    Naked Breast Solo Tom

    I’ve got one tom and one hen. They cohabitate peacefully with 15 chickens and have no apparent health issues. Nor do the chickens. Except the tom turkey lost all his breast and tail feathers. I dust the big coop with diatomaceous earth and haven’t seen bad evidence of mites in a while (besides...

    Duck bleeding from nose and eyes

    I got three ducklings from Tractor Supply last June. They grew up free-ranging with chickens and turkeys. Two wound up being male and one female. About a month ago, my dog killed the two males and lightly injured the female. Since then, the female has acted very depressed and stopped bathing...

    New coop substrate, ducks stopped using coop

    I got three Pekin ducklings last summer. They grew up using their coop, which they’ve always been good about going into at night and hang out in sometimes during the day.

She has a favorite box, and the only time she laid anywhere else was when I moved the coop. After a few days, she went back to laying in her...

    Bullied hen in generally poor con

    I adopted a hen yesterday from a suburban owner. Nothing health-related was mentioned in the ad, but when I got there I found that she looks terrible. I adopted her anyway, thinking I could give her a better home. The only thing the prior owner told me is that she had frostbite on her comb last...

    Not an Easter Egger

    I picked up a free “Americana rooster” yesterday, and I’d like feedback on the breed/gender. I’ve kept chickens many times but never paid much attention to breed. The person who gave me this bird said both the parents were Easter eggers. But after looking at pictures of Auracanas, Ameraucanas...
