A guy down the road was out with a weed eater and a chick ran across his yard and was trying to go through his basement window. Thinking it might be one of my birds, he brought it to me. I have no idea of what it even is, it's about the size of a gosling. I called game and fish, she said...

I would like to build an outdoor aviary for my conures, just for warm weather. I am looking for suggestions on what wire to use and where to source it. I'm thinking 1"x1" holes? Would a double wall with hardware cloth on the outer part be a good idea to protect them from predators? The wire...

A goofy hen had a hidden nest, I candled a few days after we found the nest and 17 out of 20 eggs looked like they were a few days from hatch :eek: Almost 2 weeks ago her eggs hatched. When she got up, there were 16 babies! She lost one the first night but the rest are doing great! I put a...

Hi all, I have an older GQF cabinet incubator and the temps have been fluctuating. Long story short, I think I need a new thermostat, GQF recommends a 3255 Multi Turn. I ordered this part from 3 different companies over the last few weeks (including GQF) and the money kept getting refunded...

Can anyone tell me how you tell the difference between a Blue Fawn, a Pastel, and a Butterscotch Call duck? I have a pair of Calls and am trying to figure out what color they are. Thank you!

It's been a long time since I visited BYC... Too much I want to do and not enough time to do it all. But I just had to share this, it is just so neat! My husband sent me a message while I was at work to tell me that there was a white sparrow at the feeder. When I got home he showed me...

Has anyone ever heard of vegetable peach preserves? Apparently my brother-in-law had some when he was young and loved them. My sister wants to make some for him but we have no idea of what it is. She said possibly made from vine peach? Anyone have any ideas of what it is and how to make it?

nchls school I can't thank you enough! I don't think Riot actually knows 'step up', but now any time my hand gets near him he steps up on it! At first he would hang out on my shoulder and when I reached for him he would scoot over behind my head and hide (which made it tricky to get him off)...

Hi folks, hopefully there is a conure person who can offer some tips... Last summer we got a Sun Conure from Petco named Khaos and he is a real delight. Then early December while at Petco the assistant manager saw us and offered us another Conure for a reduced price. This one is a Jenday...

I finally got a few pictures of two of my little ones... the colors have me scratching my head. Any ideas? Number one, about 2 months old: The second picture is a little blurry, just wanted to show the very light buff on the breast (same color is on the upper shoulder and neck area on...

Hi guys, I'm stumped... I hatched out a bunch of peachicks this year. Some were eggs from my group, some were from my best friend. She has a Silver Pied cock and an India Blue cock with white flight feathers, both from me so we both have pretty much the same genetics there. Her hens all...

Ok, hope this topic is ok on this forum... Do you know what it means to goose somebody or is that term no longer used?

I just thought I would share this facebook link https://www.facebook.com/WildInNorthDakota They are going to be thinning the wild horse population in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park here in ND and these folks have some incredible photos of some of the horses that might be coming out for...

Does anyone know of a reputable site that sells Derma-clens in the 14 oz containers? My vet only has 1 oz tubes and gave me the impression that it dosn't come in the bigger containers anymore. Looking on line it appears that Zoetis spun off fro Pfizer, and they still show the 14 oz. I have an...

I am working on getting a permit from the state to have Canada geese. Anyone have experience on what I need for fencing to contain them? I am thinking of 'regular' size and Cacklers. Any advice is appreciated!

I look at the peafowl section, and see the top post with the last reply beside it. You know how that works... so I look and see: what are they thinkin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got a log splitter How does that fit into a section about peafowl? So I decided to start a new thread instead of...

Is Buford Bronze and just 'Bronze' the same thing, or is Buford Bronze a separate strain (like there are bronze turkeys and the Wishard Bronze strain, etc...).

How old are female peas when they get color on their necks? My little girl is going to be 5 months old on the 14th, so far all of her colors are various shades of brown and tan.

I work night shift, and try to be on the road around 8 pm to go in. Last night I got up and the road conditions said 'no travel advised'. That means that the roads aren't closed yet, but plows may have been pulled and if you get stranded they may not be able to come help you. I erred on the...
