Okay so pair #1: Both produce normals or black white flighted babies. That's ALL they've ever produced for me... well to be fair they've only thrown me 6 babies but still 😂. It seems their one baby is turning white?? Like, not sure how to explain it (you'll see in the photos) (Pair 1) Baby's...

This is the pairs first squab, now I'm normally good at guessing what the squab will end up looking like but this little one has me so confused. Babies a dilute downed. So, mom has a whole bunch of colors, so babies took more for mom. Mom is recessive red, while dad pretty much just has feral...

I have a chick that seems sickly. She's all fluffed up and mostly sleepy. She's about 5 weeks old. They're already in a coop but they'res so many chicks I figured they would keep each other warm. Which has been going great. All survived 35 F a few days ago. I'm keeping her separate with another...

We're on day 18, and all but 7 eggs weren't fertile, (41/48), but we've had the humidity up at 55-65% the whole hatch, I've been gone and had someone else take care of them for me, and they told me the humidity has been up around 55-65 the whole time, so before they hatch is their anything I...

I bought this foal and his mama. Sire is either the chestnut they had or the black. Theyre not sure though. Opinions are appreciated. I was thinking a buckskin type color but not positive. His sister is a liver chestnut so is it lossible his color can go that? What color do you think he can grow...

Their has been this blue heron coming to my place for the past 5 years, I have a creek here he enjoys. He has always traveled for the winter, and only comes for the summer, but this time he came today... He looked freezing, sick, and in horrible shape. Might I mention it's also 15 degrees F...

I'm looking to hatch ducks in spring, but I'd like to know if my drake is mating her. The breeds are: Mallard hen (She's a runt so she's very small) And a Pekin drake. She tries to get him to mate her but he never does, at least, not what I can tell from. I found this article and found it...

Need suggestions with helping him get better. He had horrible bumble in both feet, had some triple antibiotic cream and rapped it up. I know, Epsom salt bath, bandage feet to prevent more infections. @Miss Lydia suggested oral antibiotics, so I'm looking for suggestions on what to use and the...

Someone said this to me. I mentioned any mean roosters I got would end up in the freezer and she said "You should be vegan because you own living animals, you say you love them but you only love them for the meat". I'd rather eat my happy animals than unhappy chickens in the grocery stores.. (I...

Hi, I have 3 guineas I keep with the chickens. When I brought home my first guineas I noticed hey had some feathers missing, some with barely any tail feathers then their was my male.. I thought it was a female but I think I may be wrong.. anyways I have 1 female and 2 males that ALWAYS get...

This morning I went outside to let the chickens outside, 3 stayed in because it was snowy and the other 13 went out. When I went up to check on them, one of my RIR mixed with bantam starting doing the egg song along with squatting, just not in the nest box. Her comb isn't very red but it is...

I'm looking for a long living breed, well egg production (if they lay, I read they do) And good personality. I want 50 quail, mostly for pets but also to have for enjoyment, I find them entertaining and such sweet birds. I want to build a run this winter and get them whenever I can.. maybe a...

Hello, I see many forums and article on these winter topics but I have a few questions of my own!! How do I prevent the ducks water from freezing? I have many water sources but my muscovies are lazy and don't bother in the water, my pekins still can't walk, and my mallard is way to small to get...

It fills up my mail... anyway I could cancel it?

OK, the months where everyone starts getting sick, where people (some) lose their chickens to the cold, and where people themselves are freezing! I myself have been going through a lot, my ducks who I got off craigslist were badly cared for (yes i brought them home I wouldn't just leave them...

I have to take her to the vet soon but she doesn't like people or other dogs... Can someone please help me? I don't know if it's a benign or not but she's had it for a year and had been infested with mites and fleas (she is being treated for but not much affect) can anyone help? She's an unfixed...

I have 4 (I think) Roosters! I have 3 chicken coops but I only have 2 chickens in the hen coop so I don't know If that's enough. I have 11 hens in another coop and 5 in another. All 3 'cockerels' (8 weeks) Are in the red/silkie coop (the coop with 5 hens) The cockerels were even supposed to be...

Quick questions for 2 of my roo's (That I know of) 1. My mature rooster (he just started crowing and I think around 4-5 months old) Is very friendly, but I have heard of people saying things like they use to be so sweet and then turned to devils! My rooster 'Cookie' loves eating from my hand...

This Sunday I'm picking up my new ducks, don't know their genders, just know I think one is a boy judging by the photo so you could leave N/A genders or just for any gender. I am bad with names for ducks because I have been through so many white ducks I just don't know what to name them anymore...
