Okay.. this guinea (possibly a chicken Guinea mix) hatched out sometime today. Problem 1 : momma broody was off the nest today Problem 2 : baby is definitely injured.. not sure if it got pecked, was born deformed, or what. Either way, the leg IS broken. It bends at weird angles and just seems...

Hi, I am posting this question for my mom... My horses and chickens/ducks live on her property and she has certain areas around the fence and home that she needs to get rid of weeds.. One spot is in between the stepping stones of her sidewalk, the other is around the fence line of the horse...

This baby just hatched and his mom abandoned himbecause his uumbilical cordwas still stuck to the membrane of the egg. HELP!?! What do I do and how do I do it without hurting him??

I felt sorry for the babies at TSC and bought the last three bantams in the bin because it was almost closing and I doubted anyone else wanted em. Anyway, turns out one of them is much smaller than the others. He won't eat or drink, won't walk unless forced, he has black and green runny poos...

Okay so after two days of decreasing activity by this girl, I realized she wasn't just tired. She was sleeping on the floor with my silkies instead of the 4 foot top roost like her sister. Something is definitely wrong. I stand her up, she stands indefinitely. I lay her down, she doesn't get up...

My dog decided to trip me up while I was carrying eggs to candle them for the last time before Momma put them on lockdown... I dropped and cracked one of the eggs. The baby is still alive as far as I can tell so I put the egg in the incubator and cranked up the humidity. I removed all the other...

When I first bought this cockerel, he had a bunch of junk in his eye (dirt and what looked like hair). I carefully got it all out with a damp cloth. His inner eyelid was swollen and his eye in general was droopy. I seperated him from the others just in case but I figured that it was just from...

One of my super sweet RIR pullets, Cadbury, had crooked toes as a baby and I was not able to fix them while she was young enough for them to be pliable. She did just fine until today, when I started noticing her limping on her bad foot. I looked at her foot and where the toes are rubbing the...

I went out to the coop this morning, expecting to find a few eggs in the nesting basket.... Instead I found one hard-shelled egg, completely covered in poo under the roost and one soft shelled egg, also under the roost... My girls get free choice of oyster shell and crushed up egg shells so Im...

This rooster showed up at my boss's house and has taken up residence. No one seems to know where he came from or what he is... Can you help? Thanks Lenore

I have a hen and am looking for a roo to breed her with. Im in lower NC, near Charlotte and am going to Chickenstock so it is an option to meet there. PM me with a pic if you have a boy you're looking to sell. Thanks, Lenore

My broody had 12 eggs to start with. Three got eaten and one disappeared, leaving her with eight. Well when the others hatched, I moved her out to the tractor where she will live with them untill they are old enough not to need heat. I was cleaning out the dog cage she hatched in, and found the...

Im looking to get a turkey or two to raise for dinner. On average, how long does it take them to mature to a good slaughtering age? Im in NC and I have chickens, Ive heard that they can transmit disease, what do I need to watch out for? Whats a good breed, I know its mostly preference but any...

If I can get rid of all my extra roosters, my mom said I can have a couple Guinea hens for tick/mosquito control. Now my questions are: 1 Will they need different food? Im currently feeding mine Purina Flock Raiser cause I have a few that arent quite laying age yet but then I will switch to...

One of my Silkie hens and her boyfriend live in a tractor outside all the time because they get picked on by my big red roo. At 11 this morning when I checked on them, they were fine. As of 3:30, my hen was huddled in the corner of the nest box, her head was bobbing and shes very...

Her comb is very dark, almost the same mulberry color as my Silkies comb. I've been told her friend to the left is a Wheaten OEGB. If anyone can tell me what she is, I'd be so grateful. If you need a different pic, let me know. Thanks, Lenore.

It is a side by side fridge/ freezer so I'm not sure if you guys can still use it for an incubator conversion but I figured I'd give it a shot. It is right by Pageland SC or Marshville (Monroe) NC. Not sure what a good price is so I really just guessed. PM me with questions or if you're...

One of my Frizzle kids top beak is growing to the left while the bottom is staying straight. I need any advice you can give me... I would really love if someone could call or video chat me and walk me through how to trim his beak down as I am a visual learner and I feel like I'd do better if I...

I got a rabbit, he's definitely a mutt though. But thats okay cause hes not for breeding or for eating so hes just there to be cute and cuddly. Hes not quite warmed up to me yet but the more I bring him food, the more he will venture out of his cage to come see me. So I was just wondering, what...
