I can give an update maybe after a week

She’s about 5 weeks old. the siblings have shown prominent traits. The two males have huge combs and they crow. The hen has a tiny comb and hen coloration (since she has natural Dutch patterning). This crele chicken has a medium sized comb and idk if it’s a girl or a boy.

Got 4 oegbs, 2 are confirmed roosters, 1 is a confirmed pullet, and this one here is unknown to me. what is the gender of this one? I hope I don’t end up with three roos and only one hen..

Its nesting season and an invasive songbird that is prized in Britain because of its speech ability (can mimic noises, sing, and talk). However, they nest in high locations in my area and they are difficult to get. If you guys have any starling neighbors that you don't want nesting there (they...

no she looks like a girl

It all depends on the amount of space given and the ratio of males/females in your flock. with a ratio of 1:1 guineafowl, the males will certainly attack your chickens. But given a ratio of 1:5 and a few roosters in your chicken flock, and that you have enough space (quarter of an acre)...

not all males will accept more than one female, but in their flocks (naturally in the wild) there are normally more females than males. Some males desire to have more than one mate, and the flock needs to be ready for that. If they don't have enough females for those males that desire more...

ratio for guineafowl should be 1 male for 4-5 females. male guineafowl can get pretty aggressive and their tick-eating beaks can cause some damage. males fight until one backs down to establish a pecking order. too many males, especially when raised amongst roosters, may encourage more and...

The reward is owning guineafowl. Given that there is enough land for the birds to run, fights are tiny and shouldn't be much of a problem. If the birds are all in a pen together, then brutal fighting may occur. The breed of chicken also matters. I have RIRs that get big and can hold themselves...

wild turkey hens sometimes share parenting babies, and two hens can be seen taking care of a mixed clutch of poults.

whatever u do don't go next to a broody turkey hen without goggles

Was the stuffing fabric or was it beads? give your bird tons of water, peas and take it to the vet.

Im in Virginia? How much per baby and are they sexed?

Looks like a hen. Does she quack or does she have a raspy voice is her tail curled. If she has a raspy voice and a curled tail then she is male.

Hi, I faced a similar issue, but then I learned about something called the immune system and how adaptable it is. After learning about it, I always handle my chickens often and raise my babies outside in the dirt since day 1. Imagine this: A human baby lives in a glass bubble, being fed the...

@Silkiebegins I really want to get silkies next. how do you deal with the feather-growth that grows over their heads and covers their eyes? Also, do they get muddy and dirty in wet climates? how do they do in the rain?

my bantams were fine with quail! They have somewhat different feed requirements, but a higher protein all-flock feed should be fine for both to share. I bet he needs some buff Orpingtons, they are like big fluffy golden retriever chickens. They do devour your feed costs, but its worth it since...

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂😂😂 * meanwhile my oegb roosters try to kill each other every minute

bantams are my favorite chickens. They have such a personality and are more active than dual-purpose hens. given that, most are strong fliers and may want to roost in trees. My oegb bantams could fly already at their first week, and regularly fly every time I let them out of their coop. Bantams...

They should be able to stay together until the breeding age comes in. What type of geese are they. Depending on the species and amount of space you have, you could keep them together. If they are free ranged or at least have half an acre it should be fine. If they are in pens or aviaries...
