My rooster was attack yesterday morning by a weasel. When I took a closer look at him I notice one of his eyes were closed with a small red blob just on the outside of his eyelid. He shook his head and that fell off. I'm not sure if that was his eye or just some blood that had build up there. He...

Hello everyone! A few months ago I purchased of what I was told were saxony ducklings. Now they are 23 weeks old and they color on them doesn't look like it should be for saxony ducks. Are these saxony ducks or a different breed? Thanks in advance!

there's something wrong with my saxony hen. I just notice today that there seemed to be a bump on her back and when I felt it, it seemed that her spine vertebrate right by her hip was arched and a little twisted and crooked. She eats, drinks, walks, and swims fine.

Yesterday my dad found a possum head in our yard and I'm wondering what killed it and is it a threat to my chickens. Three of my chickens have died recently and I thought my flock turned cannibalistic. My chicken that died was practically nothing left of him. My second one had a little bit of...

I'm ordering hatching eggs from a hatchery and I'm really excited :) but I've read you have to let them sit for a day and then put them in an incubator. Is this true? I have never hatched shipped eggs before so any info on what to do after receiving shipped eggs is welcomed.

Hi I'm interested in getting Egyptian Fayoumis and I've read they are very hardy of heat, but how hardy are they in the cold? I live where the lowest temperature can be -5 or lower. I plan on putting a heat lamp in my coop just to keep the chickens i have now so there combs don't get frostbite...

Hi, this is the first time one of my chickens have got scissor beak and I have never dealt with this before. What is the easiest way to care for her? I have read other people use nail files but she is a little skittish and that might be stressful for her. I will post a picture of her tomorrow...
