My name is KellyJo.
I've been a member of byc and several other similar sites for years.
11/28/12 I had a rhuenY gastric bypass.
In less than two years I lost 260 pounds.
10/2/2014 I had abdominoplasty/panis removal, partial butt/thigh lifts.
They removed 20 pounds of skin.
The surgery didn't...
Baby goose just hatched, has prolapsed vent? Advice please. I'm reviewing Google and searching forums but also wanted to post pic of my specific issue. Thanks.
Straight run, happy, healthy. I'm guessing some are leghorn? (#1)? The #2s seem to have some blue possibly. #3 the RK guy said was an orp, I disagree, but past that, no clue! #4s seems a different coloration of leghorn? Thanks guys and gals!
These little things are not easy to photograph so...

I have owned toulouse, african and china but have now been lucky enough to have two two day old goslings

I have an african goose, part of several babies i raised successfully. I think its a she. She has an obvious injury. I think her hip is dislocated. I am located in sw ocala florida, she is mobile, eating, growing. But i worry about quality of life. I will admit im a horrible goose momma. I do...

With the heat in Florida, comes the bugs!!! I wanted to check in here to make sure I do a few things right, since I am not completely sure of myself. I have two large cages that hold some of my poultry. These cages consist of wire walls with frame and dirt bottoms. Each cage has several egg...
My 6 laying hens have suddenly stopped laying. After doing a google search and reading many posts here I see that it can be due to worms or heat. None are moulting and none seem sickly so those are my best guesses. I don't think they are eating eggs cause I put a few duck eggs in with them and...
I now have 4 hens and 1the roo who free roam for bug control (ahhhh Florida!). Well long story short I was out today feeding and watering and caught a few of them eating goose eggs. My worry is this is an old nest not found till yesterday when we had some hard rain. The eggs would be a rotten by...
Neighbor just showed me one of her hens. She is about 7 months. Small. I don't know what breed. Looks like a silkie mix????
Poor thing is laying on it's side, feet out and not moving unless prodded.
Legs/feet look okay.
Neighbor has one of my dog crates so she can put her by herself was with two...
I have had an Indian blue peacock for about a year now. He roams free but comes home every night and rarely bothers to jump the 4' chain link fence. The last few months he has been rather.... feisty. Vibrating his tail feathers, on full display. He has also tried to mount my RIR roo several...
...do half naked, moulting chickens decide to stand in the rain when it's cold outside????? Should I be throwing their silly half naked butts in the coop and blocking the door so they can't commit chicken suicide? I've seen them stand out in the rain, but not when they're half naked and it's...
I have a friend who would like to know what kind of chicken breed this is. From behind she looks exactly like one of my Welsummers.
My guess was a silky half breed (It has feathers on it's legs). She lays blue eggs. Any guesses? Thanks :)
I have a neighbor who has given me 2 unwanted 7-9 week mini-rex bunnies. One is male, one female. Problem is neither are altered and this person was housing them in the same dog crate together hoping they would of sold by now. They are brother and sister as well. I have a few fears now. I may...

...and full, nostrils look clean. No sores, lameness, and I felt her backside for possible egg impactions and found nothing.
2 days ago it was about 40* F and the big dummies were happily running in the rain and cold instead of in their houses.
Could this be due to the cold?
Should they be...
I have a neighbor who has given me three 6-7 week old RIR's she couldn't sell. (She's sick of the no shows etc). So I have 3 very pretty lil hens. They are full feather. Now she had them on a closed porch. I don't have a closed porch. My question is how cold is too cold? You'd think me being...
...as it seems I am considering keeping these guys indoors... I breed parrots for hobby/second income and have done so for many eyars but chickens *ahem* well they stink
So any other house chicken owners have any advise on odor control?
I clean cages every day. I was planning on keeping them in...
I am located in Ocala Fl 5 minutes from 484 & Hwy 200. Looking for at least one Frizzle chicken and or eggs/peeps. If you are local I could come collect if you are within an hour drive or so. Shipping is possible depending on prices. Please let me know!

The manufacturer details say it's okay for chicken eggs, I'm not into heavy breeding it wont be for heavy duty usage. I have 2 newly acquired Silver Lace Polish Chickens and was looking to use it for them. Any thoughts? Thanks
