Hey everyone! So it’s the weekend and I’m free! I want draw something but I can’t think of what to draw so here I am! I will try to draw your birds! I’ve done a few of these drawing posts before and usually I just do little doodles but this time I’m going to try to be more realistic. (Apologies...
Hello everyone! So about 3 days ago my runner hen got hurt and is limping really bad. She hasn’t put hardly any weight on her leg and is kinda hobbling around. She is still eating and drinking normally and is swimming sometimes. I am assuming she was hurt by my goose while a drake was trying to...
Hello everyone. I just thought I’d post this to remind me and all you that Memorial Day is not just a long weekend. Lots of people are hurting today and I’m sure some of you are as well. Sometimes I forget that today is supposed to be for honoring the lost. I lost my cousin who served two years...
Hi! Which do you prefer and why?
I love dogs and I do not like cats! I think dogs are much more loyal than cats and a dog will love you no matter what! I know a few people who are scared of dogs and like cats because of this. Usually if dogs attacks someone, first off I think it’s usually not...
Hello everyone! So this is the strangest thing! I’ll be scrolling on BYC or looking at apps and all of a sudden I’m looking at a Craigslist listing for ducks! And then without even touching anything I’m replaying to the add asking if the ducks are still available! Next thing I know I’ve got four...
Hello! So I have a broody duck. She has been sitting loyally on 7 eggs and they are developing. My incubator has some (more like 40) eggs that are going to hatch soon and I was wondering if I could replace her eggs with the ones in my bator. I would obviously not give her 40 eggs but possibly 40...
Hi BYC! so I have a problem. A fox just ran through our property and I thought all was well after I checked on all the birds. I was on my deck and in the rocks I saw something squirming. It was a new born bunny… and not one but two. There was some blood around and I assumed some of the other...
Hello! I just hatched this little baby and am wondering what she will look like. Mother is a buff call duck and father is a penciled call duck. Thanks!
Hello BYC! So I was cleaning my ducklings cage and just noticed this. It is only on one eye and doesn’t look like it’s touching the peupil. Is there a way to cure this? What could have caused this? She is a call black Swedish cross. Thanks!
Hello everyone! What is your prettiest or favorite bird?! What is there name, breed and why do you like them? Here’s mine,
This is princess! She is a silver Swedish crested duck. I think she is my prettiest bird (hopefully my Sebastopol will change that) because of her bill! I don’t know why! I...
Hello! So 1,2, and 3 are unsexed game bantams. I’m betting on two hens and a roo but wanted some second opinions. 4,5, and 6 are “sexed” gold laced Wyandotte “hens”. Any thoughts?
I just finished a 5 hour drive to pick up a female Sebastopol gosling… now 5 hours till home. I’m very available for distraction's and thought I’d share some pictures of the drive through Colorado! Here’s my new little girl!
Hello everyone! So I have a Sebastopol goslings that is feathering out smooth. He has a few curly feathers but is mostly smooth. He is about 7 weeks old. Will he get more curly or will he only be semi curly? Here’s a picture from today.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Not very good with chicken breeds but here they are. :confused: I was told they were bantam Easter Eggers but I looked up pictures and they look nothing like them. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Hello! So I’ve seen a few posts about what a call duck and regular size duck cross would look like. I hatched just that! The mother is a chocolate pied call duck named Pancake and the father is a black Swedish named Chicken. (This breeding was not intended and will not be happening again!) Two...
Hello everyone! I am hatching some of my ducks eggs and thought I’d do a hatch-a-long! I have two batches, batch A has 11 eggs and was set 25/3/12 and batch B has 8 eggs and was set 25/3/14. I have never hatched these ducks eggs before so I’m excited to see what I get! Eggs two and three from...
Hello everyone! So I posted this under ducks because I would not say it’s an emergency. My call duck hen has just started laying a bit ago (this not her first year laying). I feel her tummy every day to see if she has an egg. Three days ago I felt an egg the next morning she didn’t lay it. I...
She just hatched. Trying not to touch her right now. Trying to let her absorb a little more. she hatched on her own. Just trying to keep it clean. Do you think this will be fine? I’m not actually home right now. My pet sitter is doing this.
Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks!
Hello everyone! So I have a duckling and a gosling. I am going to go on a ski trip and was planning on bringing them with me because my car has an outlet so I could plug in their heat lamp. On the drive there we are going to stop to go tubing and it’s supposed to be around 20° outside. Their...
