fowl

I am planning on having a variety of different poultry/fowl and I want to work up from the simplest to the more complicated species. At the moment I only have chickens. I want to go one species at a time and get those established and feel like I have a grip on their care and then start with...

This is a thread for all of us unlucky people who have yet to have a broody, or a broody successfully hatch out babies so that we don't annoy all of you normies with our constant complaining on the matter. You can each keep a record of how long you've been waiting for a broody (if you've ever...

I thought it was just a stained but after so many observations and studies, I discover it is a disease which I don't know the type. It's two broilers(fowls) and 3 turkeys but a turkey died 5 days ago without any signs. Please, what can I do to save them. The pictures are attached.

What do you see?

How’s was your experience with ordering fowl from McMurray? How was their customer service? We’re there any DOAs? How are the birds that you ordered doing now? How is there egg laying? Would you recommend/buy again? Anything else you’d like to add! I’m looking for reviews on all fowl, not just...

I went to check my guinea fowl coop this morning and found that 4 of my hens barely responded to my presence. The are very disoriented and have trouble walking, the worst of them cranes her neck inward severely when stressed (when I was handling her). The four hens are all last year's hatch and...

Sometimes a game between friends turns a little... fowl. Especially when the ball is discreetly switched with an egg!

My 4 month old chickens are being let out of the run under supervision. I opened the gate, picked a spot in the yard to sit, and watched! So much fun to watch them all explore and play! One of my lady spitzhaubens had a blast- I had a water bottle, and she came over and took the cap right out...

i wanted to say the ordinance link for our city is not working, but I was able to find it via Google search for Quincy, Il Code Book. But we had a duck in our yard that laid eggs 20 years ago as well as a neighbor who had several. This is the link I found...

I am hoping to get to everyone eventually post your babies!! Old, young, still here, or over the rainbow bridge. I will work at my own pace and this will be a fun past time! I have a thread here already for all my art where the final post of your art will be posted! Here are some examples of my...

Hello this is where I will be introducing each individual member of my flock and showing off the progress of their area that's going to be fenced, any houses built etc I will start off with a little at a time. Everyone will have at least three photos and any general info I have on them. This...

I experienced wet Pox last summer it was tragic. I looked it up and there is literally no cure but to try to boost their immune system. I thought it was canker at first but there was yellow balls of plaque strewn down yhe back of their throat and chunks growing in their air holes. We pulled the...

Many of us know that keeping fowl brings predators to our property and they will kill a few or all of them. There are both daytime and nighttime predators so you will need to secure your yard enough that both can't kill your flock. Many of our members will tell you how they protected their...

Hi all :) I'm trying to get a list together... If you know any good breeders, poultry farms, hatcheries physically located in these areas that are NPIP (or close to them), please add the info on this thread...

Hi! I have a single male fowl by the name of Junior living with my brood of chickens (8 hens + one rooster + one Jr.) right now. Recently, Junior got an eye infection from either coming into contact with something dirty or from being pecked at by the rooster, we're not too sure, and while we...
