I don’t think any of these factors is a for sure tell tale sign that a bird with lay blue eggs. Polish can have beards and muffs but lay white eggs. Breeds like buckeyes have pea combs but don’t lay blue eggs. Just because one characteristic of a breed carries over to an EE doesn’t necessarily...
last night his mouth was dry but his muff still appeared wet. He was eating so I didn’t want to try and feel his crop and have him stop eating. He was born in mid February and is not vaccinated for anything. There isn’t a ton of hpai in my area. All the other birds appear fine and he is still...
I think they mean that you shouldn’t add eggs in on separate days. It’s best if you put all you eggs in the incubator on one day. Then all the eggs are able to lock down together.
It’s possible he’s a sapphire gem however some of his feathers almost appear to be buff tinged. I don’t know if any breeds that match with the buff feathers. Hope you can get a more for sure answer
This is my Ameraucana cockerel. Yesterday it looked like he was trying to get something out of his throat. He had his mouth open and was shaking his head. The gnats are starting to get bad in our area so I summed it up to be related. I sprayed him with vanilla water to help. This morning I went...
I’ve never had a buttercup before but a hatchery accidentally threw her in with my order. I think that her feather pattern is coming along really nicely. Her hackle feathers and tail base are still growing in. I’m hoping to exhibit her at several shows this summer. Does anyone know if she is a...
I bought a couple mystery birds from valley hatchery earlier this year. I think this is a black breasted red jungle fowl which the hatchery does offer. I’m need to enter birds into the computer so I can show them in July and I wanted to make sure that the breed is accurate. Is there anybody who...
This is my 4 day old cream legbar pullet. When cleaning off her pasty butt yellowish liquid began oozing out. It hardened and is shown in the picture. She is otherwise acting normal. What happened and what can I do to help?
Maybe you're right that they're roosters. You need to wait, because depending on the native qualities, the bird changes and acquires at different times of maturation. -is what svetiks reply roughly translates to
In my experience leg size doesn’t really show much difference between genders in young chicks. Brahma chicks tend to have huge legs in general and some of my pullets had larger legs as chicks compared to the cockerels. Depending on how young they are you can try to see them based on wing sex...
I’ve been trying to find a polish breeder in the Midwest. I can’t find any breeder lists for polish. I don’t have any major preferences for colors, but I want the birds to be bred to the sop. I’m mainly looking for chicks but any polish would ok. Thanks in advance!
EE are a crossbreed so it may or may not develop a muff. Usually you can see the muffs pretty early on so it’s my guess that he won’t have a muff. He’s a super pretty bird.
