I have a chick that is to the stage of poking his beak out of his shell and banging it around. The problem is that it looks like he is in a pool of water and water is in his beak. There are bubbles and his tongue keeps flapping around like he is drinking it. Should I do something for him? I...

This is a splash Orpington Cockerel born late summer of last year. He is very mellow and good around children. I have too many roosters and want to find a good home for him. I am located in Benton City, WA which is near the Tri-Cities (Richland, Kennewick, Pasco) in southeastern WA. I will...

I have a hen that I want bred to a certain rooster. She was out with a different rooster for many months. Now I have her penned up with the rooster I want her bred with. Question is what are the chances that the eggs I collect now are fertilized by the current rooster she is mating with...

I have a nice, blue Orpington rooster that suddenly seems to have a much bigger crop than I have ever seen. I am worried. He is still acting normally and eating. I picked him up and felt it. It feels like it is full of gravel, feed, etc. Is that normal? It isn't squishy but it kind of...

Has anyone ever tried this? I have some old, flat, smooth, wooden, house doors that I am thinking of using for the roofs of a couple, small, chicken shelters. If I used something to seal the wood with and put it at an angle, do you think it might work?

Hello, We butchered our first blue wyandotte rooster last weekend (he was attacking my 3 year old) and found that the meat itself is bluish purple too. I had a really hard time getting past that. Is this normal for this breed and color or was something wrong there? Rebekah

I have a six month old EE rooster for sale, and I would like to find a good home for him. I am in the Tri-cities area in southeastern WA state. He is $10.00. Thanks for looking.

This rooster showed up in my driveway last week, looking rather beat up and bedraggled. He is missing all his tail feathers and a couple toe nails. He is very friendly and good-natured, however. Can anyone tell me what breed he is? He has yellow legs and a single comb, in case you can't tell...

I recently took in two white pekin, full grown ducks. The woman who gave them to me had taken them from someone else and knew little about them. One of them is definitely a male, with a little curl on the tail and makes the drake squawking noise. The other, while the same age as the other...

I am wondering if anyone knows what sort of symptoms a bird would have with cedar exposure. My husband brought home some wood shavings that were labeled "soft wood shavings" because the pine they had there was too powdery. If you read my thread in the disease forum, you can see that I have...

I have lost several ducklings the over the last week. I received them as day old ducklings from Metzer farms last Wednesday. I have raised ducklings many times before and have never seen such strange behavior or had so many ducklings die that seemed healthy only hours before. They seem to be...
