    I am very sorry about your bird... And yes, I will definitely let you (and others) know what happens to Snowbird as the days go on.

    Chicken (3yo) has white diarrhea with small green lumps; is mildly lethargic...

    Hello, If anyone knows what these droppings and symptoms suggest (-see pictures), please let me know so I can do more research on those possibilities! -Thank you! Here are the facts (about Snowbird) for quick reference: Basic Facts: • Breed: Swedish flower. • Age: 3 years. • Weight: ±1.75(?)...

    ~Thank you, judges. : O I really appreciate it! : ] I wasn't expecting to get any place at all, haha. There are truly some amazing palaces people make for their chickens..... -Ones that I can greatly learn from. And I hope to make even better coops in the future! ~Keep up the awesome...

    Rabbit: Slight Front-to-back Misalignment of Maxillary Incisors

    Hello, Last month our rabbit broke his right pair of upper incisors after a fall. The vet said they might grow back, and luckily they have! We checked him again about 2 weeks ago and the vet said everything looked good so far. So, now that they're almost fully back, I am wondering if anyone...

    Sick chicken. Desperately need help!!!

    Yes, you can use a permethrin-based spray under her arms and throughout her feathers. But read the packaging before spraying/using. It is still a harmful chemical in too-large amounts, and should be used with appropriate caution. But perhaps the lice are spreading another illness besides...

    Topic of the Week - Kitting out the Coop

    I'm a little late, but here's a bit about a "treat platter" I made them that works great, year-round. Simply remove the protective cap on one of the nails that's sticking up, and shove-on a cabbage head, apple, or whatever you find appropriate: I made it using a scrap of marine-plywood...

    Bright red comb won’t let anyone in coop

    How many roosting-bars are there? -Surely there must be space for the other hens somewhere....? At least once it's dark, they can't really peck/attack each-other.

    Bright red comb won’t let anyone in coop

    lol -Sounds like one bossy boss of a chicken. Still, I'm sorry for your woes. Do you watch her during the day? She's probably at/near the top of the pecking-order, yes?

    To help combat anemia, how much iron is too much iron? (-Did I help kill my rooster friend?....)

    Thanks for the reply in general! Up until a few days (2-5?) before Jack died, I was letting the birds out of their pen pretty much daily, letting them forage and watching them closely. When I was, I managed to check his droppings up-close at least twice. As far as I could tell, nothing was...

    Day 21 no external pip.

    Yeah, so it turns out he accidentally got a shipment of alligator eggs instead. -A fairly common mistake. -It happens to the best of us. But I guess he committed to raising them instead of chicks....? -So, all is good. He has about 30 more days to go in the incubator, so no worries.

    To help combat anemia, how much iron is too much iron? (-Did I help kill my rooster friend?....)

    Thank you for the input! Well, according to info. from Amazon on "Rooster Booster Poultry Cell, 16-Ounce", it contains 400mg(!) of iron per fluid ounce. 1 Fluid Ounce (US) ≈ 29.57344 ml -So, at "2-3 ml daily", that's: -> (400mg/29.57344ml)x2 ≈ 27mg -> (400mg/29.57344ml)x3 ≈ 40.5mg...

    Day 21 no external pip.

    Earlier this year I lost a chick to malpositioning. The sadness inspired me to write this article. You can spend 5-10min reading it if you begin to get concerned... (-Read the important bits in red and/or the "Things to learn:" section at the bottom if you don't have much time.) I will say...

    Day 21 no external pip.

    Yeah, but if you saw movement in some eggs 2 days ago, I would personally be concerned. Those probably should have hatched by now. You have yet to have a single one hatch?....
