    Possible feed toxin intake.

    I have two peahens from two different pens showing the same symptoms. Both are alert and aware, but neither can walk. They roosted on their perches last night, both were 100% fine this morning, and again 100% fine this afternoon. Tonight, when we went to lock them in for the night, I found...

    Most likely scenario? Color question...

    We just hatched two chicks from our IB pair. One is regular IB, and one is white. Which is a more likely scenario? Are they both split to black shoulder and the baby is going to be BS, or could they both be split to white and the baby will stay white? Neither one of the parents has any white...

    Issue with peacock--respiratory or gape worm?

    I have a 3 yo male peacock who was acting fine yesterday morning (calling, displaying, etc.), but was gasping for air last night when I checked on them before bed. He is also wheezing. His eyes are clear, no nasal discharge, no swollen sinuses. I gave him a dose of valbazen (1cc) last night...

    Concerned about progressive pied/progressive white with my cameo bs peacock

    I bought this cameo black shoulder boy a year ago. At the time, I was told he was about 1, but I think he was more like 6 months because he still has some baby feathers, and his train obviously has a lot of growing left to do. That would put him at roughly 1 1/2 to 2 right now. As he molts...

    Considering selling call duck hatching eggs

    We have a nice little flock of call ducks of various colors that my daughter shows at our local fair. Currently, we are incubating 7 and the majority of them are developing nicely. One of our hens also hatched out ducklings last year, so the fertility is very good. We are considering selling...

    Horsehair baskets

    I've been posting pictures of my horsehair baskets in the handcrafted thread from time to time, but thought I'd start my own. Hopefully no one minds. :) I've been making horsehair jewelry and other keepsakes for about 15 years now, and just within the last year, ventured into making coiled...

    Can you tell if these birds are white-eye?

    This cameo black-shoulder pair came from a group with known white-eyed birds. Could they be white-eyed themselves, or is it too early to tell?

    What color is this?

    Our daughter bought this lovely pair of bantam cochins last year, and I don't think I've seen this color in them before. I was thinking lavender (self blue), but the hen has what look to be mille fleur speckles on her feathers. Is there a different name for her color, or do they both fall...

    Spalding...boy or girl?

    Hatched in 2023 (no idea when) and advertised as a male. I find it hard to tell males from females as juveniles... The pictures are crummy, but he(?) does have yellow cheeks.

    Black shoulder hen with blue eyes?

    This hen is about a year old, and when we picked her up, we noticed she has blue eyes. I read that blue eyes could mean that they carry either a white gene or a pied gene. Or sometimes their eyes are just blue. Can anyone tell from the pics if she could be carrying anything other than BS?

    My peafowl...:)

    This is Atom and Joule. :) They are both about two years old. Atom came to us through a very unusual set of circumstances, and he's come a long way, health-wise. They are both very valued members of our family. :)

    Boy or girl, or too early to tell?

    I found this picture on an online auction site...can you tell from this young age whether it's a male or female? If so, what are the key signs?

    Does this color have a specific name?

    This little guy is one of our barnyard mix babies that we hatched out this year. He's a bunch of different breeds, I'm sure, but I'm more interested in his color. We don't have any others like him, and I was wondering if his color/pattern has an actual name. I'm sure not...but figured I'd...

    Lost 7 hens last night :(

    My mom called me early this morning to tell me that my niece had opened up Mom's coop and found a dead chicken. The coop is old, but has been well predator-proofed, and nothing has gotten in since she started keeping chickens. Unfortunately, they were a little late closing the coop up last...

    Guinea/chicken hybrids?

    We have two female Guineas that our roosters are very interested in. Today, when using a couple of their eggs, we noticed they are definitely fertile. That of course led me to thinking...what would happed if we incubated them? I know guinea/chicken hybrids can happen, but what are the odds of...

    Supposed to be Silver Lakenvelders...

    We ordered a couple silver lakenvelders from Hoover's Hatchery, along with a bunch of other chicks. We have identified every other breed, so that only leaves these black chicks as possible lakenvelders. The pictures of the lakenvelder chicks online show more white than these babies have, but...

    Broody mama drama LOL

    We have a tiny game bird bantam named Dove who decided to go broody at the edge of the field next to our house. We have been having terrible issues with raccoons lately, and when she disappeared, we feared the worst. Thankfully, we found her and her clutch before anything bad happened to them...

    TSC Bantam(?) cochins--what colors?

    So lately I've been making orders to TSC online and using curbside pickup, which has been great for keeping me from perusing the chick bins inside the store. Today though, I had to make a somewhat unexpected trip inside. I just thought I'd quickly glance at the chicks...they had several bins of...
