    Dog attack/leg injury help for 3 week old baby chick!

They are about 3 weeks old and adorable! Unfortunately, yesterday I realized one of the chicks was missing and assumed...

    Rooster fight /next steps question

    Ok, I've found a farm about an hour away from me that said they'd take my roosters and they have 20 acres, pens and plenty of hens to go around. Now I just have to catch them. I have help coming today, hopefully. In regards to the injured rooster, @Shadrach you mentioned keeping indoors can be...

    Rooster fight /next steps question

    I'm trying my best 😭. I've previously rehomed multiple to people I know. I've checked rescues but no luck. I'm scared of craigslist. People steal roosters around here for cockfighting and id assume the same on there. I know the feed store will take them and process them. I'd rather they die...

    Rooster fight /next steps question

    They sleep high in an oak tree in the field across the street! I now have a couple of dog crates ready to be deployed. If I catch them fighting, I know I can easily grab at least one because they are so distracted. My other plan is to trick them into the crates with food and/or by placing the...

    Rooster fight /next steps question

    Hello everyone. I have many feral chickens in my neighborhood. I've semi-adopted one flock. Unfortunately, after the loss of my beloved hen, Lady, all that remained were her 7 chicks (6 roosters / 1 hen) and an older Hen Jessica. Because they are feral they have plenty of space and have kind of...

    Semi feral/wild hen with new babies

    This is basically what I have been doing. I don't want to put too much food out in case they don't eat and it attracts predators. My biggest concern is the loss of our rooster. I'm afraid young Jess isn't quite up to the challenge of understanding/running towards the sound of an alerting hen...

    Semi feral/wild hen with new babies

    Hi everyone, One of the neighborhood chickens recently hatched 3 adorable baby chicks! While I am thrilled, I am also worried. It is winter, the main rooster was stolen and she is in a field that is not near where the remaining flock hang out (front of my house versus back). I live in Houston...

    4 Pekin ducklings need home (Houston, TX)

    Hi Everyone, A well-intentioned neighbor decided to deliver 4 adorable little ducklings to my door.

    Rehoming 4 pekin ducklings (Houston, TX)

    Thanks Miss Lydia! The lamp in the picture was actually not a heat lamp and the only thing I had when they Arrived! I now have a proper heat lamp for them and yikes it does get hot. I have a temp gauge in there and it says it's about 80ish. They definitely aren't cold and huddled under it. I...
