Not entirely sure if this goes here. Just today I noticed dead worms in my hens poop. So I got my parental out. Problem is the instructions are to worn off to read. How much parental per gallon should go in their waterers?
I am used to the amount of food that large rabbits like newzealands and giant chinchillas. But I got a couple smaller Holland lops, and need to know how much per lop that I should be giving them. I also have a dwarf mixed rabbit that is over weight and need to know the proper feed amount for a...
This morning around 9 am I took the older chicks out to the covered penn for the second time in their lives. I had just closed the pen and settled down to watch them when out of the blue, a young hawk swoops down about four ft in front of me and slams into the side of the pen after the chicks.😳...
We got a 2 yr old hen from a friend several days ago. They said they don't know her breed. Looks leghornish but doesn't fit the size for a white leghorn.
I had a hen that was broody for a exile. We had to break her because she wasn't eating enough and we noticed how weak she was getting. She couldn't even stand and walk without losing balance. When she stood she stood with her front end in a downward position. We separated her and she got better...
We have a bad rat infestation. We have started picking up food at night several weeks ago. The rats have become desperate and are killing our chickens, so we closed them up completely at night as well. Now recently they chewed their way into our rabbit hutch and killed one of our big bucks! (We...
As mentioned above, we hatched a polish chick with a fused foot. It can bend the ankle normally and walk normally, but could there possibly be any future complications caused by this mutation?
We hatched to sell and I wanted to keep her for breeding but now that I see that I realize that's not...
I'm looking to get a rabbit. Looking for certain breeds, and I told them the breeds I'm looking into. I asked them to show me pics and price. And this is what they showed me for 50$. I have recently seen rabbits for 25$ dollars that are pure bred pet quality that look better then this one. Poor...
I do a lot of arts and crafts, some painting, some carving, some drawing, and some digital. I recently did a few digital scenes, and they made me want to start this thread. Please feel free to share your own artwork here to.
We have been battling these rats for close to two years now and it seems like their only getting s.arter. we have tried live traps, jaw traps (worked once on a mouse only), and poison (worked on two mice, and one rat just recently). Can anyone recommend any really good affordable rat traps...
A few days ago one of my bantams hurt her leg. She was definitely feeling pain from it by the way she refused to put any weight on it and just hopped around. Immediately pulling it back up if she did accidently put weight on it. We took her in for rest and to search for injuries. There was blood...
Recently I found one of my d'uccle banty hens with a pretty bad eye infection and treated her with eye medication and antibiotic. Her eye improved to the point where she can open it mostly with ease and theirs no more puss coming from it. But it is faded and there is no reaction from that side...
It was raining hard all day today. Most the chickens stayed inside or under cover all day. Even the ditsy turkeys did. So much to my surprise, tonight when I went and closed up, I found this girl outside of cover roosting on the ramp just a foot away from the coop entrance. It looked like she...
I am willing to some of my extra standard egg layer hens, and extra banty adolescents for two or three muscovy hens. I will give pics and specific breeds in the morning.
We heard that muscovies are great at catching flies. We had a horrible ti.e with the flies, having multiple animals getting fly strike for no reason and having swarms of flies everywhere. So when I read that muscovies are good at catching them, we decided we wanted to find a pair of hens. Does...
