Does anyone know what this is??? It is a firm lump under her beak.

Hello! My Bantam Cochin Hen has been limping for a week or so now. When she stands in place, she lifts the one leg. I have checked for bumble foot and that doesn't seem to be the case. She seemed completely fine otherwise, so I was hoping the issue would resolve itself. However, overt he past...

My 1-year-old Silkie Hen has had a swollen face the past few days. I just thought the mosquitos had gotten her, but I noticed today that she has thick white mucus in one of her eyes. And ideas as to what this could be? Should I separate her? Is it serious?

Hello! My Bantam Welsummer Roo needs rehoming in or near Austin, TX!!! He is absolutely gorgeous, but he is the youngster of the bunch and he is going to throw off our ratio in the flock. Does anyone need a roo for flock protection or just a lovely backyard lawn ornament? (he is the middle...

Hi! My hen is raising 3 chicks who are now 8 wks old. I am curious if you guys have any guesses on the sex? They are Cochin/Silkie mixes.

Hello! We bought a green duck diaper harness for our Cayuga hen back when she was alone and we thought we might need to keep her indoors with us until finding her a friend. Well, fast forward 3 months... The harness finally arrived and our duck also has a friend! We don't have a need for it...

My Bantam Cochin, Ethel, went broody on November 3rd so I let her brood a clutch of her own. She was only able to gather 3 eggs, but she has been the most devoted and mild tempered broody! Tomorrow is hatch day, so I thought I would document what we see so you can follow along! Parents: Blue...

My Bantam Cochin Has been sitting on a few eggs for the past 18 days. She has been doing great and has been a wonderful broody. I have put water and food in a small tray in her nesting box with her, so that she is able to take care of herself without having to go too far. I check on her every...

Two weeks ago, I bought 3 pullets from a friend. I have them quarantined in a separate coop from my existing flock, about 20 yds away for 1 month. When I got them, I noticed they seemed to have irregular BMs. They were showing some of the signs of Coccidiosis, so I treated them with Corid. I...

My 6 week old Welsummer Cockerel has been acting strange the past couple of days and I am wondering if anyone sees any red flags. The night temps have dropped here in Texas the past few nights, but only to the upper 50s. - He is usually very active when I let the birds out in the mornings, but...

This is my 4 week old Bantam EE, Jolene. I am pretty sure “she” is a cockerel. What do you think?

My little Bantam Cochin, Ethel, laid her first at 22 weeks!

Hello!! My Cayuga Hens are so attached to me. It’s cute, but also enough to drive us all insane. They get so loud any time I leave them, and now they are flattening themselves for breeding 🤦🏻‍♀️. I’ve heard if I get a drake for them, he will mellow them out and "keep them in line". For my fellow...

Yesterday, we received 6 baby chicks from Meyer hatchery. Yesterday afternoon I noticed one of the chicks acting very lethargic. I made sure she was getting water and hand fed her some growgel and yolk. She resisted everything. She wasn’t able to stand up on her own. Then, she started cheeping...

We will be selling one of our Cayuga hens. She is absolutely beautiful, very friendly, funny, and affectionate (for a duck at least)! She is 3.5 months old.

Anyone have a guess on the sex of these 2? They are 8 weeks old.

Help!!! My two 7-week-old Silkies have loose stool that is containing blood. Could this be Coccidiosis? I read that chicks are usually immune to Coccidiosis around 7-8 weeks of age. Is there anything else that it could be?! Please send any knowledge you have! One of these chicks is my favorite...

We have two 3-month-old cayuga (presumed) females. They are so fun and beautiful. We love them. However, one of them is particularly noisy. I expect the noise with ducks of course. She is only noisy when I walk away, or when I am behind a bush or something. Once she loses sight of me, she quacks...
