I bought 3 of these pigeons today and I’m wondering what breed they are. They all have feathered feet 2 of them are crested.

What colors are my button quail and are they male or female? This first one is very dark almost black.

In my latest hatch I got a couple new colors. The one on the right I’m pretty sure is Grau fee but I got a couple others with a reddish tint. Is this scarlet fee? I have hatched a few scarlets recently but these new ones look really diluted.

I had a lot of quail chicks hatch the past couple days and I seem to have several new colors. Any ideas on what colors I have?

Is my silkie a cockerel or a pullet? At first I was leaning towards male but now I’m thinking hen. It’s almost 18 weeks old and its comb hasn’t really grown at all.

I got this rooster in a order of Silver Laced Wyandotte’s from Hoover’s. It looked completely different from the Wyandotte’s as a chick, it looked just like a Welsummer chick but it had a rose comb. It’s around 12 weeks old right now and it has new feathers coming in with a strange pattern. What...

Has anyone on here ever successfully hatched a twin egg? From what I’ve read it seems very rare for them survive. I currently have twin ducks and it is now day 9 of incubation. So far they seem to be doing okay maybe a little bit behind in development compared to my other eggs. To be honest...

My duck eggs are currently on day 23 and the past 24 hours they have been rolling around in the incubator and now I’m starting to see shadows in their air cells. I’m not sure if any have internally pipped yet but it looks like they are trying to. Should I go ahead and lock down now on day 23?

My duck eggs are on day 18 in the incubator and I noticed when candling last night that this one was getting dark spots. What are they? Is it a bacteria infection? The embryo is definitely still alive but I’m worried whatever it is will spread to the other eggs.

This is an egg from my Broad breasted white turkey. She has been laying eggs the past couple weeks and I was assuming that they would be unfertilized because my male turkey died a few months ago. Plus I have read that they may not be able to breed naturally anyway. I went ahead and put her eggs...
