we lost a few chickens and im wanting to replace some polish. chicks or older, just as long as they are female. Any type of polish or sultan or pretty top hat. ideally, I would like to pick up from someone within and hour from berkely co. wv.. thanks, louisa

she is about 4 years old. no other chickens are sick. i thought she was being deprived of food , as she is at the bottom of the pecking order. we brought her in, and she just stands in the cage, falls over alot, barely eats or drinks. she seems to have watry poo. wings are hanging down, she...

long story short, weve had a rash of raccoon break ins, my husband trapped them, and we thought it was over. well, 2 days ago 2 polish chicks went missing, thought they were gone, but we found them today stuck and smashed behind a nest box! they are still alive but look terrible. i will post...

coon tried to pull a silky chick, 7 weeks old , through the poultry mesh yesterday evening. he hurt the chick pretty bad, but didnt rip it apart like he did the others the night before. we caught him this time. i think the wings are broken, as hey are dragging. and its just sitting there all...

i think a possum was the culprit. we have some silkies we hatched out, about 7 weeks old, and 2 of them turned out to be polish silkie mixes, the cutest little weird ugly birds you ever saw. one had cross beak and died, and 1 was doing great! this morning we went out to the coop, and it seems 2...

im almost certain this is a duck egg, its HUGE. my chikkies and duckles are in together and so i guess technically it doesnt HAVE to be a ducks egg. ive been waiting and waiting, and its past time someone should lay. this egg looks like a duks egg, its very large, and wide, but its a pinkish...

we have a silver laced cochin roo who ha s always gotten along with all the other birds including our brahma roo and our ancona duck pair. the last few days the ducks have specifically targeted him, they chase himm, bite him, corner him and attack him, they somtimes will not allow him out of the...

ok, so im a newb, this is our first year with ducks, weve done PLENTY of chickens but never ducks untill this year. weve got 2 ancona ducks, pretty sure they are a pair, to start out with. we have learned alot but i still dont know enough! the drake, patches, is just eating and eating all these...

thats pretty much the question.

is this true? ive had ducks for about 6 months now. 2 ancona ducks, spot and patches. they live with and in amongst our chickens and are very happy. (they are racist though, just a little, because they wont snuggle up with the chickens at night or eat with them). i had hoped we had at least 1...

does anyone know why some of my bo hens have big red floppy combs and some have almost no comb at all and they are a lighter shade, more pinky. and the pinky no combs are also a lighter color golden than my big shimmery ones. just thinking about it tody. there is a real difference between the...

this guy, (and im not 100% sold on guy) came in a hatchery surprise in the early spring. hes laced on the belly, patchy on top, has a very fluffy grey chicken butt, and long green tail feathers, like the kelloggs rooster, he is single comb and also has earlobes. so i really think hes a he, but...

so the other day my husband went out and 4 buff orps were just lying there dead. they had no evidence of injury or attack. no missing feathers or blood. no sign of illness or disease, just looked like they sat down, and died. you know how a hen sets, they looked like that , with their heads down...

so, the silkie bantam died. it was 6 weeks old and doing well, then this morning my 11 year old dd came running into the house hysterically sobbing. it was rainy, but its been rainy and he was fine, but he was just laying on the ground outside of the coop. i really think he was on the bottom of...

it struts around and flies a little, really holds its own. its soooo much smaller than the other birds because its a bantam, but its just got this pathetic little scrawny neck and just loooks so weird. im afraid every morning it will be dead, but is vigarous and loud out in the coop. well, just...

i cant find them anywhere. im looking all over the place, but i must be missing something. ive looked on all the county websites, in wv code, all over, but i cant find them. i can find hundreds of info an barking dog ordinances and , dog laws, and permits for agricultural...

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/grd/1678027069.html i will admit, i am a chicken addict. so i got a little excited when i saw these. but no pics in the ad? i dont know. good price? sound kosher? THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS PLEASE!

ok, so i got some brahmas. they are supposed to be quiet, docile and friendly. i have some baby buff orpingtons that i am also brooding indoors. i have had lots of BOs , nice, friendly birds. my brahma roo, only 3 weeks old mind you, is super agressive, very vocal, loud and will peck down any...

my husband had pekins growing up, he doesnt remember anything about when or if anyone bothered to sex them. we have ancona ducks, our first ducks. weve been doing the chicken thing for some time, but now we are trying our hands at ducks. we sold a slew of khaki campbells that we got in a...
