    Chick with dead foot?

    Me too! My grandmother has a story of a rooster who froze to the ground and they brought him inside, warmed him up, and he was fine. I met him when I was a kid, he was a trooper for sure haha

    Gosling got out!!

    My smallest gosling managed to get out of their outdoor brooder, and we didn't find her for a few hours because of a bad rainstorm. We found her covered in mud, so we gently rinsed her with warm water as best we could and tried to wipe off her beak. She ate some water soaked food, but I noticed...

    Broken Thigh Baby Chick

    Thankfully she's back to moving her leg and it seems fully healed, I'm really glad she's doing ok. I did end up taking her into the vet and they set the bone and gave me some antibiotics in case of any infection

    Broken Thigh Baby Chick

    Our brooder is on a table about 3 feet off the floor, and that's where she fell. I've moved the brooder and fixed it so there's no chance it can happen again, but thankfully the baby is doing amazing! Her leg is back in use and she's actually the most energetic out of the hatch :)

    Broken Thigh Baby Chick

    One of the chicks fell and broke her leg. It's broken up in the fluffy part, chicken anatomy diagrams say it's her thigh. It's dangling and flopping, she keeps twisting it at the break so I'm holding her. She can't seem to move that leg. No swelling that I can see, and no blood. I'm not sure...

    Bad Momma Duck? Advice?

    I'm new to this so I hope I'm doing the right thing, but if not please tell me! My first broody bird ever just hatched 4 beautiful babies! She's a pekin Swedish blue cross and she hatched 4 fine, and I had to help the last one because she kept getting up and it got shrink wrapped. She is ok...

    Accidental chicken egg in duck hatch!

    I don't right now, I wish I did! I can't really afford another incubator right now. Any ideas if I can't manage to find one I can afford before then? This is my first duck hatch

    Accidental chicken egg in duck hatch!

    Hello! I just noticed one of the eggs in my hatch is a chicken egg! Don't know how I missed that. Candled it, it's pretty much ready to pip internally. It's day 22, I was going to take the eggs off the turner on Friday, which would be day 25. But this chicken egg is already a day late, so I'm...

    Need advice for injured bottle baby goat!

    We checked her over last night but I'll do it again in the daylight to make sure we didn't miss anything! He's definitely staying with my uncle until she's weaned and can spend her time fully outside. I'm glad to hear that goats seem to bounce back from injuries pretty well! Someone suggested...

    Need advice for injured bottle baby goat!

    Yeah I honestly I'm more traumatized than she is! I just figure it's better to get a second opinion than assume it's fine on my own.

    Hen or roo? Breed?

    Any ideas about what breed this bantam is? They were just sold as "bantam". Also, any ideas about if they're a pullet or cockerel? It's about 6 weeks old, and its a little feisty with the other chicks! Still very sweet, just definitely the boss. Thanks for any help identifying this lil one!
