    Possibly Bird Flu?

    They did eat some rotten meat the other day. They've eaten rotten meat before without issue so I didn't think anything of it then, and didn't even consider that to be a possibility because of this. No new birds, they have mites but not terribly. She stayed in the cage all day but only...

    Possibly Bird Flu?

    This past Monday evening into Tuesday morning, I lost 4 birds suddenly. All 3 of my guineas and a drake muscovy. They were fine, then couldn't walk, had labored breathing, and soon died. My 15 chickens were doing fine. This morning, one of my chicken hens was looking really tired. I...

    Hybridized Eggs

    If a chicken rooster mates with a guineafowl hen, will the egg look different? How would one know if the rooster or the tom fertilized the egg?

    3 momma hens on one clutch

    One is out the box with the first one that hatched the other day. So goes back to the box but the chick follows only her. The other two are still broody. It's a really staggered hatching so I guess this is a good thing.

    3 momma hens on one clutch

    I have 3 hens all sitting on one clutch. Hasn't happened before. I'm wanting to know if this will overheat the eggs. Also, will it confuse the chicks when they hatch? Who will be the mom?

    Bird mites driving me nutso!

    😵‍💫 HELP! Bird mites are taking over my life. I would use a pesticide, but they are all endocrine disruptors. It's there a lure/trap I can make for my living space? Any repellents that aren't mint that actually work? What about sulfur?

    Layer not laying

    In Hawaii, free ranging, they eat meat, oats, rice, carrots and cabbage and dates in addition to what they find. And free choice oyster shells. Not all at once. The meat is a staple, but the grain changes and the veggies too. But over the course of several days it's all that. The hen is a...

    Layer not laying

    I have a hen who was laying regularly until her "sister" hen went broody and hatched a clutch. She was laying next to her and sneaking some eggs under her. But after the chicks hatched, she found another spot and laid a couple eggs. Then it got to be like 6 eggs between her and another...
