    Paralysed Silkie???

    😳 thanks, is it possible it could be anything else?? I looked up the symptoms and the only one that matches that I can see is just the paralysis? If it was does this just guarantee all my hens and ducks to have it aswell?! None of them are showing any signs and we’ve had the silkie for most of...

    Paralysed Silkie???

    Hi all, I have a silkie hen around the age of two who started showing signs of being paralysed last week.

    Mother Hen With Parasites

    Hello, today my hen hatched her first ever chick! But the problem I have is that she appears to have some lice. I only noticed the other day and I am wondering if it is safe to put on while she is still sitting on the chick? Or wether it would be okay to wait until she is out of the nesting box...

    Will One Snake Keep The Others Away?

    Thanks everyone! I’m in Australia so we get quite a few snakes. We also live around a lot of nature reserves around where I am so that would be where we would let it go. But I think it will be best just to keep it on my property. It seems to just be eating all the rodents. The duck that we also...

    Will One Snake Keep The Others Away?

    Hello! Last night while we went to put the chickens and ducks away we noticed that the ducks were standing outside the doorway of the coop and looking a bit stressed. So when we looked inside we noticed a big diamond python slithering on the ground off the coop underneath where the chickens are...

    Chicken with runny nose

    Hello, I have a silkie pullet and a couple off weeks ago I noticed she started sneezing a lot. I decided to just leave it for a while and see if it fixes itself but now when I look closely her nose looks really watery and sometimes almost blocked. When she clucks it sounds a bit raspy as well...

    What causes developing fertile eggs to die?

    Thanks for your reply. I bought the eggs and got them delivered from a different breeder's stock. I was surprised they even started developing as I had got them delivered from a different state from where I live! Also thank you for the info you've sent, it's really useful and I'll keep it in...

    What causes developing fertile eggs to die?

    Hello, I have recently had a couple of ducklings hatch after incubating some fertile eggs. Four weeks ago I incubated 9 duck eggs (Pekin and Khaki campbell), after a week I candled them and 7 out of the 9 had started developing. Once a week I would candle the eggs. I candled them for the last...

    Roosters or hens?

    Hello! 6 weeks ago I hatched 4 little chicks. I am just wondering what gender they could be? I’m think 1, 2 and 3 are roosters😬? (I can get better photos if that helps) Thanks! 1. 2. 3 4.
