    Hen or roo? Always second guessing.

    I have what I think are two young hens, (Buff Orphington+Barred Brahma about 6 wks old) but as worried as I am I'm always second guessing! We have one roo and no room for another, any guesses?

I recently lost my male Peking, Kevin and so now I only...

    Turkey perch ?

    I have purchased 15 turkeys that I plan to sell for meat . However I can’t seem to find a straight answer on wether they should be using perches/roosts . I read that these can lead to breast blisters? So if I plan to sell them for meat should they or shouldn’t they have a perch/roost?

    A Question (or two) About Alerts

    Hi! First, Admins, you're doing a GREAT job and I love you and obviously love BYC. Two things you could help me with: 1. When I'm going through my Alerts, I notice that some of them, not all, have tiny little yellow "sunshine" looking icons in them. They don't always go away after I click on...

    Duck or Drake

    Usually I'm able to tell the sex of a duck pretty easily but in this case I'm completely stumped. My duck (Lady Marble) Looks like a female but she doesn't quack like the other females but when she does quack it sounds like female. Im also confused because of the white collar around her neck...

    Confused about this pullet

    we had a broody who hatched this egg. It wasn’t hers, just a fertilized egg we got from the feed store. The egg was a greenish tealish blueish color, but this hopefully a girl looks just like a Barred Rock. Could she just be a mix?

    Hen Sitting on Eggs in Bad Spot

    So my hen decided to lay her eggs and sit in a horrible spot instead of the nesting boxes. We have this long storage table on our back porch, and she tucked herself away in the dark, dirty corner behind a chainsaw (it's in a case). This table is pretty high up, and we have a dog out there. He...
