I have multiple separate flocks and different bird species on my property. One flock recently had a confirmed outbreak of mycoplasma. None of the other coops have had any illness, the infected flock has a separate care taker and have all recovered. None died and illness was mild. All coops...

I got a few alohas 5-6 months ago and tried to pick all hens. One of them I've been watching closely for a while. It had no tail for the longest time. When it finally started getting tail feathers it also started to look roosterish. But it's tail is weird. This morning I isolated it on the...

I read somewhere on here that porcelain is lavender over Millie fluer and that oegb spangles are based on different genes....more about mottled then spangled. I was thinking I could breed my Isabel oegb to my spangles and get porcelain, then I read and thought I couldn't. I was out looking over...

We have rock squirrels here that burrow up into the coops. They love everything the chickens eat and an occasional egg. I have one coop that borders our neighbors land and I've been keeping the rock squirrels out with hardware cloth buried about a couple feet down under the entire floor of the...

Just wanted to share some info quick. Not sure if this is the best place to post this! I was reading that they sell mite predators in the UK and thought they sounded interesting. They're not available in the US yet by my understanding. Here's a link to them...

I've never had a duck lose the ability to walk, but I'm guessing this duck had niacin deficiency. Thought people might enjoy seeing how well they can recover. https://fb.watch/cJIon3LIJN/

I'm totally new to blue chickens and olandsk dwarfs and am trying to learn how to tell the difference between the blue, black and splash birds because the adults all look so much a like. So I isolated a blue roo and a blue hen and their first chicks have hatched. I think the three chicks here...

I had an order with Purely Poultry due to arrive today and spent an hour on the phone this morning trying to find where they were. Turned out USPS decided to send the chicks out for delivery instead of letting me pick them up. Needless to say, they arrived dead. 100% of the poor babies died...

I'm just starting with breeding banties for an actual project and I know I'm going to be drowning in birds at some point. I've always kept birds just for pleasure and was able to give away, trade or butcher any excess because I hatched few chicks. But with this project I'll have to hatch a lot...

Is their a difference between mottling and mille fleur? I don't see a gene specific for mille fleur. Is mille fleur created by the mottling gene with other genes effecting it or is just a name for mottled birds first bred in a specific area? Then...if you have birds that have mottling and you...

I was given some birds recently that I was told were lavender by someone I trust to know their colors. I'm totally new to the lavender color. I do know the birds breed true. I also know that these birds do have some darker greys and reds showing and I just finished reading that if it breeds true...

I got a flock of Olandsk Dwarf chickens from a good friend who passed. I know she showed these birds cause she talked about it and her frustrations with the breeds lack of recognition from the APA. She hoped that if enough people cared and wanted to show them, they could become a recognized...

I live in Arizona and have been breeding peas for several years now. Last year one of my pairings threw a few pale creamy babies. At first I thought, how did they produce cameos!, but as they grew I knew, nope, not cameo. I gave away the hen to a friend and kept the cock. Hes almost a year old...

I just got a little peachick tonight with a splayed leg and I've never worked with this before. I made a splint out of a cut up nerf bullet...they're basically a foam tube. I cut a length just big enough to go from the ankle to barely over the leg joint, then I opened the tube length wise and...

I have a wonderful neighbor thats been kind enough to share some of her pea babies with me, and I had a couple of questions. She's given me a lovely pair of babies that are from bs/sp crossings. Both are marked like paler versions of the ib chicks I've seen and both also have white wing...
