Earl last year we bought a quad of Wellsummers. They laid well and were very fertile so we hatched out around 40-50. They are all about 4-5 months right now, and out of the batches there was a male and female dwarf. The adults are normal and all pretty standard looking except one hen has a...
Hello all. Does anyone have experience with dwarf and semi-dwarf apple trees? I am putting in an order from Stark Bro's online and I'm not sure which size I should get.
According to the website, dwarf apple trees grow a max height and width of 8-10 feet, and semi-dwarfs are about 10-15 feet...
I couldn’t figure out what thread for put this in because nothing seemed to totally match. Anyhow we ordered 20 chicks in April, all 20 survived and we sold 12 of them leaving us with 8 beautiful friendly little hens. We had 4 barnevelders and 1 cockerel and 2 pullets would beat the living...
I'm new to ducks and think I have a miniature ancona duck, which I am totally ok with and its the greatest. It was hatched a few days after its siblings and has a crippled foot which i am going to tape flat but it has been getting around pretty good. So my question is curiosity of what I can...
Hello all,

Someone locally is trying to help preserve this rare true bantam called the Olandsk Dwarf. I was interested in possibly getting some, but I couldn't find any information on their general size.... Everything says "small" does anyone know their general size range? Around 1.5 lbs like seabrights...
So, I have a little Cochin bantam chick that is in need of a name and I find myself grasping at straws for a suitable name. No idea of the gender, but any and all name suggestions will be considered.
Now, this little peep is rather special. It hatched out from under a broody hen with several...
I bought 4 chicks around 3 weeks ago and they were all 2 - 2.5 weeks old. They were all about the same size except one which was slightly smaller however over the last three weeks the others are almost double its size and it has only grown a little from when we first bought it. From what I can...

My Rudy is my Dwarf Bantum Red Cochin.. He, as a youngin, was spooked off his perch and lost his beak in the fall. Now, he has since healed up, completely, has been for a good year and a half now, needless to say he can eat but has a difficult time keeping his otherwise beautiful feathers in...
My Rudy has a bad I fection I saw him limping the other day and when I checked closer his feet were swollen. I took him into the house and immediately soaked him, cleaned his feet and legs, and what I thought was mites and has been treated for them, (poultry spray), seems to be an I fection of...
