    Just a thank you

    I do not come on here as much as I used to(or would like too)but rely on this site for information and help. When I first found this site, I read every thread about problems with chicks, etc. to prepare myself for raising chicks. I recently had a chick hatch with splayed leg. I remember someone...

    Trouble breathing, blue comb..poss not related??

    One of my serama roos was having trouble breathing and his comb and wattles were bluish. There was no discharge and all of my other chickens were acting normal. I brought them in, gave him some injections of Baytril(just in case it was something) and he showed no improvement. I got this roo as...

    Lost my pied male

    My young(7-8mo) pied male looked droopy one day, I started putting Safegard in the water that day, the next day noticed the droppings were loose and he was dead the next morning. The other two are fine. I'm so frustrated. All I really wanted was a male peacock around so I got 3 babies earlier...

    My Serama is the best Mom!!!! PIC

    I have a Serama that hatched out 4 babies about 10 days ago. She had some eggs left under her because the other ones kept laying in her nest. So I put them in the incubator. Well, one hatched yesterday morning. I put it in a little make shift brooder under a heat lamp, but I put it next to her...

    Incubator question

    We recently bought a cabinet type incubator. An older one, red in color, wooden, holds about 300 eggs, has three levels to put eggs on, auto turner and such. No instruction booklet....that's the problem. When we first plugged it in, it was at a perfect 99.5 degrees. Well, one of the cats, I...

    Crows ran owl off

    The other evening DH was outside in the evening and heard the crows raising cane. Walked down the field to see them dive bombing and pecking a very large owl. They ran him completely off. I have seen them do this do a hawk that was in our field. I know most people don't like them, but they have...

    15 surprises!!

    So, yesterday I was out in the hay barn when I noticed one of our white leghorns laying on the ground soaking wet(it was pouring). I went to pick her up and she got very mad at me. Then I noticed a chick under her, then another, and another..... there were 15 babies!!! We've had a bobcat picking...

    Bobcat!! Need help.

    A bobcat is wiping us out, 1 Sebastopol goose, several chickens, several Muscovies, and call ducks. We've put up a hotwire(I believe it's 4800-5000V), set a trap with raw chicken, nothing. I've even slept outside numerous nights with a gun. We've seen him twice during the afternoon on weekends...

    Serama chick cold, stiff on wet ground...now chirping!!

    One of my Serama hens was sittiing on three eggs. Last night we noticed a little head peeping out from under her. Once they hatch we always put them and Mom in our storage room for warmth and safety. Thinking I would be moving Mama and three chicks this morning, I was devistated to walk out...

    Type and sex?? More pics added.

    Of these two, I know the darker pied one is a male but the other one throws me off. They both display like males and the one with more white has barring but the feathers are a lighter color than the other one. Is it a different type(color) than the other one or a female, even though it displays.

    Sebastopol.....now a Muscovy too....gone

    Came home this evening and noticed one of our 2 Sebastopol geese was missing. We searched all around and finally found feathers near the woods side of our fence. Something carried it up and over our 5ft horse fencing and into the woods. I'm devistated and very distressed. We've got chickens...

    Could've been worse!

    One of our Muscovy hens hatched out 3 ducklings this morning. As usual we separated her into another pen. Had to leave this afternoon and didn't get back to lock everyone up til around 930pm. It was still raining, had been all day. Went to check on Mama and babies and one of the babies was...

    Musical nests....frustrating

    We had three adorable little white call ducks, 1 male and 2 fem. They are so small we have trouble keeping them in the fence. They can find a way under in the smallest places that the water washes out. Well, our male came up missing several days ago. Searching for him we happened upon a nest...

    Discharge from eyes and nose

    We bought a pair of young frizzles and a young silkie a couple of months ago. Isolated them for 3 weeks then put them out in a converted dog run as they were too little to run with the 'big' kids. About 2 weeks ago they started looking droopy. I wormed them a couple of times with Wazine and...

    Need help with new chick

    I posted a few weeks ago for help sexing my chicks. Then I recently replied to a post by someone losing her peachicks that I also had lost one. This morning. My IB was dead(they were around 10-11wks). Two days ago, when my lovely pied died, I called the woman I had bought the first ones from to...

    curly feathers on peachick?

    I have 3 peachicks roughly 4 weeks old. The pied one's feathers are curling a bit. Is this normal or strange?? I have never had peachicks before. They eat gamebird starter. Thanks.

    'Droopy' peachick....help

    This morning one of my 3 peachicks was droopy, wings hanging low, acting sleepy. I put a drop of bird vitamins in 1cc of water and gave it a tad this morning. Had to run to work. Just got home. Chick is still droopy but alive(which I feared it would not be). I put Sulmet into their water. They...

    Snake trap?

    So, I've posted on here about having to deal with several snakes within a short period of time eating my eggs the ducks and chickens were sitting on. We've killed 3, put moth ball granules around(because I don't enjoy killing them, would rather deter them) and hadn't seen one in over a week...
