I saw this ad posted for goats for sale. I'm assuming its a breed of dairy goat? I contacted the owner asking breed mix and size range and all he replied was the kids are with their mom which doesn't help me. I don't want to bother him but if someone knows the breed I can look it up to see if...

The inside of the coop is painted but I am wondering if I should bother staining the outside? It won't be exposed to the elements. The outside that is exposed isn't stained yet either but its still too cold.

Looking for a myotonic goat breeder in Ontario for a 2024 kid. Does anyone know of a reputable breeder? Thanks!

I hurt my back last week so my husband has been watering and feeding our three outdoor rabbits. Two are identical white (Californian) and black and the other grey. I am feeling better so I went out today to fluff bedding and add more hay etc and I am missing a white one! My husband thought it...

I am hatching orpington eggs for the first time, its hard to see through the shell. They are due to hatch this Saturday. A few are solid, you can't see through the shell at all but I can see the air sack. A few others I can see the air sack but 1/2 the egg is black and the other I can see light...

This duckling was the last to hatch on April 4th. He came out all twisted, flat on his back with his legs out to the side. Just laid there, I turned him over but he couldn't walk and his neck looked kinked. I taped his legs the next day when he couldn't walk or stand and after a day with the...

I was all excited to go to a outdoor poultry auction/sale this Saturday. Our covid cases are rising and hospitals are being overwhelmed so we are going into a month lock down this Saturday. It makes sense and I'm sorry for people who are sick. I'm just frustrated I guess. Our vaccine roll out is...

My 3 ducks still act like I am going to murder them whenever I go into the coop. I've tried treats, talking to them, sitting with them....they freeze and just stare at me or run for their lives. I'm sad cause I always wanted ducks.

I have one hen with a pale comb and weight loss. The only change I made was switching from crumb to pellets. Should I supply both crumb and pellet?

We have had these three girls one week now, still skittish but improving.

My hen caught a bacterial illness with swollen face. She just didn't get better ever after a antibiotic injection from the vet. So I made myself do the deed today because to be honest I was avoiding it because of how difficult I knew it would be. I love raising hens and caring for them but...

Does Grandma have fungus feet? I don't know much about her as she was bought a couple weeks ago at a meat bird auction. I wanted to give her a nice retirement home but if she has fungus I need to fix this. Also where or why would a chicken get this?? Thanks for referring me here Jed :frow

This is Grandma, we bought her a couple weeks ago at auction. Kind of think she is a old girl but curious about her breed cause she has brown highlights on her feathers.

So I lost one of my homing pigeons the end of July. Accidentally startled him when I was feeding. I had knelt down in the run to change water and when I stood up I guess he has gotten behind me and managed to get through the crack in the door. He landed on the ground and I almost had him caught...

I just bought two new batams that are 3 months old. Before I put them in their own coop I'm just wondering about deworming and other treatments you do on new birds? One thing I notice is they stink! I have them on a bedding of hay so its hard to see droppings but they don't look runny. My other...

So I'm back into chickens. We went to a sale and I purchased two chicks. One a bantam cochin and the other a standard buff cochin? Both 2 months old. That is what I was told anyways. I've only had them two days but right out of the box the bantam is attacking me! At first I thought oh she is...

I'm sorry if this is posted someplace already but I can't find it. I just got my new incubator a brinsea mini advance with turner and I have never hatched before. I'm getting jumbo coturnix quail eggs soon and I need to set the incubator settings. I need: -Temperature? (99.5f-101f?) -How often...
