Hi! My hens have all been doing wonderfully, and all are now producing! The problem is that one of them, Archimedes I think (the latest to produce), has laid some unusual eggs. One was entirely shell-less, just yolk on the ground. The other three had a very soft, weak membrane instead of a...

Hi there! I've recently come into ownership with two ringneck doves, one wild type and one bulleyed white, I believe! I've always wanted doves, so this is a dream come true. They were surrendered to my friend's workplace, and he asked me if I could take them in. Does anyone have any tips on...

There’s a little nest in my hibiscus... Look inside and you see...... Babas!!!!! Saw the momma recently, seems to be a scrub jay nest. Three little eggos! She did a good job! I’ll be checking on the nest every other day to see if some peeps have hatched. Once they have, I’ll try to take...

This is a bit weird, and I’m not sure where else to post this thread but here. I’m very interested in physical deformations and dysmorphology. I was wondering if anyone has any good reading material (or even first-hand experiences!!!) with physical deformations in chickens? I’m primarily...

Hi! My chicks have been doing lovely, and I’m looking to start rewarding their good behavior when I have them out socializing with me! What are some snacks and treats I could give them? They seem to like millet a lot! I decided on a whim to try cracking some to offer them (I have it on-hand for...

One of my chicks passed away yesterday, here's the full story: I returned home from school to find it laying on the floor. At first, I suspected it wasn't breathing, but when I picked it up, I noticed it was still breathing and was doing something odd; it seemed to be gagging, struggling to...

Hi! My name is Fritz! Today I finally made the big choice to purchase my own chickens! I’m gonna answer the template, then share a bit more about myself! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? > Very new! I actually just got mine today. 💞 (2) How many chickens do you...
