Theres a young goat at the pound and we are thinking about adopting it. I know goats are herd animals and do best with other goats or atleast livestock for company but if we keep the goat as part of the family along with our 3 dogs, 2 cats and chickens, will it be fine? If it gets along with the...

Today i took some scraps down to the chicken run and i noticed the brush turkey who has been building a giant mound in the bush a few metres from the run. So I went and sat on a rock near his mound and watched him continue to tend to it, trying to impress the non present brush turkey ladies. My...

One of my budgies has recently gotten really noticeably fat. I weighed the other budgie (although keeping in mind that its a lot younger) and it was 29 grams compared to the overweight one which is 78 grams. Over a few days she has lost 4 grams as i am making her do some exercise out of the cage...

A few nights ago we discovered a litter of about 4 baby rats in our chicken coop as the mother was screeching quite loudly so we lifted a tile to find out what was making the noise. Last night our regular visitor a diamond python was lying across the tile and when it moved into the corner of the...

Our chicks are about 6 and a half week old and we have run out of chick starter feed. As it is christmas/new year time, the feedstore wont be open for about a week. We have a bag of pullet food but is it too early to feed them that?

We were planning on having chicks so left the eggs with the chickens for about a week until there was at least 21 eggs in the nest box though there is no sign of broodiness in the hens. So we took them out, fed a few of the dirty ones to the chickens and took the rest. Are they still good to eat...

We have had our hens for nearly a year now, two were given to us and two were rescued including our rooster. One of the light Sussex that was given to us has been stretching her neck and making a loud "TOCK" sound and shaking her head whenever she eats the layer mash, ever since we had her. I...

Tonight I found one of my hens lying on the floor of the coop. When i picked her up she just froze and i could hear growling, swishing noises coming from her stomach? Then she just urinated. No poop just urine. I put her in a cat carrier and took her inside the house Then she urinated more in...

I have a female budgie who seems lonely so I would like to get her a friend. I have looked everywhere and no one seems to be selling or giving away adult budgies. She is about 3 years old and I found someone selling their 7 month old male budgie with its cage. Is that to young to introduce to my...

I have a friend who found a young budgie and is now keeping it in a really small "canary" cage. I told her that it wont be able to flap its wings or fly in that cage and it would be unhappy. While I was holding the bird she said that we could keep it if her parents let her. I would put it with...

At the moment we have one 5 day old chick with its mother in a brooder in our bathroom. Now that the hen has left the two remaining eggs and with the chick, have started wandering about the bathroom and scratching around making a mess, I was wondering when I could let mamma hen take her chick...

Occasionally I see my 3 day old chick stretch it's neck and open its beak like it is choking. Other than that it is drinking and eating fine except the mother hen seems like she is teaching the chick to eat the pine shavings. She will pick the shavings up then drop it for the chick and sometimes...

After 21 days only one chick has hatched under my broody hen. It Is now day 23 and there are still four eggs that haven't hatched. I'm worried that the mother may abandon them soon to look after her chick. If the mother does leave the eggs, what could I do to help hatch them without an incubator?

Our Australorp hen has been broody for about 5-7 days now and she just will not give up. We have put her in a bucket of water a few times a day, put a cold pack under her, taken the eggs away every day, locked her outside in the run with the other chickens for pretty much the whole day and...

After removing an egg a day because we didn't intend to have chicks and trying to break her out of her broodiness, our Australorp is still determined to hatch some babies. The other three hens are not laying at all an now Ebony is only sitting on one egg. We have decided to let her hatch her own...

This is my first RP, hope you like it :) Street Dogs, Life in the City Dozens of stray dogs fill the streets of the busy city. They are thin, homeless and starving Humans pass daily not even bothering to take a second look at the hungry eyes watching below. Cars zoom across the roads at a...

after months of bonding, i have just caught a stray rabbit. It is currently in a cat carrier and i just need to know what to feed it. I understand that if i feed it too much fruit and veggies straight away it could get sick. Should i just wait till tomorrow to go to the pet shop and get it food...

my friend and I were talking about breeding a litter of rabbits. She got really caught up in the idea while I kind of was concerned about bringing more rabbits into this all ready rabbit populated world. Well we went to the local pet feed store and met two gorgeous lop eared bunnies that if we...

One of my isa browns,may, will sometimes wander away from the group when out of their run. Also she used to be friendly and I was able to handle her but now she won't allow me to go anywhere near her unless I have food. Would this be caused by stress from our rooster?
