Another thing, their drinking bowl is stainless steel. Wouldn't the apple cider vinegar cause metal to get into the water?

Yes, she's able to have deep water from the bowl (2 gallons) or the pool (55 gallons) all the time exept in the coop at night. The vet is an option, it would be preferable to treat it at home though

Anyone know if this is benign?

8 month old female Call cross has had a whisle in breathing out of the nostrils for the past week approximately, and today noticed mucus blockage in nostrils and was breathing out of bill. Seems to be able to dislodge the dried mucus in water, but still has a whistle. Otherwise is perfectly...

I'm wondering if the rainbow color in platies can breed true. I always assumed they were a cross of red and blue, if that were the case, wouldn't they throw solid blue and solid red offspring when breeding Rainbow x Rainbow?

I purchased a bag of mana pro chick starter yesterday. I have before, but not smelled it specifically, but I smelled this batch, and it smells like a sweet smell. Otherwise looks normal. Safe to feed?

Because it was outside, as well as the pied markings and large talons, I'd say muscovy.

Definitely looks male to me, and the color of the legs as well as the mis-matched bars, suggests this is a Cuckoo Marans.

This is a male platy I picked up at a pet store a month or two ago, haven't seen one quite like it. There were some mixed bred looking platies in the same tank. Yellow obviously, but has blueish undertones, and a purple-blue irredecent on the tail, and the yellow itself is irredecent. The...

I've grown Tomatoes for my ducks, they go right up and pluck the fruit. I have a theory that because of their ultraviolet vision, they can tell when a green tomato is just about to begin ripening as they would eat some green ones, but noticeably ignore most of the others. Mine also like to eat...

From my experience, and read from others, Production reds aren't a healthy type.

I have a duck with dichromatic eyes. A lighter brown, with some blueish grey specs. Half Mallard and half Call, her sire is blue eyed, and the right eye has some brown in it. The mother and sibling have typical brown eyes.

Welsh harlequin are beautiful, and known to be great layers. They tend to tame easier than khakis too.

In summary, you would get only dark barred type chicks or not barred at all, the male and female crosses that are barred would be the same, essentially. But the blue gene can give you aboult half blue barred, but it would also effect males and females the same. Not sexlik-able for the first...

The thing is, when you cross breed with the barred gene, it isn't reliable as a sex link, because the barred gene(s) are on the sex chromosome Z, a fullbreed barred Plymouth rock, will have one if Pullet (ZW) and two if Cockerel (ZZ) but when you crossbreed, the roosters only have the potential...

Black bibbed, some will get white up on thier throat and face, some individuals only on the breast
