Hi everyone, I have a 3 month old Brahma Rooster that we hatched and raised and noticed last month as we came out in the morning to feed the chooks he was sitting but couldn't get up and walk, within the same day he was well again and walked as per normal. A couple of days ago (almost a month...

Polly is hatching some goslings right now, one hatched yesterday but today there is a slightly weird smell that is worrying me :^( it’s not a rotten egg smell though I’m not exactly sure what it is - another egg is hatching and I’m worried it may be that, it seems to be mid hatch and i would...

Hi - I have five silkies. Three are laying and two are still young at about 2 months. I have two Eglu Go coops. The three older ones usually go into one and the two younger ones are supposed to go into the second one. The younger ones just decided they wanted to integrate themselves into the...

I while back I posted about my broody hen and how she was so eager to hatch. Since that day she has still been broody and I have no Idea what to do. I have taken her eggs then have let her laid them, i've separated her then put her back, I've even hand fed her in fear that she'll starve. She...

Posted this on chicks but was advised to post it here. Hi all! I run a poultry farm and have hatched hundreds of eggs, and I’ve finally run into a first. I have a duck egg with high priority (laid by a now passed duck of importance to us) who is on day 41 with no pip or any indication of one...

Guys, I need help. I'm getting a rabbit and planning on showing him this and next year a few times, but I'm not sure how the face markings should be for a tricolor holland lop. What markings/marking placement on the face would disqualify or penalize a rabbit?

We had a 3 week old jersey giant seemingly choke to death. He was struggling to breathe but no obvious reason. Acted like it was choking. This morning we lost a 2 week old turkey chick but this one had food in its mouth. It was fine then my daughter went out maybe an hour later and it was...

Hi all! I run a poultry farm and have hatched hundreds of eggs, and I’ve finally run into a first. I have a duck egg with high priority (laid by a now passed duck of importance to us) who is on day 41 with no pip or any indication of one. We’ve hatched many ducklings and I incubated this one the...

Hello, i’m new to chickens and this is my first chick. I’m pretty sure it’s a female, (if not please correct me), but I’m not sure what her breed is.

My almost 3 year old accidentally held the poor little chick too hard. This happened while I was taking care of pasty butts of three other little ones right next to her. As I look over I discovered that the chick was almost limp. I immediately removed the chick out of her hand and checked if...

one of my female pigs gave birth unexpectedly. And I think she's have problems and don't know when she start but. Now she is shaking and crying, and I worried something is wrong. Any help please

I got bantam chicks about 2 days ago now and tonight one seemed to have choked on the crumble feed, she was standing tall stretching her neck out with her eyes closed and shaking her head around. I opened her mouth to look inside and there was a clump of feed that had mushed together in the back...

Hi everyone, I’m new to chicks, chickens and chicken keeping. I bought 10 Red Production chicks last Friday from a place close to my home. By the following Thursday 4 died and I went back and got replacement chicks, that are now a week behind my current chicks. They are RIR and Americana chicks...

Hi there, I'm definitely needing some help from anyone and everyone right now. I'm very concerned over my 5 year old Jumbo Pekin Cracker, as she came out of the coop this morning with her 3 year old sister and has been acting very weird. She's had a little limp for a bit now but today it seems...

I need help ASAP. I have this 1-2 year old silkie and she has been fine until now. This morning she was her usual active self, eating, drinking everything. I came back from school and I find her isolated and in position to lay, which isn't odd since she's a hen. But she stood up and pooped this...

Hi all, new chicken owner here! I have an 8 week old showgirl who had scabs on her neck from dry pox which have started to fall off. Now she is sneezing, hardly eating/drinking, and shaking her head. I did see her eat and drink a little bit not as much as the others. She's not as active as she...

Does any one know any chicken breeders in central florida near the Orlando and Oviedo area? Thanks!

Hi folks! We have just recently moved our 6 hens into a larger movable run, we have had sunshine and it’s began to feel like spring However something weird has happened to their behaviour, they won’t stop preening themselves and they are very quiet, I’ve never known them like this. Is it because...

hello, About a month ago a very tiny baby duckling appeared where I work. Apparently had been wandering around with no mother to be seen for a few days. I have two geese, so I took it home and provided it the proper care. My plan was (and is) to let him go, as I cannot maintain a duck in...
