I just got this guy last week I have turkeys geese chickens and ducks that free range during the day and sleep separately at night. I have noticed a pecking order but he holds his own and isn’t getting beat up. The problem is all my birds ignore him and he seems to be a loner. I barely started...

I am trying to order sulphadimethoxine online and they sites are saying I need a vet prescription. Is there any site I can order without the prescription? I really need to treat my birds and would prefer not to have to inject them. Thanks

Last Friday I got 8 silkies almost two months old. Yesterday morning I found one very cold and lethargic and blood in his stool. I did some research and thought that it’s probably coccidiosis. I have other backyard birds and have never had any sick birds until now. I got corid in powder form...

So my backyard is getting pretty smelly especially since we got a good amount of rain last night. Is there any non toxic or maybe homemade spray I can use to spray the backyard to help with the smell. My birds have free range of my backyard.

So my turkey that I got as a baby in March is sitting on the duck eggs. She hasn’t even started laying eggs yet.

I was given 13 adult chickens last year and have always gotten 7-9 eggs a day. The last couple weeks I have only been getting between 4-5 eggs a day. I don’t know how old my chickens are. But I was wondering do chickens go on strike and take a break every once in a while if so how long do they...

My duck lays eggs but doesn’t get broody until there’s a lot of eggs. Last month I let her have her eggs and I guess they were all bad none hatched. My son wants to try it again. I put a date on the eggs also. But my question is it normal for ducks not to get broody until they have a bunch of...

I noticed that my turkeys have bald spots on there chest. I don’t know what’s going on. It looks like new feathers are growing but not sure what happened or if I’m doing something wrong.

I have a turkey that’s gets so jealous if I hold or pet any of my other backyard birds. She will puff up her feathers and peck at them. She also likes to come in the house and sit on my husbands lap and watch him play video games. Or hang out with my pitbull.

Has anybody ordered birds online. I would like to get more Cayuga ducks and was wondering if it’s even worth ordering or if I should wait until next spring. What companies are better than others. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Has anyone ever put any chicken eggs under a broody duck. I have seen some of my hens lay an egg with a duck egg. Has anyone ever done this and has anyone been successful with them hatching? I haven’t noticed any of my hens getting broody so I’m tempted to put them with my duck next time she...

How do I know if my drake is not fertilizing my eggs. This is my first year having backyard birds and I decided to see if my duck would hatch eggs. She had 7 eggs she became broody so I thought everything was good. After time her eggs kept disappearing and some exploded. So my son and I were...

I used to get 7 to 9 eggs a day and now I’m only getting between 4 and 5 eggs daily. I have been feeding them the same thing the whole time I have had them. I’m not sure how old my hens are because they were given to me. I’m wondering if my jerk of a rooster is stressing them out. I have...

Wonder if anybody can tell what sex of geese I have. I have three and am having a hard time figuring out if they are male or female. Thanks

This is my first time having ducks. I got them this March. And now what I thought was females I’m thinking maybe they are males. Some of them are starting to mount each other. They have all been raised together. So they are all buddies. Can someone give me some ideas on how to tell which ones...
