Hey y'all!
It's me again. LOL. Of course I have another question. This time it is regarding our pond that we built for our ducks. We only have 5 ducks, but MANNNNNNNN! THEY SURE DO KEEP IT MESSY, and I fully aware that with ducks/geese/chickens/etc, it's pretty much a never-ending story...
Hey Y'all!
So.......as many of you may know (well, all my fellow Georgias LOL), down here in south georgia, soon the catalpa worms will be coming out and I was hoping to be able to give my gosling some. I am aware that some things that are safe for chickens to eat, might not be the same case...
Good Morning Y'all,
So, I'm surely not an expert, but when one of my babies gets sick or injured, I try to do some research and figure out what may be going on, and after searching online, I'm pretty sure my Cayuga Drake,"Pretty Boy", may have a case of Angel Wing. I have attached a picture...
Hey Y'all,
So, I've got a chicken that seems to have a pretty bad case of coryza? She's got a bad case of swelling around her right eye, other eye is fine. The right eye, is pretty much swelled shut, with some discharge. I have given her a mix of different natural herbs that I've read is...
Okay y'all,
So I had one gosling hatch out (tomorrow he/she will be 3 weeks old). Well, I'm pretty sure this adorable little angel has imprinted on me, which is fine by me. My question is this: He/she is doing the typical curious gosling behavior of nibbling/biting on fingers, clothes, etc...
Hey y’all! I’m so excited! My goose finally hatched. My question is about first initial food. I have some 22% Duck all life stages crumble food by Dumor that I bought from TSC awhile back. It says it’s fine to give to all ages, has 22% protein and niacin. Is this safe to give to a freshly...
Hey y'all,
Well, I have decided to incubate my very first goose egg. It was one I found in the nest, but no clue how long it's been there or how long it was incubated by the hen. I did candle it, and it looks like a solid dark mass that has filled up a majority of the egg except a small part...
Hey Y'all,
Last night I seen that there is something bad going on with various of my quail, with their feet and legs. I have attached picture for reference as to what exactly the problem looks like. Kind of like bloody blisters? I thought for a minute it might be bad case of scaly leg...
Ok y'all, I looked at some posts on the subject, but they were from 6-7 years ago, and let's face it...the prices that might've been good 2 years ago, may not be cost efficient for today's crazy expensive world, but..
What is a decent fair price to ask for my Georgia Giant Bobwhite Quail eggs...
Ok, y'all. I incubated (2) quail eggs, and only one made it. My question is: Can a baby quail imprint and then change his behavior that he was displaying prior to imprinting? I was the first thing this chick seen, and yesterday he/she wanted to be next to me, etc. It is in a brooder by...
Hey y'all!
I went to our local feed n seed today, and bought what the store told me was a "Gold Buff Orphington"chick.
I am wanting to know is a gold buff orphington the same thing as a buff orphington? Is there a difference, or is it just another name for a buff orphington?
Thank you...
Hey Y'All!
I have eggs incubating right now, currently at day #18, that are due to hatch by next week! (Valentine's Day Gift for your sweetheart!) 💕
They are barnyard mix, but some of the breeds in my coop are Satin Silkies, Lavender Orphingtons, Buff Orphington, Black Orphington, Mottled Gray...
Hey Y'All,
I have a Satin Silkie, "Tina T", at approximately 8.5 months old. She has started having some clear fluid discharge coming from her mouth, and has been doing some type of "honking" sound. Her crop feels empty. She has food and water in the crate that I have her quarantined in, but...
Hey y’all, I have what looks like a bad case of bumblefoot on my Pekin duck, so I did what the standard routine is, lukewarm Epsom salt bath soak for probably around 20-30 minutes, took her out and looked and she’s one severe bumble on her heel and other smaller bumbles on her toes same foot...
Hey Y'all! It's me again. 😆
Ok Y'all, I've got some duck questions. I went out back to my coop area like I always do (it was after dark by the time I could go out there), and I walked towards the back side of the coop, next to the gate. We have a front gate and one on the back side. While...
Hey y’all. I have a question. My chickens just started hatching about an hour ago, and y humidity was at 75. Well 2 of the 13 have hatched, and now my humidity is around 86. What is too high? It’s around 2 am here in south ga and I’ve gotta go to bed for work tomorrow. What can I do...
Hey y'all! Quick question: Does an incubator roll to the next day with the day counter, if you unplug the incubator and then plug it right back up?
The reason I ask, is because I put my eggs in the incubator later in the evening on November 12th. So I just counted the 13th as day one, beings...
Hey Y'all,
I have a few questions regarding hatching out some eggs of different breed chickens at the same time.
This is the type of eggs I currently am incubating in the same incubator, currently on day 5.
Satin Silkie eggs, from my Fancy❤️ (Picture Posted for Reference) (First time...
Hey Y'all!
Anyone up for a game of "Hen or Roo"? I recently bought some more fluffy butts, and I was told this is a Tolbunt Polish about 6 months old. However, I do not know whether this is a hen or rooster, since I've never had a Tolbunt. It does have muffs and beard if that helps. I...
Hey Y'all!
I recently bought some more fluffy butts, one being this one pictured here, a frizzle of some kind, and I was told it is around 6 months old. I don't know if it is a hen or rooster. I've read online that the roosters have longer tail feathers, are bigger in size, their combs and...
