Hi all!
I recently purchased a trio of blue australorps and hatched some eggs from them and just recently realised I've gotten a few pure white australorps from that? Did they have white in the line? And If I breed them will I get all white or a mix?
Some splash australorps have a lot of white...
Hi all! I have 4 australorp chicks, 1 splash and one blue about 2 weeks old and 2 blues about a week old and was wondering if they could be sexed by their tail feathers at this age?
The 2 older ones have only now just started getting some tail feathers and one 1 week old blue already has some...
He is breathing with his mouth open and making gurgling noises, not eating much, his eyes are a bit swollen and his comb is dark purple
Some other chickens are sneezing and gurgling a bit now too but not as bad
In my flock I noticed a hen and rooster are puffed up, their tails facing down, a gurgling nose when they breathe and the roosters comb is getting darker
And the rooster has like a caramel poop colour
What could this be?
Will post pics soon
I have a baby quail that I picked up and when I was holding it, it started gasping and it kept gasping until it went limp and shut its eyes while still gasping and it had liquid in its mouth, I didn't know what to do and I was stressing so I used a syring to suck out the liquid and it woke up...
I have 2 week old chicks and I've been putting them outside since they were 8 days old when I feel it's warm enough, I put them outside at 13 degrees c (55 degrees Fahrenheit) and they all stayed in the shade.
How much cooler do you think they'd still be comfortable in?
Hi everyone
I have some chicks which are 10 days old now and I checked them this morning and I noticed one of them has a very small crop compared to the others, I fed her some scrambled egg and she had a bit to eat but all the others went crazy over it, her crop is half the size as theirs and...
Hi all!
I've just incubated some eggs and some externally pipped on day 20 and all except 1 hatched on day 21.
It's day 22 now and the only egg left has no internal pip, I candled it and there is lots of movement in the egg and thick veins
Is it normal to be so far behind?
Anyone else had this...
I have three 2 month old Chinese geese, that have their own little pool.
This happened about a week ago as well and again today so I'm thinking maybe over heating but it seems weird for it to be off balance, anyway one of them lost its balance and was flapping its wings falling over and calling...
Hi,
I have some Chinese geese and they were handled a lot and brought up around my dogs since they were 3 days old and started chasing my dogs away and biting them since they were only a week old. They were brought up around them and are now 2 months old and bite my dogs and make them yelp so I...
Hi, it's my first time incubating goose eggs and around day 25 one of them died, I opened it up and everything looked normal to me, what do you think caused it?
There's 2 that have hatched today at day 32 and another 2 that have externally pipped and 1 that's still alive but the air cell is...
Firstly I'm only a beginner at incubating eggs, so I have 2 Rhode Island Red eggs that didn't hatch and it's day 23 and I thought they were dead because there was no movement when I candled and no sound so I opened the eggs from the air cell side in case they were alive but didn't expect them to...
