I had a hen go broody a few weeks back and her chicks are starting to hatch and last night one hatched and was fine this morning, but I went out later and there were ants all over it’s face and the other chicks and mom were pecking it. It also was away from the mom on the other side of the bin...
My mom recently bought two peachicks along with two frizzle chicken chicks that came with them/were their cage mates. This happened while I was away at my grandmas. One of the chicks is acting lethargic and wont move or eat or drink and my mom is very worried because we’ve had peachicks before...

Please help! My dog had puppies on the 11th, 4, 2 boys and 2 girls. I was just checking them over today and realized they were crawling in fleas. They’re outside dogs(can’t come inside, my stepdad won’t allow it) and I sprayed the pen down with flea spray and there’s been nothing in the pen...

I know there’s plenty of controversial and different opinions on dogs with poultry. I personally love dogs and love my birds so it was scary getting dogs to just guard the birds after all the horror stories I’ve heard of dogs killing peoples flocks. I have 2 pyrenees pups(each a year and a half...

I had a barnyard mix roo just drop dead here. No change in diet, surroundings and temp was steady 50s . His feathers were scattered everywhere, when I found him he wasn’t stiff yet and still warm. One part looked to have been pecked by other chickens. Not likely to have been a...
I had a couple pigeons hatch 2 weeks or so ago and they’re just getting old enough to start trying to fly and jumping out of the nests. I came in this evening and noticed one baby on the floor in a little huddle, with its sibling by it. The sibling tried to get away from me and was lively, but...
I am wondering how much I should be feeding my flock of 10 chickens, 2 ducks , 3 turkeys and 2 guinea fowl. Normally the hens get a quart and a half, the ducks a quart, the 2 adult turkeys a quart, and the quineas and poult get a quart. I noticed that they aren’t as hungry when I feed them later...
One of my Copper Maran hens is acting funky. She attack my German shepherd puppy and one of my ducks. She won’t get off the nesting box and is sitting on six eggs. She has been doing this for 3 days. I thought(hoped) she is broody, so I wrote the date the eggs were payed on them so she doesn’t...

Just got three baby guineas! I’m sooo happy. Sold some quail for them. They are so sweet and cute. My questions are: Do they need a heat lamp? Can I put them with chickens and turkeys when they are older? How do you sex them?
I had a male peachick 7 months old drown in my water trough. My turkeys and chickens were all locked up and he was out. Sadly, Percy didn’t make it . That was about 2 weeks ago. Well, a week ago, some of my friends were over, and we all were talking in the pen with the goats and poultry. One of...
