    The steps of rabbit breeding

    I am completely new to owning rabbits. Can a buck and two does live in the same enclosure and get along? what are their staple feed diets? Can they free range like chickens or do they tend to they run away and never return like quail? Also, how cold-hardy are they? I live in northern Virginia...

    Coyotes

    try muscovies and Toulouse geese for hawk/owl defense. if you got a lot of land then go for emus. They instinctually attack predatory animal and seemingly do well with herbivorous animals.

    free range birds excluding chickens/ducks/turkeys

    I assumed they were ducks too, but then I did a bit more research.. - Gray (1958) lists muscovy hybrids with bar-headed geese, swan geese, snow goose, Canda goose, and spur-winged goose. - they can also breed with Mallards and have mule offspring. - "It is actually in the Shelduck family and...

    free range birds excluding chickens/ducks/turkeys

    List of the free range birds I know ("free range" meaning they stay put at your yard instead of going wild and never returning. Some of these birds even come back to their coop whilst others prefer a tree to roost on each night. some may wander but they always come back at night): chickens...

    pigeons not breeding

    its been months ever since I had my three pigeons. None of them tried to mate or fight... They just sit still, eat, drink, fly to the top of the shed then come back and go back to staying still (that's their daily routine... no mating or courtship :( One is a confirmed male while one is a...

    Coturnix egg dilemma

    I put 10+ coturnix eggs into my incubator. Each egg has a story. Two are from my friend´s quail. The rest are from a Harris Teeter near me. I opened two of the store bought eggs - one had the bullsye while the other one didn´t. Some of the store bought eggs have an yellowish orange hue when...

    New khaki campbell issues

    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...

    What gender is my turkey

    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...

    broody mallards

    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...
