    Rooster very sick, bumblefoot complications

    Another good update about Goose! It seems the flesh around where the necrotic tissue stopped and fell off is starting to heal very well! New, pink, and healthy, and it looks like it's beginning to grow down very slowly. Looking at probably 10-15 weeks of recovery by our estimate before he's...

    Rooster very sick, bumblefoot complications

    Thank you for this! We have never done this before (obviously) so I wasn't sure when to do it or if I should at all. We will at the next bandaging we do!

    Rooster very sick, bumblefoot complications

    Update on Goose: This morning, his foot is just barely hanging on, but we are not going to pull it off just yet, as there is still some flesh keeping it connected. He was mighty unhappy about his bath and seems to be in good spirits, despite being VERY MAD at us. We debrided and betadine'd his...

    Thank you so much for all the help you've given us! With luck, we'll have a success story with Goose like Matilda had. We will keep you updated!

    Rooster very sick, bumblefoot complications

    Worm has been giving updates in here about our sweet boy, Goose, but this is not a happy update. Thank you all for your help so far, but we're afraid we might lose him with this new development. New and very scary update on Goose— he is self amputating and the bone in his lower leg is exposed...

    Unexpected color on chick

    This is our very yellow girl, though the camera makes her look a lot more orange/red than she is. She's a lot more yellow in person.

    Unexpected color on chick

    A melanistic chick, we know the parents were the ayam cross and a mixed hen of undetermined origin who also had some melanism going on (she's black with a gold neck and faint coloring on some of her feathers). This pattern below here is interesting! He's one of the Brahma crosses. The other...

    What are Your Go-To Recipes for Using Up Eggs?

    Lemon curd is my go-to! Very very easy, though a little tedious. Basically, measurements don't really matter. Gather a bunch of egg yolks, a good cup or two of sugar (depending on the amount of egg yolks, you want it kind of paste-y), then add a half cup to a cup of lemon juice (until it's a...

    Duck egg incubation question

    We've been turning them twice a day religiously, as well as misting them. This worked perfectly for our last batch and I'm just very confused about this one egg. June 6th is our first hatch day (since ducks sometimes take a bit longer and all) so we are on day 18-19 (it's midnight here). We are...

    Duck egg incubation question

    We noticed tonight during candling that one egg seems to be stuck to the membrane or have some sort of issue with the veins. It almost seems like there may be blood inside the egg. If anyone has any info on what this could be, I'd love to hear it. Should we remove the egg? Hope it hatches? The...

    Duck hatching eggs for sale

    We have Pekins and Campbells here, and we have both pure Pekin hatching eggs and Pekin/Campbell cross hatching eggs (we know the difference due to the sizes). I've collected six of the pure Pekin fertile eggs so far, and we have hatched three crossbreed ducklings so far. We have a Pekin drake...
