I just found my Ameraucana in the coop in a corner, I thought she was just relaxing but when I got close she tried to get away, but she couldn't. Her legs wont carry her at all, and she just flops around on the ground. After I picked her up I noticed she had what appears to be prolapsing going...

Hi there folks! We have 27 li'l three-four week old ducklings of various breeds, we know we have several runner ducks, one itty bitty mallard, a few blue Swedish, pekings, and for the rest we are stumped. One of them is so skinny compared to any other duckling, he seems fine, eats and is...

Hi there, I have 14 baby pullets, all 3-4 weeks old, various breeds. Monday morning when I went to let them out of the coop this one pullet, couldn't walk on her left leg..she kept on falling over driving her face straight into the dirt...of course I though she broke her leg ( I have had...

..and I see movement when candling the eggs..what do I do? I made a makeshift incubator on my counter with a towel, moistened from water, a heat lamp, keeping temp. at 99.5 degrees..what else do I do? I have no clue as to how the momma died..she wasn't in the coop this afternoon and after...

I have a RiR hen that got attacked by a dog today. She is pretty bad off..not much for skin/feathers left on her neck..just flesh, she almost looks like a nakedneck chicken...also got an area above her tail feathers that are raw/fleshy. What chance do you think she have in recouperating? I have...

I have a buff orpington, about 9 months old, that the last two days have acted a little off. She has been sitting in the coop while the other ones are out pecking, she rather sleep on the ground then perch...so I did some investigating and found her bottom very swollen, not under her vent but...

..and some weezing too. Her wattles look like balloons and are very warm to the touch. She weezed when I picked her up and her mouth seems goopy, like the saliva (if they have that..lol) is thick. I know it might sound weird but if you have any clue please let me know. My flock just moved her...

I have a few questions and concerns with my little coop of hens. I have 5 hens that are now about 18-24 months, and they have been good egglayers up until two months ago or so. My two welsummers came into molt first, loosing almost all their feathers, looking like they were dying, now they look...

I have 5 hens all about the same age, I don't know for sure but about 12-15 months old. One of my welsummers looks like she was put into the dryer, about 50% of her feathers are gone, even tail feathers and when I looked at her yesterday all of them are coming in again in new follicles. Is this...

I have these two little white leghorns. They love to fly over the fence that keeps the run from the rest of the yard..So yesterday when I went to close the coop up for the night, I was missing them...I looked everywhere in the dark with a flash light, couldn't find them. Freaking out I ran to go...

I wanted to post some pics of Otis. He is now 4 months old and doing great. He is definitely a different dog than my Dachshund and Schnorkie, in a good way and in a not so bad but drive me crazy kind of way. The most positive thing...no barking..none what so ever, this breed doesn't bark. the...

I just wanted to share some more pictures of my new love Otis. He is our 4 month old Basenji pup and he is absolutely lovely. He just got to meet the chickens the other day and he does not know what to think of them...almost a little scared...funny.. Enjoy, Kycklingmamma

Today we made the decision to let our 3 runner ducks move to a farm about 30 minutes north of here, where they will have not one but two ponds to play in and love. It was a hard decision to make but in the longrun I believe the chickens in my coop will be happier and I know that the ducks will...

I have three Fawn and White Runner Ducks for sale in Northwest Houston, TX. They are 8-9 weeks old and have been living outside for about 3-4 weeks now. I only looking to basically rehome them for a nominal fee, buy me a bag of chicken feed and we will call it even. They are really sweet and fun...

We have a mutt, Chowchow/Dalmation/ Lab, named Lou. He is 11 years old and the last couple of months he has gone downhill as far as his health. He was diagnozed with hypothyroidism a month and a half ago, and today he was diagnozed with a braintumor. Has anybody had this happen to their dog...

I have an "Ameracauna" chicken that is almost 7 weeks old. I just noticed today that the feathers on the back of her head is "flipping out" kind of funny. Is this what they call muffs or eartufts? I have another Ameracauna, a pullet and she doen't have it, I actually think she is a EE or mutt...

So yesterday we had a lovely, warm spring day here in Houston so we decided to let the girls and boys out to play. They are now all 6 weeks old, even the ducks, they all came from Ideal in early March. They have been outside before, but never "freerange" so this was a first and boy did they like...

Is there really a need to leave food out for ducks at night? I have three runner ducks, 6 weeks old, and they have been out in my coop for a week now. Do I need to have them be able to eat in the dark of night or will the be OK until morning without food?. They make such a huge mess, and it...
