    What breed should I get???

    Hello, I already keep chickens, but I am looking to get ducks as well. Is there any breeds that you would recommend me getting? I will want them to be rare flyers if not then I would want non-flyers, I wouldn't mind egg production, want them to look okay, and it doesn't matter if they like to...

    Hen with bad leg

    Last night I found my hi line hybrid hen standiñg in the corner of the shed facing the wall, when she tried to walk I noticed her left leg sticking out in front of her. She has a limp as well. Any help on what to do would be great! I don't think she perched last night and she didn't lay...

    Hen with dirty bum

    I have two hens just now that have very dirty bums. I really don't know what to do about it as last year another of my hens had one and it attracted the flies giving it maggots and eventually killing it. Any advice would be great, thanks

    Moving cockerel to other flock

    I have 5 hens and 2 cockerels altogether with 2 hens and 2 cockerels in one run and 3 hens in the other run. The 3 hens in one run are a lot older than the hens and cockerels in the other one.

    Gender Help Please

    There are three light Sussex's and one Verwerk. They are just about 4 weeks old but I'm not sure what gender they are yet... I was thinking that the big one at the top is a hen as he/she has a bigger tail than the rest and I heard that was a sign of a girl. I also think that the Verwerk is a...

    Newborn chick URGENT

    The chick started pipping yesterday (Monday) at about 5:00pm, it hatched today at about 12:00pm. It is unable to stand and there seems to be some green slimy stuff beside it. I needed to help it get the egg off that was still attached to it when it was first born. Its legs are straight out...

She has had flies and continuous prolapses which I have pushed back in again and again. I gave her a bath not long...

    Blood on Bums

    This morning I saw some blood on my one year old hen. I put on some gloves and went to look in to it further. At one point I thought it might be a prolapse as I saw a big bubble thing come out so I pushed it back in. Later on I noticed flies round about her so I put her in a separate run from...
