I have been keeping poultry for years. And I have always had great success with everything I have tried to hatch out. Button quail, cotournix quail, bantam chickens, standard chickens, ducks, turkeys, and more. I only have 1 Rhode Island Red hen. She's in the same pen as the RIR rooster and 8...

Ok, so I bought a bonded pair of geese about 2 weeks after Easter. The geese (Lucy Goosey and Jeffrey) are about a year and a half old. I also have a pair of turkeys that I hatched out about 6 months ago. I kept the male (Stinkus) and one hen (Jennie O). I didn't have a properly sized pen to...

Ok, so we raise all different breeds of chicken here. I am pretty good at keeping all the chickens where I want them so that I make sure my chicks breed true. But today, one of my Ayam Cemani hens made her way into the Rhode Island Red pen. I'm not sure how long she had been in there but she was...

I was wondering if anyone knew what to do about my 1 year old Toulouse named Loosey Goosey. I have only had my geese since around Easter. Since that time, I have been feeding her and her gander freshly chopped grass, weeds, and vegetables every day. I didn't think there was any problem because...

We just got the power back after 3 hours of it being out in a storm. We have 3 Farm Innovators Pro series incubators and 1 Chinese incubator. What I noticed when the power came back on, the Chinese incubator was quick to come back to temperature fairly quickly. But the Farm Innovators were all...

I just bought 2 adult geese about a year old, male and female. I am housing them temporarily in a 5x10 pen while their paddock grows out. I planted a large space (roughly 40ftx40ft) with fescue, ryegrass, oats, barley, etc... I have been cutting grass and feeding it to them daily as well as...

I had 3 eggs out of 5 make it to lockdown. Today is supposed to be hatch day. One of the eggs pipped at the wrong end yesterday morning so I made a small hole in the membrane for it to be able to breathe. There was blood on the membrane. The baby got it's head out but was covered in blood and...

I am just wondering if anyone else has tried this mix before. I crossed my older RIR with my Silver laced Wyandottes to get my 6 Red Star Sexlinks. Then, when they started laying I put a younger RIR in with them. (I have several pens and coops so there's no inbreeding.)There are 5 eggs in...

I moved around one of my flocks about 2 to 3 months ago. One of the hens is bossy and doesn't take crap from any of the other chickens. I have noticed that when I go to close up the coop at night, she is always sleeping outside and whenever I put her in the coop, the rooster starts to bite her...

I have 19 laying hens of different breeds. Some are around 3 years old but I also have some that are one year old as well as a few pullets that should come into lay soon. All of my layers were egg a day girls until autumn came around. Production started to dwindle and now I get no eggs at all...
