    Possible Infectious Laryngotracheitis Case in Rooster / Questions

    Good evening from California. It's been years since I've used this account, and it's unfortunate it's for something as serious as this. Before I go into detail, I want to start out stating that my chickens are my pets and I'm not culling my flock regardless of prognosis. Now that that's been...

    Mama Cockerel

    He is about 2 months I believe. I bought him and his half sister at the same time as week old and 2 week old chicks, respectively.

    Rescued Goose in Great Need! Help

    Just thought i'd update! She had the nodule drained of some stingy clearish pus stuff and is being given antibiotics. She seems like she felt the relief of the pressure being gone immediately and is now living on a farm with some other white chinese as she recuperates.

    Chicken Diapers...

    Sorry for late replies! Very busy. Well, I got the bantam size, since she's an oegb mix. I bought the over the tail type one, they said it covers more and I'd have to agree it works really nice.

    Chicken Diapers...

    Alrighty, I'll get a pic of her as soon as I can. I ordered from Avian Fashions http://www.avianfashions.com And I would recommend them. I like her diaper, it has two plastic liners that come out to be washed. I also happened to get an adorable patchwork one. And yes, that's why I...

    Chicken Diapers...

    People often get them for birds they keep indoors partially or all of the time to prevent having poop on stuff. That'd get gross. XP

    Chicken Diapers...

    Well, I have one I bought from avian fashions for my oegb girl Aiko, she's not terribly fond of it, but she deals with it. I got a over-the-tail full body wrap one. My experiences have been good, but duck/goose diapers were easier to apply to my waterfowl babies than chicken diapers were to put...

    Treats that are NOT treats

    The reason they don't want you to give "Super Worms" or "King Worms," which are, as I am assuming, they very large variety of meal worms to your birds is because: They have large mandibles that can pierce through your chicken's crop or damage their stomach. I'm sure cutting off the...

    sick baby chick, please help

    How old is your chick? I get the green and white poop from the new hatchlings for a few days before they get kickstarted into gear. As for your chick, I would continue to do what you are doing. Some just don't thrive and some are a real battle to have live. Did you buy your chicks? order them...

    Rooster or hen?

    While this subject has been already clarified, I feel inclined to add: That is common for some species, like male ducks pair up often during mating seasons and sometimes even make nests. Mallards are actually quite known for it. As for being "gay," animals don't have perceptions of sexuality...

    What are they??

    x2 ^^^^ Those are definitely ducks. No doubt. Cuties! Geese have different bills and body-shapes. Look up goslings and ducklings and look at the bill.

    Crowing Hens What

    My precious Aiko woke me up this morning CROWING. Kisses aren't the only unique thing about this girl…. but dem kisses, wowowow ….WHAT. I know some hens crow, but I didn't really expect it, and I hadn't ever actually seen it, but I did today. Her crow was different from the rooster's...

    Chick with slipped achilles tendon… Time to get medical.

    Yeah that's my plan exactly. My guy tells me the leftover chick is a cockerel, he's yellowish, and all the yellowish chicks I had from the line he comes from have been roos. He's a bantam so I want to get a bantam buddy, silkie if possible, but I won't be too picky. Thank you guys though.
