Our 6 month old rouen just started laying like 10 days ago and she has developed a weird "pica-like" habit and she is trying to eat all these pad things. She has peeled paint off of the garden wall to eat, she was eating caulking yesterday, and she tried to peel pain up off our floor to eat when...
Hi All!!
I am coming up on my first winter with my two ducks and I am getting a bit nervous. Our girls have always known warm weather until the past two weeks or so and now it it getting quite cold at night (we live in New Hampshire on the seacoast), so I have a few questions for you guys...
Hi all!
I have a 17 week old pekin (her "sister" is a 17 wo rouen). Both are females and today the pekin was in her clean pool and she started to lean forward, putting her tail up in the air and exposing her vent. I'm not sure what this behavior means...she has also been loosing a bunch of...
Hey BYC! my duckling started making this noise while she preens herself ontop of her peep. She doesn't do it all the the time and she is not acting abnormal at all. I'm just curious what this means. Listen carefully!
Hey BYC!
I just got a pekin and rouen on the 24th of April. They have been best friends ever since, with the occasional bite of the other, but last night, my pekin stepped on my rouen's foot and she tried to get up, but couldn't. I think she sprained her right leg/food/hip, but I don't know...

Hi all! I have a week old rouen and pekin. Last night, our pekin, who is growing much quicker than our rouen, stepped on the rouen. She didn't seem too agitated last night but this morning, she won't walk and if she does, it is only for a few steps and she limps pretty bad. What should we do?! I...
This is Pumpkin. She is a year and a half old Rhode Island Red. She has been, what we think to be, egg bound for almost 48 hours. She has bee. Eating and drinking throughout the day but not a lot. She has been pooping but it is liquidy and we think it looks a little like the whites of an egg...
Our light Brahma has this weird rash on both of her feet/legs. It is red, but not raised and she is not showing any signs of discomfort. The only thing is, she is acting like a but of a loner...probably not related but you never know. Any idea what it is and how it could be treated?? Thank you!!!
Hey Everyone, We have a sick hen, she is almost one (will be the end of May). She is a speckled sussex with three other "sisters". We let our girls out today to roam the yard (beautiful spring day) and when we went to go put them back in their coop, when we noticed Nutmeg, the (now) sick hen...
Hi All!
I have four chickens, a BR named Pepper, a RIR named Pumpkin, a Speckled Sussex named Nutmeg, and a Brahma named Triscuit.
Lately, within the past week or so, Pepper has taken on pecking the vent of little Pumpkin (she is the same age as all of our girls, but she is by far the...
Hi There,
We have an 8 week old light brahma who used to be super loving. Now, she refuses to be held and she has a golf ball sized hard lump on her right side next to the breast bone, right where her crop would be. We have no idea what it is; we were thinking impacted crop of tumor, but like...
Our chickens are about 7 weeks old now and today, they were attacked by a hawk for the first time. All escaped but one. Her name is Nutmeg. She was pinned down by the Son of a B**** before it was hit away from her. I was not there to witness it, but I was told it had her for about 10 seconds or...
