I have two Cayuga ducks, they are 8 weeks old. I know what the male and female ducks sound like, I've had several ducks before. I'm sure these are two boys, but I'd like another opinion on if it's a pair or two males. Thanks sooo much!! One makes a more lower raspy sound, the other kinda low but...
I got some eggs from my great grandmother and she has hens that lay olive colored eggs. I hatched out two chicks from the light olive eggs. My question is, if in the picture the eggs that they hatched from is this light olive color, and the rooster that is with her hens is a massive black...
I'm experiencing a problem during this breeding season... I've encountered significant losses with my eggs in the incubator, and I can't identify a clear cause for this issue. I had a total of over 20 eggs from two different pairs, but only 7 of them successfully hatched. Most of the remaining...

I've been a long time chicken mom (15+ years) and recently I've been looking into getting some of the rarer breeds such as seramas (got some eggs on the way!), ayam cemani, and dong tao just to name a few. I found an online hatchery that sells the dong taos and they seem to be the cheapest...
I have a few goose eggs incubating and they started pipping yesterday morning. One of them opened up their shell by about a half inch by one inch "window" then stopped, another one pipped a little bit and another hatched already. There's a fourth egg with movement inside it but no external...

Hello hatchers,
I am currently on day 16 with a batch of chicken eggs. I candled last night and saw good development and movement in most, but almost every single one had a very small, nonexistent, or abnormally placed air sac. They were shipped, but I let them sit for about 36 hours before...
I've had this rooster for a long time now, and the person that I got him from said he was a warhorse. Now I'm going back and forth, is he a warhorse or is he a Black Roundhead? Any ideas that could help?? Thanks so much for taking the time to help!
Hello!
My sister has had a gosling for about a week, and it's housed with the chicks, while they're all the same age. However, there's a problem.
The gosling has begun grabbing at the chicks wings, and pulling, like it's food. The chicks usually end up screaming, but no blood.. yet.
It's...
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, I didn't know where to post this question. Does anyone have a good idea on how much I should price my hatching eggs? The rooster is American Game Fowl Copper Maran Cross. The hens are Buff Orp, RIR, Barred Rock, Black Australorp, Isa Brown, buff Orp/Lav...

I just bought my newest chickens Raven & Oreo both seramas, not sure of their ages but I’m worried that Oreo may have Merriks or something else. She has droopy wings, she’s loosing her balance, if I pick her up then put her back down she will just sit or lay down, and she can’t balance on my...
I just have a question about the GSB. Do they feather quickly? I know they both have female feathering, but I wanted to know if the females or males feather out quicker?
I have about 10 or so of them, and some already have tail feathers and more wing feathers than the other ones. Some don't...
Hey there,
We just picked up a 7 week old silkie. I am aware of the breeds propensity for hiding their gender until the last possible moment. However, I am worried our little one is showing roo tendencies (loud, standing tall, seems to have streaking top feathers) and we cannot have Roos here...
My 1 year old silver laced polish rooster got wry neck in early december, not long after his brother died on Pneumonia. He tuckes his head under his body and only on his right side. He is eating and drinking on his own, and will ge up to walk from one end of his temperary housing to the other to...
