    Is this more than I can handle myself?-Big wound from hawk attack on 6 week old chicks head

    I just found my 6 week old chick, and it looks like she was attacked by something (I’m assuming a hawk, since the dogs would have caught almost anything else). From what I can tell she must have tried to go through the run door (which is slightly ajar) in trying to escape and got her foot...

    I need help naming my Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula!!!

    I got my Rose Hair Tarantula about March last year, and but I've had a hard time coming up with a name that sticks. So, now I'm counting on you all to come up with something.

    Omg! Ewwwwww! Really bad LICE!

    So, yesterday one of my younger (7 months) roos was attacked by an older one. He acted like he was hurting, so I put him in a kennel with food, water, shade, and a barrier from everyone else. He had a little scrape on his back, but nothing serious, so I doctored him up. He's acting like he...

    Tips on Selling Roos

    I'm trying to sell some young roosters because I can't afford anybody that isn't laying or isn't a pet anymore. I really don't want to sell to anyone that wants to butcher them, because they are very sweet to both me and the hens. I know that they are sweet, lovable, and friendly and could...

    This White Faced Black Spanish Is A Girl Right?

    I'm pretty sure this is a girl, but the spur bumps kind of worry me. Could you set my mind at ease, and please, please, please tell me they're girls. She's 24 weeks old, and no crowing yet. Doesn't show interest in the hens, but the roos don't show interest in her either. Here's Alvena...

    I think my young d'Uccle roo has arthritis-anything I can do to help him?

    I noticed that my 23-24 week old is having some problems "moving around". He walks fine, but kind of leans back on his "hocks" I guess and then relaxes down. I've never seen a chicken sit down like that. Then he relaxes for a little bit and can run around again, he kind of walks on his tip...

    Collecting Eggs

    I noticed that my chickens weren't laying as much as they should this spring, when I usually see a big increase. Turns out that my corgi was stealing eggs, as many as 3 a day! It made me SO mad!!!! I tried to deal with it, and I figured that it was a small price to pay for him protecting...

    Sprouting Scratch Grains-We'll See What Happens.... : )

    So, I got the idea that I should sprout some grains for my chickens this spring. I wanted to do a test run, but didn't want to buy a bunch of seeds in case it wouldn't work for me. So I decided to try and sprout some Purina Scratch Grains, since I buy it anyways. I started it yesterday...

    How deep to bury a bantam

    I had a hen prolapse a week ago. This morning I found her dead, eyes closed, head under wing, like she just fell asleep and didn't wake up. I was wondering how deep I should bury her? I've only buried one before, but I think I should of gone deeper. She is a tiny bantam (d'Anver, and a little...

    Hen Shivers Uncontrollably

    My favorite hen Sophie (Porcelain d'Uccle-see avatar) is now 3 years old. I can't figure out why but when I hold her she shivers uncontrollably. She has been doing this for about 2 years, but it never seems to bother her. I tried setting her down, but she still does it. She just shakes (more...

    Dramatic Production Drop, Right?

    So it has been about 105 with practically NO rain for the last three months. In april my thirty old hens were laying great, at about 24 eggs a day. No I'm seeing about a dozen a day, even with my new pullets coming into lay. I know that this is pretty normal, but I won't to make sure that...

    Double Meaning of Courtship Dance?

    I just noticed that my hen (see avatar, for sure a hen) who is really aggressive when the other chickens are hogging the attention has been acting really weird. I just saw her perform the courtship dance to another hen, the hen ran away then. None of my other hens have ever done this. Is the...

    D'Uccle has broken(?) toe?

    My very shy d'uccle rooster has been walking like someone would walk when they are wearing one high heel. Then he sits down really fast, like someone plopping down on the couch. I looked at his foot tonight and his little toe is bent under his foot. I had this problem with a chick but...

    RIR with no back feathers

    I have one RIR that is a GREAT egg layer. Since she has always put so much energy into this, she has never been the prettiest bird (how it almost always works out). I just noticed when I got back from a 3 day trip that her back had almost no feathers. It had always been really ragged, but no...
