Hello, It's been a long while since I've been on here. Life has been busy as I'm sure everyone can relate. I just hatched out some turkey poults and I'm really not sure what color they are. Right now my adults are black(male and females) and royal palm(male). I did have a bronze male back...

Today is day 19 for my duck eggs. I’m familiar with chickens, turkeys, and guineas, but not ducks. I’m a little puzzled on this particular egg. It doesn’t look the same as the others. Lots of veining and there is slight movement. Is it normal for duck eggs to look sorta strange? This is the...

My husband has been thinking of buying me another incubator to keep up with my growing variety of birds I’m hatching. Right now I have Genesis 1588 and 1602n. Of those two I like the 1602n best. The temp can be a little tricky to get just right, but once you get it set it’s very consistent. The...

I saw a product in an incubator kit online that you use to add water to the incubator without opening it. Well it just so happens that I had everything on hand to make something just like it! So here is my extremely easy to use water adding device. Haha Condiment container, air line tubing...

Back in June we placed an order from the guinea farm. They booked up really fast for color specific orders! Leaving September the soonest they could fill our order. The 14th or 21st were our possible ship dates. The 14th came and went…. Then the evening of the 21st I received an email. They...

In the past month I’ve lost one male to fighting with another male. I didn’t see what happened, but the injuries indicate male on male fighting. One night I couldn’t find one of my white females. I looked everywhere for her and nothing. I assumed she was up the tree near the coop or out on a...

I think I just hatched my first royal purple keet! It’s not completely fluffed up yet, but it doesn’t look like my pied pearls, so I hope I’m right and not just seeing what I want to see🤣 Highly suspected royal purple.. complwhite wings and hopefully squiggly lines on head. Previous pied pearl...

I’d love some guesses or insight on what this duckling is. It was so tiny and sickly when I got it. It’s been three weeks now and it’s maybe doubled in size. A magpie ducking I got at the same time is the same size as this duckling. Yet you can see the two duckling drakes (I’d love guesses on...

While out taking some pictures of wild birds I spotted this raccoon out in the field. Not too far off there was a male and female guinea pair poking around in the field. The male guinea decided the raccoon wasn’t welcome and ran right up to it! Squawking the whole time, he chased it off. The...

Hello:) I’m new to geese and have two adorable little goslings. They were at the feed store in a mixed bin with ducks. We also got some ducks from the same bin, so everyone has a buddy. But..... I’m not a 100% sure what everyone is. At first I was really excited and thought those two where...

Yesterday I picked up a couple goslings and one duckling. The duckling we got because we felt bad for it. We thought it only had one eye because it was holding the other shut the whole time. Since coming home I’ve been wiping it with a warm cloth, rinsing with saline, and applying Neosporin. Is...

Little story. The other day my husband and I were sitting by the pond just relaxing and chatting. I noticed a couple guineas fly in from the field, but that wasn’t too odd. I didn’t think much of it. My males are often chasing each other right now. A moment later I see what I first thought was...

I thought it would be fun to see what’s the youngest people have see their turkeys strut? Last year my two poults that turned out to be males starting strutting at 4wks old. Royal palm, Beep-Beep. This little one started under 2wks old. Store had him marked as artisan gold. I say “him” but...

My chicks and poults from cackle arrived this morning! One polish chick was pretty sluggish and not looking great(extra chick) but perked right up after warming up. Lakenvelder Buff laced polish Silver laced polish French black tailed red marans Sadly one female marans had webbed toes on both...

Ugh....I forgot to candle my eggs before incubating them. I just pulled a couple out last night to check them and saw this egg has cracks🤦‍♀️ Air cell looks a bit big for only being on day 2 as well so I’m sure it’s lost moisture because of the cracks and time spent waiting to be incubated. Ive...

This will be my first year with ducks and I have some questions. I already have a koi pond and just setup a separate duck pond. Now I know ducks eat fish, but just little fish....right? I’m sure the ducks will eventually come visit the koi pond despite having their own, so what size fish are...

I’m so excited to start hatching keets! I have a few going in the incubator and candled a couple of the lighter ones this morning. I have two developing for sure😁 Im nearly positive these are from my standard guineas. I’m beyond excited to see what they will look like. Though I think I’ll be...

Hey everyone🙂 We were planning on getting ducks next year(ancona) but of course as it usually happens we got a couple(pekin) a couple weeks ago🙈 They were the last two at the store. We will still plan to add a couple anconas and only keep 4 ducks total. I spent the day yesterday clearing out...

I was so over joyed to find what I believed was my first turkey egg of the season! But joy quickly turned to sadness when I candled the egg. It looks like it was incubated for a while and has died? It’s very sloshy. Only two situations seem to make sense to me. Either it’s a guinea egg left over...

On a few of our nice days I had time to sit out with the birds. I’m seeing more pairing and mating but still waiting on eggs..... I swear they know I’m getting impatient 😝 The pearls I was so excited to get some pictures of one guinea grooming the other. I wanted to get video, but by the time...
