I have 5 guineas. i have had them for a year but do not really know how many male or female. I have heard the different sounds, I think but I am not sure which ones are male or female. I have 1 pearl that constantly chases 1 pied guinea. It is kinda funny to watch. The pearl never catches the...
My hen was limping. I read everything I could find about bumble foot. This is what I did.
Soaked her feet in epsom salt
This is what I got out of her foot.
And this is how I wrapped her foot.
My questions are...
What causes this?
Are there pre-warning signs?
Do I do the procedure on every...
Hi, I am looking for a frizzle roo for my flock. I live in central Ohio. I have been looking for the past year and have not come across one. Any advice? Does not have to be show quality. Just a back yard pet. I have 15 hens of various breeds.
I am sooooo MAD. Only one week left to go! this is where she laid her nest.

Ok, I have a duck. This winter she was chased away by a dog and gone for a week. She came back with both her feet frost bitten as well as her beak. I kept her indoors for 6 weeks, cleaning medicating and pampering. She lost most of one foot before I put her out side and was able to kind of...
Ok, I have this polish hen, I believe she is a hen. She squats when I come up to her and follows me around every where.........but sometimes she runs up on me kicking me. At first I thought well maybe she just does not see well and ran into me. Today I let my little puppy( 1.5 lbs) out in...
This morning I woke to a totally different sound, my rooster is cockle doodle doing with a horse voice? Can they catch colds? He looks fine, eating and drinking. No runny nose or anything that I can tell. What else should I check for?

I was born on MLK day. Thats how I got my name!
I was the only duckling to hatch out of six eggs in the first time home made bator!
