I’m hoping since they are seperate from everything it won’t have really passed on. I’m thinking I should cull and get more poults from somebody else.

What bird I’m showing? I didn’t post a picture.

I recently purchased 4 turkey poults. A day after getting them one got a runny nose and one eye was running a little. I immediately culled this bird because I have a small breeding farm and I don’t do antibiotics. Should I continue to raise the other 3 as long as they don’t show signs or should...

I think she’s a gold sex link

We’d really need pictures to tell

I’m leaning towards cockerel. The head feathers are pointy and the crest on a pullet should be nice and round by that age.

Hey everybody I just want to introduce our farm, and myself. I’ve been a member of backyard chickens for as long as I can remember. This is a wonderful community of backyard chicken raisers. My name is Tyler Crosby, me, my Wife, and 2 sons have started a poultry preservation/breeding farm here...

I recently purchased a used dickeys incubator and everything is working great except the automatic turner. The egg turner will move the trays fine in manual mode. But when I flip the switch to automatic it just moves the turner to the right one time and doesn’t turn them anymore. Is this...

I know there is people out there who make their living off of their farm. I’ve always wanted to be able to make my living with my birds, other animals, and forms of hobby farming. I would like to know any tips and tricks y’all might have for doing this successfully. I know it will take time to...

Hello everyone I am looking to get back into chickens later this year. I’m looking for breeders of exhibition type white rocks and barred rocks. Need someone willing to ship to South Georgia. Not just wanting 5 or 6 chicks, looking to buy atleast 20 of each variety if not more. Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone I havnt posted in a while but I have been busy building my career. But one of my true passions is breeding birds. I got out of it last summer and I am looking to get back into it this spring. I will be gone about 4 days a week and home 3. I am looking for some ideas on how to keep...

Alright y’all so we are gonna sell all our current breeds and start over with one breed. We are expecting our first child in August so we are gonna simplify our breeding program. I am very interested in the American heritage breeds. I’ve got a few in mind, but I need help deciding which one. I...

I just purchased an old style gqf 1202 incubator. My egg turner isn’t working because a rat chewed the wires. Could I replace it with a 1500 style turner motor?

Closest thing I can think of is a double silver laced barnevelder. Picture is not mine.

They will be and word of advice. They should lay blue and they will still be Easter eggers.

Hey everybody it’s been a while since I have posted anything here. A couple months ago I made a thread about my Easter egger project. I just wanted to give a little update. We have been hatching like crazy in my little styrofoam incubator that my beautiful wife bought me. I don’t think it’s...

my birds are very important to me. I may just be stubborn but I don’t believe they really have anything going on with them. No I wouldn’t knowingly sell someone a sick bird but I do believe the chicks I have are healthy . If anyone ask about sickness etc. I will tell them exactly what I am...

These are not the birds that were carriers those were culled. These birds that I have now have not been exposed to anything that ik of. I called a vet and they said it was more than likely just the flies. So I don’t see a reason in getting rid of my whole flock. I am going to cull the two birds...

We all know that sickness and disease is part of raising birds. Everything from MG to Fowl pox. So what about managing it? I am a breeder, and I do sell stock. So I was wondering what everyone else’s thoughts were on this. I want to sell the healthiest most viable birds I can. So some of my...

They will be black but split to lavender. So when the f1s are bred back to lavender it will produce lavender. Self- blue and lavender are the same thing so there is no splash and black offspring like with the BBS gene.
