I have a pair of African Geese, Young but you can tell the gender of them already. I am not looking to auction or sell them. I will gladly give you this pair in exchange for a 50 pound bag of layer pellets. No shipping must pick up in Hernando, FL.
I have owned pet chickens for years and have never had a problem until now.... My babies are 6 months old, they have a nice large chicken coop and a huge enclosed run. I noticed a couple weeks ago some black markings on a few of their combs, I thought maybe they scrapped them on the fence or...
My neighbor gave me her geese about a month ago and I am a first time owner of geese.. I own lots of chickens but never a goose. At first I tried to put them in with my chickens but they started attacking the geese, so I put them in my fenced in yard which is mostly dirt and weeds and they...
I recently got 3 of these, and he told me they were a month old, which is wrong.. for I have two 4 week olds and they are not as feathered or as big as these.. actually I have 6 week olds that are not as big as these so my guess is they are atleast 10 weeks old or older..
Well this is of the...
I had a small flock of 3 hens in a small coop and run and had purchased a Rooster and Hen that I was going to add to them. I have had their pens side by side now for a month so that the older girls would get used to seeing them and make the transition easier, so at night time after I had locked...
I had purchased 6 Bantam Golden Laced Wyandottes from Ideal, and they are about 2 weeks old now, and on one of them the feathers on the wings are looking like they are turning upward, Do wyandottes carry the frizzle gene, I thought it was primarily Cochins, Silkies and etc...
I posted this picture up when I first got it . It was suppose to be a rooster, and well I am getting the girl vibe on this one Which is fine, because one of my suppose to be girls is a boy.
Okay and then for comparison this one is younger but obvious a roo
I was praying it was a pullet, she feathered in quickly but then now at 6-7 weeks her beautiful comb has turned red but not so much the waddles..
So help me here, is she a he??
So what do you think is it a keeper (she) or not (Roo) ??
I just bought a young pullet recently (2 days ago) and I noticed bloody stool. No one locals carries corid, so I will need to order from Jeffers, what can I give her until that get's here??
I would hate her to die in the mean time.
Well I think I might have 2 roo's and 2 pullets. They are roughly around 3 weeks old now and I am noticing a larger comb on one of my BC marans and my blue so if the blue ends up a roo , it will have to go.. I will post some pictures up tomorrow ...
Just looking at them I am thinking 2...
Luckily we are in Florida and the day time is reaching close to 90 degrees , Tonight the low is 67 and tomorrow the low is 46, do you think with a heat lamp on at anytime it drops below 70 the ducks will be okay... The 2 larger one's are at least 3 weeks and I think the smaller one is at least...
I am up to my ears in chicks..
Now I need to build another coop for my bantam collection....

Black Australops, Barred Rock, Buff Orpington
White cochins , partridge cochin, buff cochin Bantams
and now i just bought 8 golden laced wyandotte bantams..

They are about a foot high and their yellow is looking faded looking... I don't know how to explain it. The lady who gave them to me said she had them about a week, and I have had them almost a week myself. Who knows how old they were when they bought her.
I have a 4 day old White Cochin Bantam and it is not putting weight on one leg. I didn't notice this before so not sure if it is an injury or not.
Here is some pictures.. It's only on one side, she doesnt want to put weight on it, toes are closed
I need details on how to splint it, I have...
I have three little cochins and today I noticed my white one is not standing on its leg... does this mean I might need to cull it?
Here is the pictures
I am not sure exactly what breed they are , but a nice lady in my county gave me 3 little ducks.
2 of them look exactly alike and I am KMFX for Pekins then there is one that is the same coloring but wayyyyy smaller and I have no clue what it is... Any guesses on either..??
Sorry the pictures...
I had posted up a couple pictures of these guys when I first got them but as their wing feathers are coming in, I noticed 5 of my peanuts look identical and then one is slightly different.
and then..... this little guy's feathers are coming in a dark red with no pattern or variation
I...
I made this temporary chicken tractor/run for a young rooster I had purchased but he is too young to mingle with the others yet. So I looked at pictures and decided to make my own PVC tractor...
Just wanted to show it off because I am proud! I don't build too many things with out my hubby...
I have a 8x16 coop with the run being 16 x 20.... so a total of 320 sq feet outside of the coop and 128 sq ft inside...
I have a total of 25 hens
Buff Orpingtons, Barred Rocks and Black Australops... Can I throw 3 Roo's in there was well or will there be an issue...
I already have my marans...
So the other day I bought a Black Australop Rooster who is about 3 months old now, still peeps like a chick.. very young roo.
Since he is too old to mix with my new flock , I stuck him in with my older girls who are pecking the heck out of him so he has stayed hidden where ever they will leave...
