🥚THIS IS THE YEAR!🥚
I'm going to build a self serve egg stand at the end of my driveway. I'm pretty sure I know what I want but would love to see pictures of other stands! Show me what you have! ❤️👍
I hatched this chick last month he is from a Olive Egger mother (Ameraucana X BCM) and a Welsummer father.
His mother has the modified pea comb and he had what looked like a straight comb until about a week or two old it started developing this circle at the back of his comb.
I'm so...
Hey everyone, so here's the scoop. I was trying out a different cross for Olive Eggers, for the first time, using a CCL hen with a BCM roo. However I mixed them up with my pure BCM chicks.
My questions are: Do the CCL X BCM Olive Eggers get a crest like their mother? So as they mature I'd be...
This is a shot in the dark, but I'm trying to help my friend out. Unfortunately I don't know everything that's going on just what's she's told me but here it is!
Her flock is a year old, 16 hens 1 rooster. The last couple days she's been worried about their watery poop, I believe that's the...
Just wanted someone who has a bit of experience identifying Wheaten vs Blue Wheaten. I ordered a dozen fertile eggs and hatched them. One of my little cockerels is alot lighter than the other and I was curious if this means he's a blue wheaten or if there is sometimes lighter shades still within...
So I'm pretty sure I have a blind chick.. got her from a local breeder in May. She is a super blue egg layer, but unfortunately I don't know the exact mix the breeder used. Almost 2 months old (my best guess) and was acting weird this week, like was distant from the other chicks alot.. just...
Doing some spring coop maintenance and noticed I had a hen that could use a nail trim. I picked her up and walked inside to get the trimmers. Then all of the sudden I had egg yolk running down my leg!! What the heck, I thought! Freaked me out a bit. I thought she had an egg stuck or something...
I'm going to make this short, I found a dead wild duck in my yard and the breasts were completely eaten and gone.
At first I thought my dog must have gotten this duck but after seeing it eaten I'm just not sure. Two years ago he got one of my chickens and play trampled it to death but didnt...
I asked this in another thread but it never got answered: I need advice! I have a dozen chickens with a roo, and two ducks one male one female. They were all raised together. They are all around 14 weeks. I'm just worried about; 1) that the female mallard is getting too much attention from the...
Has anyone else experienced this? I ended up getting two ducklings when I got my chicks. Now they are 10 and 11 weeks old and my chickens seem to act peculiar.... not like any chickens I've ever raised. They don't want to roost at night but just want to sit in a pile on the coop floor. Also it...
My friend is giving me her little roo, he's a black sex link and I wanted to get him some hens his age. What hens would make pretty mixes with him as the dad?
If you have any suggestions and even better pictures for me to check out!
Please help! I'm looking for bearded silkie hens, I had one white that just passed and now her buff buddy is lonely!!! I'm hoping to find some close by but if your willing to ship I can go that rout! I would like at least two hopefully around 6 mo. to a year in age!!! If you know of any or are...
I need a newfoundland, and im currently searching for a good breeder one who does all the right health screenings. I need your help, tell me where you got your dogs and the experience you had. Also how your dog is.... other than amazing ;) and feel free to include pictures. I live in ID...

...and i thought she had Coccidisos but after todays searching I'm less sure
Please help me I'm at a loss! (my husband doesn't want to pay for a chicken to go to the vet!)
*I thought I'd add that I don't think she has layed any eggs yet
And i like to skim things so i put important symptoms...
Here is some background: My 3 laying hens are almost 3 years old, and I've been introducing 3 baby chicks that are 7 weeks old. they live separately but the chicks I will put into a wire cage in the yard while the hens are free ranging and let them check each other out.
Today I was out in the...
Yesterday my three, almost 6 week old chicks moved outside into the half way coop till the big coop is done! (I have three grown up hens they will eventually live with in the big coop) The chicks = one EE, two BO The hens = one BR, two Gold sex links and of course the Golden Retriever Koda...
If you buy a chick and the sign states Ameraucana/Americana What do you have? 50/50 Ameraucana or EE? I know that Americana with an "i" in it is not a real breed.... so what is it? Wrong spelling?
