    Is this plant toxic to ducks?

    Normally my ducks won't go near it but I just witnessed one eat some leaves for the first time.

    Missing Chick?

    I have a broody hen on a number of eggs, she's quite an aggressive hen so we don't get to check the eggs so we just let nature take its course. We witnessed one egg pip yesterday morning and it was chirping through the gap before we left for the day. I've checked again this morning while mum...

    Western Australia - Silkie Roo

    I have a roughly 6 month old white bantam silkie roo I am looking to rehome (unless we can make other arrangements). My flock was cut in half by foxes and as a result we are moving what's left back to our suburban property temporarily. 'King Fluff' is our only remaining rooster from the attack...

    Grumpy Hen?

    I don't have photos at the moment but one of my hens seems to be a favourite of the roosters. I think she's getting a little too much attention of late as she's missing a few feathers. I've started alternating letting her out to free range alone and with the flock to give her a break. I've...

    Plymouth Rock with White Legs?

    Hi everyone, the night before last I bought three Barred Plymouth Rock hens that are about two years old. I noticed this morning that two of the three have white legs and white-ish beaks. The third and my existing roo are both yellow. Anyone know why the difference? I did take a guess that...

    Worming

    Just a quick question, I believe I may have heard one of my chickens sneeze, did a quick google search and it came up as possibly being worms? Any ideas on how to treat the whole flock at once?

    Eye Pecking

    I seem to have an odd bunch of chickens at the moment. I noticed a couple of days ago that one of my young hens had a sore near her eye and figured she had a peck to the eye, it was all healed over and not swollen at all but I've just noticed today that one of my silkies now also has a peck to...

    Vent Gleet Treatment?

    I think my 11 week old Plymouth Rock has vent gleet, she has never had bum feathers since we got her at a week old and I've spent every day cleaning her up as her excrement stuck to her skin and feathers. I've only recently joined this site and was wanting to know the best way to treat this to...

    Hen Crowing?

    We have been told recently that our gold laced wyandotte is a hen, I just witnessed 'her' make noises almost identical to crowing while she was standing in the yard. Any thoughts? I've attached a couple of photos, she is about 11 weeks old now.

    Young Hen Nodding Off?

    Hi there, I have a very new Gold Laced Wyandotte about 10-12 weeks old who will just stand around with her eyes closed and nod her head (sometimes to the point it looks like her head is going to fall back onto her back!) She hasn't started laying yet, eats normally and is just as active and...
