I don't even know what to look up to figure this out. My roommate found this in/on a pile of chicken poop.

I just got necropsy results back from my peachick that was failing to thrive. I've attached the full report but the overall result is: The technician suggested a broad-spectrum wormer for the rest of the flock. He deals primarily with chickens so I figured I'd follow up here for specifics on...

thanks in advance! added a better picture of her tail

We bought 2 white peachicks that are hypothetically only a week or so old but one is definitely a bit older than that (more feather development). He mostly kind of stands around huddled and closes his eyes a lot and just kind of rocks back and forth some almost like hes dozing off. His toes are...

Sorry if this has already been discussed. I have a hen with chicks, and she has started laying eggs again. She was attacked by a dog a couple/few days ago - shes fine, treated for shock, might be concerned about feather loss if it was winter, but honestly she's doing great. The day after she...

Nevermind

Hi! I'm too distracted to do this paragraph style so I'll just answer all the questions. 1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) American Game/Orpington barnyard mix. Not old and I dont think it's her first spring laying but I...

Meet Martha, she is Whiting True Blue (i.e. "designer breed" cross between Ameraucana & a production white layer that McMurry sells) born in May last year. She is a full-sized chicken and doesnt seem lighter than the others. One of her feet is obviously swollen. I assumed it was bumblefoot...

I have a mix of 3-month-old Whiting True Blue (WTB) and Whiting True Green (WTG) and 1 Mystery Chicken from McMurray. Mystery chick appears to be a Buff Cochin - fluffy feet, single comb, no extra toes. I also have 3 mystery female chickens from the feed store - they weren't meant to be mystery...

My "hens and chicks" succulent has made a zillion babies, and I have no idea what to do with them so I was considering growing them for my ladies. They free range a lot, but not every day so I thought they might like something to mess with when I don't let them out.

1) Whiting (new breed from McMurray), 6 wks, same size as ths others afaik 2) The typical curled toes / cant use legs thing that is probably Mareks. Bright, alert, eating and drinking on her own as long as its within reach without getting up. 3) Started yesterday. I saw her during the day laid...

I have identified this little guy as the freebie as everything I ordered should be clean-legged. His wings seem very small too. I assume hes a boy since he was free. Anyone have any guesses?

Hi! I received chicks in the mail about 24 hours ago from McMurray hatchery. 16 of the 17 seem great. 1 is smaller than the others and more lethargic. I noticed she was smaller yesterday and she just looks more fragile, but I didnt notice her acting differently until today. She's lethargic...

forgive the lack of information, I have basically none a rehabber friend was contacted about rehoming some ducklings whose mom was hit by a car I have no ducks of my own. I am not currently planning on getting ducks (no matter how much I joke about wanting them) are there any concerns...

Hello! Does anyone know anything about preserving eggs? I was looking mostly at water glassing - storing them in a water/ hydrated lime solution. But my SO seemed to be more drawn to the idea of coating them in mineral oil. Does anyone have any comparison of the two from personal (or...

I didnt see it on the sticky thread but if there's an existing thread with guidelines feel free to send me straight there! I've never actually chosen eggs to incubate before... it's just been up to my broodies and I've had crazy variability in hatch rate, obviously. I have a broody and I have a...

That's pretty much the question. Backstory: Today two of my cock/rells got into it with each other. The cock instigated it, but the cockrell was handedly winning. The cockrell walked off and a hawk came down on the presumably fairly injured cock, judging by the amount of the cock's blood on...

83.6g when I rarely even get large eggs from my girls. I only see one dark area in it so it doesn't look like a double yolk? But it seems too small to be a pea egg? I have 2 adult peahens and 1 that's under a year. it was in a place the chickens lay eggs but it's not a nesting box so there...

So I've looked at the very basics of IB peafowl genetics and have a basic understanding of genetics as a discipline. Any idea why he has 1 white (feather) eye?

I was doing some chicken watching this morning. One of Foghorn's ladies was over by the front of the house by herself and made some noises and Foghorn ran over and mounted her and then another hen made similar noises and he ran over to her, realized she was in a pen and came back to the first...
