So I have a little situation, I have a 2 month old bottle fed kitten and shes so sweet. We got her a companion kitten from the humane society, when we thought it would be a good time to socialize her, but hes just a little rougher than we thought. I've fallen in love with him, but the 2 kittens...
The other day I found an abandoned kitten, eyes still shut. I'm feeding it goat milk formula (what they had), wipe it's butt, and keep it warm. All I really want to know is signs of it being happy. It sleeps a lot, I feed it every 2-3hrs, and even have a stuffed animal in with it, any hints or tips?
My hens (5) have a fairly large coop, and then a run. The run is all dirt, and I have some pine shavings in the actual coop. I usually let them out of the coop from 10am- bedtime (6ish) and then close the gate. I have 4 new hens that are just starting to lay, and one keeps laying outside the...
Hi I had 5 kittens born, all are healthy but one. She has crusty eyes thats mucus build up and dries, causing her eyes shut. Everyday I clean and flush them out but it just keeps coming back! Does anyone know how to fix this for good? Thanks :D
Today I noticed that one of my chickens was limping. I am fairly new to this and have never had a chicken injured. What is the best thing to do for her. She still walks on it, but sits down more often (which is a good thing). She lays eggs still, struts around, loves treats, eats and drinks...
So my BR just started laying, and 2/3 eggs have been either chipped, or cracked. I don't know if it is because shes curious and pecks at it, is not careful and cracks it, or I don't have enough bedding in the box. When I come out and gather eggs, the straw is bare in the middle, and scattered...
So in mid September, I got 4 chicks; BR, Brahma, sex link, and Australorp. I had heard each one were very good layers too, but none of them have layed and it has almost been 6 months. The weather has been perfect, and I've been having them on regular hen feed for a while now. I am still kind of...
This is my girl, Wendy and we got her from Ideal, 4 months ago. Shes supposed to be a light brahma, but looks different from others I've seen, any ideas as what? Thanks!
So, my 5 chickens are mainly out wandering the yard searching for grubs and getting into mischief, then around 4 I put them in their coop to go to bed. Well tonight while putting them to bed, I noticed one was gone and started to panic because we have stray cats and well you know... So me and my...
does anyone else just have a mean brahma the tries pecking you every time you get near it? uhh, mine does. shes only about 3 months old, but whenever my hands are near her (even if im not trying to touch her) she pecks at me! im almost 100% shes no pure, but all i've heard from people who have...
hahaha, so today I was holding my brahma , and I guess my little barred rock got a little bit jealous of her and flew right on top of her !! It was like the game; who can stack the most chickens on top of each other!! It was so hilarious, I didn't know what to doo... eventually my barred kind...
Hi, i got my barred rock in mid September so its a little over 3 months now. Shes a nice and sweet hen but since the first few weeks i got her i've notice some weird things such as her comb being just.... different from the other i've had in the past. its not that she has a different comb, (such...
