    Lost her best friend and coop mate- now depressed

    Hi- We recently lost our beautiful Buff Orp to cancer (diagnosted by avian vet). She shared her life and coop with a little runt brown leghorn. Immediately after Sunny passed, Stripes (leghorn) got a very bad cold. Back to vet, got meds, and she struggled through it. Now her behavior is what...

    Anyone else have a 'Molter' right now?

    My 1 year old BO is going through her first molt. I suppose everywhere else in the country this would probably be the time for molting- but where I live it's still summer hot so it seems a bit odd. None of my other chickens are molting. She's pretty crabby about the molt- she insists on being...

    Bump on butt- What could it be? Pic*

    My little BO has a bump on her back close to her butt. I noticed it about a week ago because she opens up her feathers around the area and nibbles at it. I'm guessing the bump must be an irritant since she has pecking at it for at least a week now. It looks a lot like a really really big...

    Bugs in food

    Hi- I keep my chicken food in a large tupperware tub~ thought it was a good place, always keeps it dry, has a lid, etc. Yesterday, when I took out a scoop I noticed the crumbles were full of bugs. They are little tiny bugs- about the size of small ants but not ants. I have no idea how the...

    Her Fuzzy Butt is Dangerous

    My BO has been squishing her eggs after she lays them~ I have no idea why. I don't think she is doing it on purpose- After she lays she sits on the egg for a long time- she has always been like that- but lately half the time now she ends up breaking the egg. It's annoying because her breast is...

    Pekin Muscovy cross- anybody got pics?

    Hi- Does anyone have any pics of a Pekin male cross with Muscovy female duck? We have some Muscovys hanging out that are half white, smaller than normal, and look suspiciously like our amourous Pekin drake. Just wondering if he may have philandered with a local Muscovy lass in the Spring

    Help- found blue jay chick

    Hi- I came to my chicken forum because I find everyone helpful here and I've been searching on the net about this subject but seems to be a general outcry of anger when someone tried to rescue a chick. That said- we found the chick in our work parking lot. It was a mess- with loads of...

    Extreme Bumblefoot- questions

    Hi~ My sweet leghorn has very bad Bumblefoot. We've been seeing a vet regularily and as advised we take it day by day. She takes antibotics, and we soak and wrap every day. Unfortunately, the infection is furious and keeps relocating to different parts of her foot (after the vet has gone in...

    Dirty Chicken

    My Buff Orpington is filthy. I do not expect such unladylike personal hygiene from her~ but there you have it. The other day I brought her in the house to enjoy some air conditioning (we live in Florida and the heat is here) and she spent some time cleaning her feathers- but not enough and she...

    Infected eye

    My pekin has an infected eye. It has foamy little bubbles in the corner and looks a little bit swollen and red. Any suggestions? It just started getting bubbly today. **Note- he's always attacking the chickens and they defend themselves- usually with a kick or peck at his eye. It looked a...

    Bad feet

    Hi- One of my girls has a bad leg. She has trouble getting off her roost (her landings are hard on her legs) and she limps from time to time- but not too bad. Usually she cries from the roost and I go let her down. I noticed the other day that on the underside of both feet was a pretty well...

    Drake is a MENACE!

    I've been complaining about my pekin drake for awhile now- but he seems to be getting worse. He's a menace. That's all that can be said. As soon as he sees me from across the pond he b-lines for me. After landfall he runs as fast as he can at me- often with wings flapping. When he reaches me...

    Skinny female Pekin- Unhealthy?***PICS ADDED 1-28-10**

    Hi- I have two Pekins- boy and girl, probably about 9 month old now (full grown and laying). The drake is healthy as a horse, good looking, and feisty. The girl has me concerned. She feels half his size- skinny and her feathers are not nearly as full- especially her wing feathers which feel...

    Noodles!

    I have two Pekins and all they want is noodles. It has gone from a little treat to something absolutely necessary for everyone's sanity. From the first break of dawn when they are let out of the coop they quack for noodles. And I mean quack!! Loud, obnoxious, demanding quacks- especially from...

    Who eats duck eggs?

    I'm trying to solve the mystery of who has been attacking and eating our local duck eggs. We live in residential southern Florida- so we have the general florida villians around (snakes, hawks, etc.) but not very many raccoons or foxes or other critters than are more fond of different areas...
