I don’t post here as much as I want to, but I figured to start a post that I update whenever I remember it exists. For now, I definitely want to show off my silkies! Given all—except one—are white, I’ve named them… more generically. The tall boy is Cloud! He’s a little shy and has no idea...

Thank you so much! 😭 The both of you!

Thank you! It was all I could do, and was recommended when I looked it up. I’m very hesitant on using human supplements without second opinions, but now I know it’s safe to use. So again, thank you!

I had one chicken with wry neck, and now I have two. I’m not sure what’s going on or what could be going on. I’ve been giving the first chicken sunflower and pumpkin seeds to up her Vit. E intake and it seems to help. She’s been improving slowly, but not at a pace I’m content with. Both chickens...

I live in the very southern parts of Ontario, south of London—in Chatham-Kent. I need a veterinarian, but can’t find any clinics that take in poultry! I cannot go to Windsor, and there’s a slim chance that I can head as far as London. Does anyone know of any vets that see poultry in the...

Thank you! I think I’ll be taking her to a vet today if I can find one that handles poultry. She’s eating and drinking on her own so long as she can find it, so at least that’s good. 😅

She temporarily stops moving her neck as she slowly falls asleep. Finally checked her ears and I do see lice.

She’s scratching a lot. Definitely can pick her head up, she just keeps tossing it around.

Click here I uploaded a video to yt!

Not sure what’s going on! Definitely urgent as she’s not eating! It’s so sad, because she’s preening herself and yet her head is being thrown around like a rag doll. I will say she does have lice unfortunately, but I’m so unsure what’s going on? She’s moving or trying to and stuff she just won’t...

Uh, black! Just kidding! I can’t remember what breed my two girls are! I will have to ask the people I got them from again!

Not much of a question post, but a celebration for me! I’ve never raised turkeys before, nor other poultry aside from chickens fully. So I’m extremely excited about today! I went out to check on my two lovely ladies and found these on the ground! They’ve successfully made it to being ~7...

Ah, I see! I currently don’t have a tom, just two hens! No idea how this’ll turn out eventually…

What sort-of problems? They hang out with my rooster and hen(chicken). Only have had them for a few months and not their whole lives. Both happy they like me but also, how do I politely reject her offer? When I said I wanted them to love me, I didn’t mean romantically. 😔

I think I already know what it means, I’d just like confirmation. She thinks I’m a tom, doesn’t she? AKA this is mating behaviour? If that’s the case, this makes two birds who want me. Neither of which being the same gender. I am both a tom and a hen now.

Just that day she started doing it! It was her first batch of babies. For a chicken that went broody a week after starting to lay eggs entirely, she didn’t do half-bad with this bunch. Just wished she didn’t make me have to put 13 chicks in a 4ft x 2ft brooder.

Yeah! Hen has been around my rooster since she was a chick—my rooster is normally a sweetheart with chicks, but can also be a dick, as expected. Hen’s chicks have also somewhat been around my rooster and turkeys before too. If it’s just weaning, that’s okay! I moved the babies into a brooder...

She seemed to have decided their life was done too! 😭 She genuinely wouldn’t stop pecking and grabbing at them. It was interesting.

They hatched Nov. 1st.

Not sure if this is the place to put this, but oh well. Strange thing happened today. It’s nice out so I let my hen and her chicks outside for a bit. Rooster came over, which is normal, but then she started attacking and chasing her chicks? It was so sudden! She grabbed one by the tail and held...
