These bumps have been present for a few weeks but are becoming bigger and spreading slowly. The young turkeys have been living with their hatch mates, which happen to be chicken chicks, in a grow-out coop and have not ranged at all with my adult flock. There are 2 other young turkeys with...
ISO any pure color of Modern Bantam hatching eggs to be shipped. Please respond with color availability and prices. Thanks so much. (Not sure why you have to enter a price on a 'wanted' ad).
A friend of mine purchased what she is calling chocolate guineas. I don't think they are, but didn't say anything to her unless I'm sure, which I'm not. What do you guys think?
I've only had pearl gray and lavender and this is my first year of having guinea and I think I like them better than my chickens. I just picked these little ones up yesterday, locally, for $1.50 each! Thanks for all your help on this one!
BOTH!
Two of my girls decided to go broody a few weeks ago. I do not need any more chickens or chicks, so I gave them 5 bronze turkey eggs from the incubator. I had humidity problems and lost all that were in the incubator, but the girls hatched all 5 of theirs. I'm going to let them raise...
These 2 pictures are posted on a local NC poultry and livestock swap page on Facebook. This particular poster has many photos on his FB page that all look really bad. In the pictures below, note that the chicks are in what looks like a 10 gallon aquarium, therefore the walls should be clear...
I had a pair of buttons, Silver male and normal wild type female. The female expired unexpectedly and the male cried for her and cried for her. She had 5 eggs in her nest, which she wasn't setting on, so I took her eggs and put them in the incubator in hopes of hatching a new female for him. I...

Dad brought me a 4 week old brown leghorn cockerel with a large crop. He has reportedly been flailing around and unable to stand. He is resistant to bend his legs at the knee and so by pushing outward, he continues to fall on his bum. His crop felt like there was a clump of...

Some folks try to use feather sexing on all chicks. However, it only applies to a select list of pure bred chickens. There are some mixed breed combinations that can make offspring that can be feather sexed as well, but genetics are not my...
This little diddle is a Speckled Sussex who is 4 weeks old. The age is absolute, as I always mark my calendar when I hatch or otherwise acquire new chicks. All hatch mates are growing and feathering normally. This one has very odd wing feathers. The primaries stick up and out. It has an...
Does anyone have experiences to share regarding a lone handi-quack? This little Rouen was an assisted hatch and has a bad leg that sticks out behind him. The leg has sensation and he uses it to scoot around, but he doesn't bend it at the knee area. I sold all of his hatch mates to the local feed...
Finally finished building my incubator, had it up and running for a week before I loaded it up. The front is a 1/4" glass pane sealed in with clear silicone. On the floor of the bator, in the 4 inch space under the bottom rack, there is an 11 x 28" piece of heat tape that maxs out at 92-93...
