We have decided to add guineas to our ranch this year. Does anybody have any hatching guinea eggs to sell? Or keets? We are in Oklahoma near Pawnee. I would prefer to pick them up but I am not opposed to shipping.

Hi my BYC friends. So I’ve been a bit stumped on one chick I have. I’m thinking perhaps he’s a Cochin. I say he because from the git go this chick has acted like a rooster with his dominance, chest bumping with the silky roo. And unfortunately it seems from the first 4 bantams I picked out, 3...

I just got some new ducklings from Ideal hatchery. What breed do these look like? And are they gender identifiable? There are 4, two yellow with black frosting on head and tail, as well as a blackish streak right behind the eyes and pink bill with black tips fading into gray and mostly pinkish...

I have almost 15 acres and we have been told for years that we were part of the county. Today code enforcement came by and told me we are only allowed two of any kind of animal and have 10 days to rehome many of our chickens and one dog. We have had our dogs for 10 years long before living...

I noticed this morning that one roo had his eye closed, when further inspecting the flock I noticed more of them having foaming or bubbling liquid coming out of their eyes. I was recommended Terramycin, however my feed store only had Duramycin-10. I went ahead and purchased this and have put...

So I have an incubator that uses a wafer. Recently the heat element wasn't coming on right at the end of a hatch. Luckily, everybody had hatched and been moved to a brooder, but now I want to hatch more eggs that I just bought. Hmmmm, yeah I am addicted. Anyways, I took the wafer out and...

So I am thinking about building a spreadsheet calculator for genetics. I am still learning whenever I can about the genetics and different scenarios. I know there are suppose to be some calculators out there already, but I have a hard time understanding them or getting them to work. Anybody...

I am looking for some Cochin breeders. I recently lost my whole flock of Chickens, except a MF D'Uccle Rooster, Mr. Survivor as he has become known as. I had many cochins, but they were all the bantam variety. I recently got some standard Cochins, Golden Laced and am looking for more Standard...

Genetically, I am not sure how a Golden Laced Cochins are created. Is it something to do with a Red/Buff on a black or vice versa?

I am trying to understand some genetics. What are the different ways to create Mille Fleur? Also what are the genetic make up of Golden Laced? (mostly pertaining to cochins)

So I have been reading and reading trying to get a good grasp around genetics and colorations in chickens. I have learned that breeding two blues will result in some blues, blacks and splashes. Breeding two Blacks will result in all black. Breeding two Self-Blues will result in self-blues...

I am thinking of building coops for sale to those who may be interested. I am located near Tulsa Oklahoma for those who live nearby. I may even start a package with chickens included with small tractor coops for those in the city. I was laid off this last year so I am trying to get creative...

I picked up my chicks today and one has an injured leg and hobbles on the other leg. It seems swollen and a little bit of pus is coming out at the joint of the upper leg to the lower leg. I know this may be hard to see how it is swollen, but right at the joint and it holds this leg out to the...

My order of baby chicks that I couldn't wait for was suppose to be in yesterday. I went by to pick them up, but they weren't there yet. However, they did receive there regular shipment and "Ooops I did it again" I came home with 11 baby furry legged bantams. There is even two that I am...

I am wanting to make a tractor/mobile coop, but I can't decide how exactly I would like it to look. I have thought about one looking like a gypsy wagon (saw a pic of one online), or one that mimics our home, or one that looks like a victorian house. Anybody else have some really unique ideas...

So I am a new mommy to chicks as of last week. I have been wanting some chickens for some time now after researching for the last year and figuring out what breed I was going to want. We finally got our first batch of chicks. I love all of these cute little babies I picked out, everybody is...

My friend came over for Easter dinner and afterwards we looked at our brand new baby chicks. She asked me if I am putting medication in the water. I said no and asked what kind of medication she didn't know what it was called, but she put something in her chicks water for the first two weeks...

I need help identifying what type of Bantams I might have, they came from the feed store and they were called a Bantam Special from Ideal Poultry. Apparently, they are a mixture of purebred bantams. 1. This first one is mostly black w/ pale yellow on the face. (This one turned out to be a...
