I just got home from a 2 day vacation to find my hen in a bad state, she's 6 years old and doesn't look good. Her poop reeks, and her face in the span of two days has turned a greenish blue around the waddle and lower part of face (possible infection?) Her breathing seems fine at the moment but...
I currently have 2 very pretty roosters that need rehoming in California, I’m willing to meet anyone in the Sacramento/ auburn area and anywhere in between and maybe a little farther if need be. I’m unsure of the types of roosters I have since I was given the eggs by someone else but they are...
I have 2 chickens that are 3 months old now, I haven’t heard any crowing or rooster behavior but their tail feathers are giving me mixed signals.. I really hope they are hens but I’m not hopeful at those darn feathers. 😭
I’ve never hatched ducklings before so I don’t know what’s normal, in about six hours it will be 36 hours since they have made their internal pip but since then I haven’t seen an external pip at all? Is this typically normal for ducklings? The duck is still alive and trying.
I just went into lockdown like an hour ago and took out the tray and raised the humidity to 65% but now that my tray is gone my little temperature checker isn’t saying a steady temp, the temp keeps going up 3-4 then going down 3-4 so I’m scared about my eggs! Should I maybe just put them under...
I have the econo 32 egg incubator and I'm currently struggling with figuring out how to take the egg turner out? Please help this is my first time incubating eggs..
Recently when viewing my chickens I've noticed one of my 4 year old girls displaying some issues, when she would eat or drink most of the time she would then start honking and looking like she was choking and breathing weirdly. And this morning at 8:20 she was still laying down with her eyes...
I ended up making a bit of a stupid mistake, recently I was testing out the new incubator I got and didn’t end up marking the duck eggs I put inside since I wasn’t actually expecting the incubator to do very well considering I got it for 100 dollars. So now I have 2 duck eggs developing and I...
Had a brown bear get into the chicken feed last night and the trash, there’s still a lot of feed left so I was wondering if it can still go to the chickens or if it’s not advised due to the bear maybe contaminating it?
I have 4 chicks that are about 6 weeks old now so I thought I would let the guessing begin! Just want to clarify that they are all mixes I believe, I didn’t get any from a hatchery but got them from a neighbor so I don’t really know the breeds of any of these guys!
Chick 1 is the first 3...
This is my first time trying to hatch out duck eggs using my incubator so I had a few questions about humidity. What is a good humidity range to keep the eggs at? I tried looking it up myself but saw many different levels of humidity that people recommend.
The duck eggs I’m trying to hatch are...
My turkey dandelion is a little over a year old and I’m worried about her water consumption.
Now where I’m at we are going through an annoying heat wave so all of my flock is suffering but I’m worried about dandelion in particular since I never see her drinking and she’s always panting...
I recently posted in another forum about one of my chicks being wobbly, she has gotten better but now I’m having another chick start getting wobbly to the point of it scaring me. This chick barely gets up and can barely walk straight, when she tries to run she has to have her wings out but most...
2 weeks ago my turkey hatched out four chickens, 3 of them are very energetic and eating a ton and drinking a ton while the last chicken does all these things as well but she seems a lot less energetic. She’s drinking, eating and pooping all fine but she sits down a lot and is wobbly on...
I let my turkey hatch out some chicken eggs, and they just hatched today. She seems very very overprotective of them and has been pecking me non stop today when I try to look. I also hear her chirping back to them and she seems overall happy! The issue I have is that I put on of her chicks in...
Recently my Turkey has been trying to hatch out a clutch of eggs along with a few chicken eggs, the thing is we don’t have a Tom so they just aren’t going to hatch. And no one around my area has turkeys either. I was wondering if giving her some chicken eggs would be okay? It’s rare for us to...
Today I found an injured pigeon in front of my house, I have never taken in a wild bird before so I am ill equipped of knowledge, from looking him over he doesn’t seem to be gravely injured but it looks like he got attacked by a hawk or other ariel bird, I believe one of his wings are broken...
I was gone for 3 days and when I got back and looked at my flock I noticed that my royal palm turkey Dandelion had a green patch on her throat, it's been rainy for the past few days I was gone and now it's starting to snow up here, I didn't notice any green on her before I left and the weather...
Before I start I just wanted to say anything no my turkeys are not sick I just want some general information, before getting turkeys I tried to search about blackhead disease in my area but didn’t get a whole lot of information so I was wondering if anyone had experience in Auburn California and...
Made a video of both my cats, can you tell who’s the adorable one and the one who chooses to jump on me when I sleep? I love my cats yet sometimes they know how to reek havoc..
