My friend was told the two larger reddish brown chicks were Columbian Rock Crosses by the Tractor Supply store they were purchased from. Could this be correct? From a quick look, I thought they were Rhode Island Reds. --- Thanks in advance. (The others are Black Sex-Links, an Australorp and a...

Can anyone give me some tips or advice on this incubator? Would be very grateful! Mainly...how to operate it?? I do not yet have a cabinet one myself...hope to soon! Anyhow, she just got it from a relative and there is no manual with it...or an online one that I could find? Is there one...

I ordered this duckling from Townline hatchery here in MI...but s/he doesn't look like the other KC ducklings in photos I've seen. Since growing up a bit...it is getting a bit darker here and there. I was thinking Fawn & White Runner....but.....hmm... . Missing some feathers up top...perhaps...

....at least this one does.

This little Embden fella, Golly, is just under 3 days old now. Looks like a boy to me, but I could use some help!

I'm looking for an emu chick...in Michigan! Can anyone help me? I don't care what gender, but I would like a fairly young one to work with. I've been searching and searching for someone out here that has them! Any help would be...very helpful!! Thank you Cat

Can anyone give me a hand with these guys? Here they are... 1 2 3 4 5 Help! lol

I have noticed that my lady buttons have such dark eyes...all of them. But my boys all have either somewhat lighter brown or blue-grey irises. I can always see the pupil somewhat easily without bright lighting. So I'm asking fellow quail keepers -- can you tell a button's gender by eye color?

I'm not sure if I have the proper lighting currently. I have been trying to figure out what type of bulbs to buy for my buttons... I've seen Otto-lites...are those any good? What do you guys use?? I've found a few regular bulbs online meant to treat SAD -- those would work, right? Some of...

I set another round of eggs...just couldn't resist! Everything was going fine... until we lost power about a week before the hatch! A bad storm hit here and tore off some siding and shingles...some crazy wind. I watched the incubator as it dropped down to 90 degrees quickly and then started...

I am planning to bring home 2 or 3 pullets from a friend at my TSC store. (That is where they originally came from as you may have figured.) She wants to give them a good home and I would love to have them. I currently have 6 chickens. 4 are only about 4 months old. They are all Isa Browns...

I set up my new incubator and placed in the eggs from my 4 month old buttons. (Their baby pic is in on My Page!) They may plan to incubate future eggs on their own because I caught them rolling the eggs about a few times recently. That would be great! Is that a good sign that they may? Well --...

I think this is a hen....but I want to ask. What do you think?? No gobbles, but some short struts maybe once in a rare while. (I hear the hens can strut, too.) I hope this is a female turkey since they won't get as heavy as the boys usually and most of all I don't want crushed lady chickens...

I just got an abandoned or lost rouen today from a friend. (Most likely dumped.) He was just swimming alone down the river. He is molting and I can see some shiny green coming in on his head. He was very happy to be invited to eat with the chickens! He's somewhat underweight, but he'll fix that...

On the 19th, I picked up my first two runner ducklings...they were ordered from the Townline hatchery here in Michigan. They look like fawn and whites to me. I hope I have a pair, but I'll have to be patient to find out. They have gotten bigger since these pics were taken. They grow so fast and...

Hey-- curious about using Tylan on my infected birds. I have 14 of them currently. 6 have died so far and were a bit younger. My oldest chicks (about a month old) have it the worst. I got most of them from Tractor Supply. I started with 6 because it was the minimum you could buy....but feel...
