wondering what the color variation in the hatchlings might mean. The parents are the standard “Wild Type” Thank you for any...

    Generations to breed

    If I have two breeds of chickens and I really like the offspring of said hybrid. On average how many generations of cross breeding and then breeding the cross until I get a breed that is true?

    When your new ducks prefer the cat

    Nope. Not hungry just always where ever there is a heat lamp and she can get access. Also since she is a cat always supervised when near unprotected animals.

    When your new ducks prefer the cat

    My three legged cat has always been and will always be a heat lamp hog. Whenever there are chicks in the house under a heatlamp she always is there trying to work her way under it. Today when I went to change the bedding this is what happened.

    When is a cross now a breed?

    I am crossing two breeds. My question is when does a hybrid become a new breed? I know they have to breed “true” but even after that is there a generational moment when it becomes a new breed and not a cross?

    Rabbits and chickens

    Two New Zelands I have two New Zealand rabbits. They are living in a 10x10 dog run with an old chicken coop that would be good for three hens. They are a breeding pair I am going to use the offspring for income. Money from selling their young for pets and the babies we don’t sell will be used...

    What breed is this?

    Here are a couple more pics of him. My daughter told me the previous owners just didn’t want a Rooster. Come to find out they don’t mind roosters they just didn’t want him because he is a bad rooster. So I brought him home anyway and kept him separated from his future flock for the evening. This...

    Cockerel Issue

    I have a similar problem when my young man turned a certain age. He was in the process of really injuring a pullet. I separated him from all the pullets until they had been laying for a while and put him in with a group of hens called the Amazon’s formerly known as the mean girls. Two RIR and a...

    What breed is this?

    Okay I know it is a bad picture. My daughter’s friend has to get rid of a cockerel. It is a TSC special so they don’t know what it is either. If I get him he will be living with 8 Buff Brahma hens that are 14 months old.

    Female duck mounting drake?

    Mounting is a dominance thing. She was probably mad at him and making sure he knew it. Nothing to worry about

    In the brooder

    Put something they can see through but can’t get to each other and separate them for a few days. I would suggest hardware cloth or chicken wire. That way they can see each other and touch each other but not harm each other.

    My rooster keeps attacking me

    How old are the other Roosters? If they are young and just starting to do rooster things he maybe trying to assert dominance on everything in sight. If you really like your rooster I would separate all the other roosters into a bachelor pen and see if he calms down to his usual self. If that...

    Feeding a Mixed Flock

    The hens will eat what they need. I have a flock with a rooster as well. The rooster is there to keep the ladies safe. I have no plans to raise his young as they would be barnyard mixes. The girls eat the oyster shells as they desire. Chickens are much better at eating what they need and not...
