    Oh boy pigs!

    Okay, thank you! I am mostly researching bottle feeding right now, but if my family lets me keep them, I will get back with you on how to take care of them after weaning. Thanks again!

    Oh boy pigs!

    Okay, so here's what I have going on: I have been looking to get some pigs (2 or 3 because they're social) for a while now, and I now have an opportunity to get some for free. Unfortunately, they're young and unweaned - an old buddy of mine who has hog barns had a sow farrow 18 to 16 teats and...

    Does anyone else have a sensitivity to chicken dust/dander? And is it worse with extra feathering?

    Hi! I have a slight sensitivity to chicken dander, but mostly because they're dusty creatures. What might be going on could be their feathers growing in (those little tufts go Everywhere!!). It could also be your allergy is exacerbated by other allergens, if you also have seasonal allergies or...

    14 week cockeral weak/ limping

    Hi! I'm not sure what's going on quite, but have you tried giving him electrolytes? I'll see if I can tag a few people who might know more.

    What now?

    Hello! So, because of a dog attack, I lost 21 birds and had to order chicks. I got 24 "pullets" (we will see). However, one of them, an Easter Egger, her feathers are growing in funny. She's normal in every other way and gets along great. I'm thinking maybe she's a frizzle? (I haven't had a...

    My rooster is trans.

    Hello! What do your flock dynamics look like? I had a roo, poor boy, who would sleep in the nestboxes because of a bully. Removing the bully fixed the problem straight off.

    Frozen treats for chickens, will they do more harm than good

    Might get hate for this, but I give my chooks frozen treats in the summer all the time with no ill effects! Just make sure what you're putting in the blocks is something they can have. Mine are quite fond of carrot peels and mash.

    Rooster Spur Gone

    Ok, sweet! It does look like a scab, but what is so confusing is that on Tuesday morning, he had both spurs. Do you think it will grow back? I'm just curious.

    Rooster Spur Gone

    I know this doesn't make much sense, but welcome to the crazy health life of my rooster, Matthew. Elrond has still been bullying him, and since the weather has been nice, Elrond has been temporarily banished to "The Cage" a dog kennel in my run. So, I got out this morning, put Elrond in The...

    Breeding question

    I am not sure if this is the right place to put this question, but you know how if you breed a RIR rooted to a SLW hen their chicks will autosex? Does anyone know if it would work the same way with a Barred Rock hen instead of a SLW? I'm trying to do an experiment, haha! 😆

    Breed type?

    #1 strikes me as an egger of some sort? Though the lack of muff, maybe not... #2 is definitely a gold laced Wyandotte!

    Rooster Bone Fracture? Exposed Marrow? I can't tell

    sick chicken

    Hi, there and welcome to BYC! She definitely sounds sick, but not with sour crop. Making chickens vomit is very bad for them, so I would not do that again. Your first goal is to try to get her to eat - make up some of her favorite treats (hard boiled eggs work great) and get her away from the...
