Been a while since my last post... Wow.
Anyway, my outdoor aviary could use a little bit of cleanup. I think button quail would do the job well, but there's one problem. I have free range chickens that hang out nearby. I haven't found any information on whether buttons are affected by coryza...
Well, he ended up not making it. Still not sure what happened, but the other chickens are still acting just fine, thankfully. Keeping an eye out, though.
I can't think of any time he could've had the opportunity to get mareks, and he's the only one in the flock doing this, but I'll have a look anyway. I have thought that the symptoms resemble it, but I just haven't been able to think of any scenario where he would've been at risk of getting...
My chicken Harle seems to be sick. I think it's a he, but don't quote me on that. Lately he's just been sitting in the corner of the coop not really interested in doing anything. His wings are droopy (not too uncommon for him, but I thought I'd throw that out there), one more so than the other...
Yeah, posting over there sounds like a good idea. So is it a tolbunt thing to lack balance? Because I have never once seen him attempt to perch on anything. He's a funny bird. I actually have a total of eight or nine polish right now. The one tolbunt (he's the super sweet and tame one), three...
Hmm. One of my chickens is acting weird. He (I think it's a he) is a tolbunt polish a little past the age that they start to lose their baby voices. He isn't moving too much, but has walked around a little bit. Usually he's pretty active. His wings are droopy (this isn't too uncommon for him...
Rabbits are all in the family leporidae. Domestic rabbits are in the genus oryctolagus. The majority of wild rabbits are in the genus sylvilagus, which of course means that it is highly unlikely that they would breed together and produce offspring. European rabbits however, are also in the genus...
I'm pretty sure that most if not all of the wild "rabbits" in the US are actually hares. Domestic rabbits can't breed with hares, so it's extremely unlikely that the rabbit mated with the wild ones. However, I'm not sure where you live and whether or not you have wild rabbits in your area. And...
