Hello Y'all! So, I found out that my three 11-week old Easter Egger "pullets" are actually cockerels (Thanks to everyone on BYC who told me so!). As I cannot have that many roosters, they're going to have to go to the cooking pot. They are very skinny at present. I've been feeding them chick...

Early May I ordered 11 chicks: 10 pullets and 1 cockerel. This included 3 Easter Egger hens, but now that they are about 9 weeks old, I am wondering if one of the "hens" is a rooster. I don't know if "she" is the one who has been crowing, but I noticed "her" tail feathers are greenish in the...

Just a quick question: What color eggs do Golden 300 Hybrid Layer Duck lay? Thanks in advance.

I posted this in ducks, but I think I should post it here too. So I had gotten home, after a litte while it was reported to me that one of my ducks was dead. It was my campbell hen who had a little more than a week ago been attacked by one of the dogs. The dog didn't inflict any deep wounds, she...

So I had gotten home, after a litte while it was reported to me that one of my ducks was dead. It was my campbell hen who had a little more than a week ago been attacked by one of the dogs. The dog didn't inflict any deep wounds, she basically pinned the poor duck down and tore all of her back...

So I got two new harlequin ducks from the same place on wednesday and have kept them seperate from from flock and wore different shoes went going to them and stuff like that. I just walked outside and one of them, sweet little stinker, got out and was happily grasshopper hunting with the other...

So I'm getting new ducks today! Two girl harlequins. One couple months old one, and a older one. I have never gotten adults before (Always got ducklings:love) but have read about it and plan on doing quarantine as I hope everyone who gets ducks does. I know many people skip it, but I really...

Hello everyone. This morning one of my Campbell girls was sort of limping. She wasn't unable to walk. She was still running around, but slower and her left foot was moving strangely. So i checked her foot and Bumblefoot? I am not certain as I have never had it happen before. So I thought I had...

Simple question. Can I have peppermint oil put on stuff where my ducks are? Trying to deter mice. Never heard of peppermint oil being a problem, but I want to be sure. Any other get-rid-of-mice ideas appreciated.

I need some advice as soon as possible. I have some 6 weeks old Magpies. I can now tell that I have 1 girl and two boys. I CANNOT keep the boys, but I do not want the girl to be alone. I have some ducklings that I hatched yesterday mostly, but I don't think she will accept them, and she might...

This thread isn't dedicated to one type of game. Instead, I'll post a game once in awhile, every few days maybe. They will be games that have winners mostly, though there might be some that are not competitive. While there isn't a game going on feel free to chat. There will also be contests like...

So I have a bunch of ducks. Yesterday I cracked open five eggs, two of them had tiny blood spots. I cracked two open today and the second had a big meat spot the size of my pink fingernail. I read common egg quality problems, and it seems this happens naturally once in awhile, but what about the...

My ducklings will be hatching soon. I am making a wool hen as they call it to go along with the other source of heat. It is an old plastic cat litter box. I have of piece of cardboard that i am tying strips of fleece to. I am wondering if i could use yarn as well. Anyone have expierience with...

So my Black Runner hen, Jasper, was with my main flock, but as the drake didn't like her, and she prefers to be with the magpies I put her in the Magpies breeding pen with them. A little while later she was in the house making a mumble quack without opening her beak and making a nest, she was...

Hi, I am looking for someone who has been raising turkeys for some time who I can interview on raising them. I want to do an article on why different people keep different types of poultry, but as I have not owned every type of poultry, i need some help.
