I got a new 7-8 week old khaki campbell. She mixes well and is ok with my mallards and chickens, but my turkeys and guineas absolutely despise her. The campbell looks almost identical to the mallards but the turkeys somehow differentiate her and attack her instead of the other mallards. What...

Could you all please tell me when my birds will start laying? I live in Northern Virginia and the temperatures start to get cold at about September 22. Mallards (Were 2 days old on March 13) Rhode Island Reds (Were 2 days old on March 20) Bronze heritage turks (Were 4 weeks old on March 24)...

Yes, I know how to handfeed them at a young age. I only have cash available.

I got four heritage bronze poults and, just like yours, one of them was slightly bigger and had a bigger snood (pimple on the forehead). The other three were mostly similar-looking. Ended up with two toms and two hens. However, sometimes all poults look exactly the same and its impossible for...

looks like a male

I free-range my Mallards and they tend to stay wherever the chickens are. I have a drake and two hens. I clipped one of the hen's wings so that they all won't fly away (the male tends to stay where the females are). They stay near their pool, and next to the pool are two coops. One coop is...

I can give an update maybe after a week

She’s about 5 weeks old. the siblings have shown prominent traits. The two males have huge combs and they crow. The hen has a tiny comb and hen coloration (since she has natural Dutch patterning). This crele chicken has a medium sized comb and idk if it’s a girl or a boy.

Got 4 oegbs, 2 are confirmed roosters, 1 is a confirmed pullet, and this one here is unknown to me. what is the gender of this one? I hope I don’t end up with three roos and only one hen..

Its nesting season and an invasive songbird that is prized in Britain because of its speech ability (can mimic noises, sing, and talk). However, they nest in high locations in my area and they are difficult to get. If you guys have any starling neighbors that you don't want nesting there (they...

no she looks like a girl

It all depends on the amount of space given and the ratio of males/females in your flock. with a ratio of 1:1 guineafowl, the males will certainly attack your chickens. But given a ratio of 1:5 and a few roosters in your chicken flock, and that you have enough space (quarter of an acre)...

not all males will accept more than one female, but in their flocks (naturally in the wild) there are normally more females than males. Some males desire to have more than one mate, and the flock needs to be ready for that. If they don't have enough females for those males that desire more...

ratio for guineafowl should be 1 male for 4-5 females. male guineafowl can get pretty aggressive and their tick-eating beaks can cause some damage. males fight until one backs down to establish a pecking order. too many males, especially when raised amongst roosters, may encourage more and...

The reward is owning guineafowl. Given that there is enough land for the birds to run, fights are tiny and shouldn't be much of a problem. If the birds are all in a pen together, then brutal fighting may occur. The breed of chicken also matters. I have RIRs that get big and can hold themselves...

wild turkey hens sometimes share parenting babies, and two hens can be seen taking care of a mixed clutch of poults.

whatever u do don't go next to a broody turkey hen without goggles

Was the stuffing fabric or was it beads? give your bird tons of water, peas and take it to the vet.

Im in Virginia? How much per baby and are they sexed?

Looks like a hen. Does she quack or does she have a raspy voice is her tail curled. If she has a raspy voice and a curled tail then she is male.
