Very curious but timid. I probably wouldn't of picked this breed but wanted to help them out so any...

    Gender Reveal?

    Meet Pincess Peach (white and brown) and Princess Daisy. We bought these lovely ducks from tractor supply from a straight run bin. So the genders were a mystery as well as breed. Though due to the feather curling up on Princess Peach I think we may have a Prince Peach and a Princess Daisy. What...

    Mystery Bin at Peavey

    I ordered 6 chicks (Olive Eggers and Lavender Orpingtons) and then I picked out 3 chicks in a bin with 9 different varieties. I picked all grey/blackish ones. The grey ones could be Sapphire Gem, Americauna, Barred Rock or Specialty Brown layer, or maybe I actually picked more lavender...

    Mystery chick, gender and breed?

    Was told it was "a gold star" but I don't know :/ his/her tail is growing in miraculously slowly and is much much smaller than the 4 other chicks I got at the exact same time. I know there are late bloomers.. but they are all 7 weeks old and this one is half the size of the others. According to...

    I originally hatched it out in an incubator and then slipped him/her under a broody silkie who is now her mom. Dad is definitely a Lavender Ameracauna I have a lot of breeds of hens but majority of Lavender's babies are black. So why is this little guy/gal WHITE?! The neck in a video when...

    My hen pooped a hairball?

    I have a Cuckoo Maran hen that is about 10 months old. Last week she started acting just a bit off, puffy and off to the side by herself. She had some watery poops so I brought her inside for a night with ACV and some protein (eggs/meat). That night she pooped what looked to be a small 1in long...

    Hen with dirty butt only when laying (not when molting)

    Hi all! I've got an Easter egger named Scarlet that we rescued about a year and a half ago. When we got her she had this dirty butt (vent gleet?) and while it has gotten slightly better, it's still a constant thing she has. UNLESS she is molting and not laying. We've had her for two cycles now...

    Mystery Illness, Sick Hen

    Ok I have a mystery illness in one of my hens… I have a flock of 14, they are all 3 years old now. About two months ago I noticed one of my red stars wasn’t pecking around like the rest of the flock, she just stood in the middle of the other hens and shook her head occasionally. When I picked...

    Any guess on gosling's breed?

    Hello everyone, I recently went on a journey to pick up some Pomeranian goslings. I did get three of them, but I also came home with two mystery goslings as well. The woman I bought them from raises Pomeranian, Sebastopol, Tufted Roman, and Toulouse geese. She said she keeps her goslings...

    Sudden Pekin Death, Heartbroken

    My partner went to let the ducks out this morning and found my 4 year old female Pekin dead. Her neck is definitely not straight and she’s died with her legs flat out underneath her stomach. Nothing that I can see, one eye is closed the other is open, pupil seems to be dilated. Absolutely...

    Is that time of year to start the tractor supply guess-a-thon.

    Hallo, I fell prey to the cute little buggers at tractor supply again while waiting for my hatchery order to come in. I got 4 bantams that all appear to be the same breed. Of course there was no specific breed listed. Ill post more pictures soon.

    EE or?!

    I know it’s too early to be sure…. 4.5 weeks old. But what breeds do you think this mutt could be? And do you think it’ll be a pullet or roo? I will update pics in a few weeks as well!

    Mystery: Turken born with feathered neck?!

    Somehow, and I’m dumbfounded by this, the Turken x Ameraucana mix which hatched has neck feathers?! I may be mistaken, but for the longest time I’ve known for a fact that the Turken gene in chickens is always dominant, no matter what the cross is? Am I right? I thought that they only needed one...
