    Why are my bantam hens dying?

    This is a small wound I found on the second bantam hen before I buried her. Kind of a pinkish spot on her breast/chest area. Any ideas? Thanks for all your input!

    Why are my bantam hens dying?

    They have all been together living in perfect harmony for around 6-8 months. No problems at all before now. I watch them all eat daily and they all get plenty of food. Have done so for 6-8 months now. No wounds that I can see. Necks don't seem broken.

    Why are my bantam hens dying?

    We have had 3 bantam roosters for over a year now. My brother gave us 2 tiny bantam hens this spring to go with our roosters. We are so proud of our bantams. They are sweet, little, beautiful, pet chickens! I came home yesterday to a tragedy...I found one of the bantam hens lying out of the...

    Lets talk about goats!

    Here is the above mentioned goat's hooves. Is he foundered or what? I am new to all this. He's my first pygmy or goat of any kind. I will upload some more pics of him.

    Lets talk about goats!

    Help please! We have a 9 month old male pygmy goat and he has had two surguries now from being blocked. The first was only temporarily successful so he had to have a second in which his urethra was re-routed and he now pees "like a girl". They also castrated him this time. The first few days...

    "Chicken run panels"

    My wife and I bought some farm fence panels and made a wonderful pen for our baby goats! It was super easy and quick to put up, which is ideal as we are so busy and always on the go! I have looked everywhere but cannot find a similar panel for chickens. We have a really nice coop, but we need...

    Silkie thread!

    I'm pretty sure one of mine is a rooster at least. The one with a Mohawk. I've named him "Amigo". The smallest silkie I have with no comb and a little round head, "Sweetie", seems to be Amigo's obsession. LOL. If one of the other silkies gets near her, Amigo will run over to her, fight the...

    Given abandoned baby. What do i do?

    I know very little to nothing about little ducks, unfortunately so I can't give you any advice I'm afraid, but that little guy/gal is SO CUTE!! Colored up like a little bumble bee! I've never seen one like that! Best of luck with the little duck!!

    Silkie thread!

    So how do you tell a boy from a girl in silkies? I have 5 and am completely confused. Some of mine have combs, only one is growing a decent Mohawk at this point, one has a little round head with no comb, yet a friend up the road who has lots of chickens told me they are ALL girls. I'm so...

    New to site. Owner of bantams/silkies.

    Thanks! They are my little buddies! I am so proud of them!! I'm amazed at what pets they are! Well...2 of them are...the other is the dominant rooster and doesn't like to be picked up/held. One of them actually jumped up/flew up into my arms the other day so I would hold him!!

    What SEX are these 5 1/2 week old silkies?

    I would love to know also! I have 5 silkies and am unsure of their gender. I am new to chickens, but I love them so much!! I was under the impression that I had 2 hens and 3 roosters, but someone recently told me that all of mine are hens. They are around 3 months old. Hopefully someone can...
