    My parakeets leg suddenly went limp. What’s going on?

    Depending on if your bird is female or male- sudden left paralysis can often be caused from an egg pushing on a nerve or a testicular tumor pushing on nerve.

    Everything House Chicken!

    Diapers are great for when they’re roaming around. But if he finds a specific spot he likes to hangout then you can modify it for easy clean up. Pretty much what I did with my chickens spot she likes on my dresser.

    Anyone gotten the implant to stop a duck from laying?

    Expect to see some changes after the implant starts working. Decrease in food intake and being less active can be some side effects but I actually work at a vet hospital with an avian specialist that’s board certified so this is how I have so much experience with this! we use the deslorelin...

    Anyone gotten the implant to stop a duck from laying?

    Yes implants (deslorelin) can help shut down your ducks reproductively. I use for my chicken/hen (lasted 8 months but can last 6-12month avg) but then when she was getting broody and laid an egg after 8 months I got another Implant put in.

    Hormonal Implanta and Bumblefoot. My gal can’t catch a break.

    Is your vet using deslorelin implants? We have had huge success with them. My hen at almost 3 started having trouble laying, ended up with egg yolk peritonitis in which she developed a heart murmur from! We treated with Clavamox for 30 days, deslorelin implant and now she is all better. The...

    Everything House Chicken!

    Pebbles was a craigslist treasure. She was supposed to be outside but at only 340g, no one got a long with her and after a couple weeks of trying to acclimate her, I gave up. She sleeps on my dresser on her Fleece blanket at night, wears diapers when I’m home, has a solid bottom cage with a...

    House chicken

    I have an indoor bantam. I get all of her diapers from pamperedpoultry.com. They are easy to get on, and easy to wash.

    Coturnix and chicken roommates?

    Can you house coturnix quail with chickens? Just let them run around the coop and such ? I only see people housing them in small hutches. I tried to filter thru some posts to find their housing explained but couldn’t really find anything that answered my questions. Thanks!

    Stray chicken, what kind ??

    the police department brought this gal in to my work (vet hospital) they found her running around the streets and no one knew where she came from. We are thinking about adopting her if we can’t find her home. What kind is she ? She has really tall legs and has a pheasant like shape to her.

    ISO faverolle/d’uccle hen OHIO

    Looking for one hen to be friends with my current polish bantam hen. Pet only. These are my favorite but any other bantam hens available I would be interested in. I am on the west side of Columbus, willing to travel 1-2 hours for our new family member. Thank you!

    Butterscotch OEG bantam ???

    One of my polish girls passed so I got my remaining girl an OEG bantam friend. The guy I got her from said she was Butterscotch. Is this a thing? She was hatching last spring. I just can’t find anything about this color chicken anywhere.

    How do you house a house chicken !?

    She wears diapers when running around the house. Works well but not something I would keep on a chicken all day. My other chickens are free range during daylight hours and have really done well with this little one- which I was not expecting!! My friend is designing a leg for her and using a...

    How do you house a house chicken !?

    Thanks for the suggestions. She spends every evening outside with my other chickens, atleast 3-4 hours and that's only because she is still young, and disabled- I want to keep a close eye on her. My goal is for her to be outside all day. She is also friends with my dogs. So when she is indoors...
