    Had to cull my first rooster

    I've not personally had to cull a rooster however I've had to deal with several chickens who were having to be put down due to medical reasons. While it might feel bad, I personally think you did the best thing. It's entirely possible your rooster could've severely injured or killed your...

    I can't tell what gender my mallards are, could anyone please help me identify it?

    So I've got two mallards. I'm almost sure they're male and females, however I can't tell which is which. One has a more high pitched, I'd say pippy kind of quack. While the other has a more deeper, almost raspy seeming one. I'd normally assume that means the first is female and the latter would...

    Ducklings suddenly dying and I can't figure out why

    Nope. The only thing aside from new water, which was the same filtered well water I use for all of my birds, I had just recently changed their bedding, however it was the same bag of woodchips I'd used for them earlier this week.

    Ducklings suddenly dying and I can't figure out why

    Hello. I've been raising six ducklings as of late, who are around the age of around two and a half weeks old. However I've had them for around two weeks myself. I've got medicated duckling food and I check their food and water multiple times a day, along with making sure their heat lamp isn't...

    Chicken having seizure, likely due to epilepsy??

    Hello, I have a 4 and a half month old Mile Fleur D'Uccle. I was fixing a light by my chicken's pen and it flashed for about eight to ten seconds. My chickens freaked out from it, even though I was 10 to 15 feet away. And one of my favorite chickens, my only Mile Fleur D'Uccle started flapping...

    Young silkie is having an issue walking

    I've got several young silkies right now. Unexpectedly ,one of my most lovely and friendly white ones is having issues walking on her left leg. I don't know why, her leg appears to be fine, nothing out of place or new. It's not swollen. But whenever she walks, she doesn't appear to be able to...

    I made a mistake about a holding area and don't know what to do.

    I used a large tub that I found in our storage room and a 25 watt incandescent light that I had in where I keep the lightbulbs. I'll update sometime later tomorrow...er, well, today. Ha. I've given them food and water in chick feeders also. So, I believe they'll be fine. I also made sure the...

    I made a mistake about a holding area and don't know what to do.

    I'll not make the same mistake again, I haven't put them into a box or anything yet though. I've just been keeping them warm while holding them inside some old rags. Which I believe I said earlier. They're all currently doing just fine, all of them are sleeping right now. I'll make sure to work...

    I made a mistake about a holding area and don't know what to do.

    Well, today. I went out and bought some 4-5 week old, full sized chicks. And I got 20 of them. They're in a somewhat small area for the night, an old rabbit hutch that's about 5' by 6' and is enclosed and inside. Well, at the place where I got them from, I picked up three somewhat newly...
