    Polish's topknots + rain = hilarious. Pics!

    My polish hen, Paris, looks really pathetic in the rain. Her crest feathers droop all down her face and are covered in mud and sopping wet. Her "hair" drips water everywhere, and she seems pretty ruffled (no pun intended). Luckily, I've thought of a hilarious solution: Just tie her "hair"...

    Help my little cockerel!

    Merry is a dutch bantam roo, and he's something like three months old. A few weeks ago I noticed he was slow and sleepy. He eats, except he does these weird convulsions with his neck that I sometimes see the other chickens do to get food down. Also, he sometimes "vomits". When he puts his head...

    Taking Care of a Wild Chickadee (PIC)

    So yesterday a chickadee flew into the house and knocked itself out flying into the window. I kept it in the incubator, and fed it sugar water to perk it up, hoping it would get better so I could let it go. The weird thing is, the bird is completely unafraid of me, and it also doesn't startle at...

    Crossed Beak

    The lady at the feed store asked me to take care of a chick with a crossed beak that no one else wanted to buy. I have been feeding her chick starter mixed with water and sugar through a straw. I haven't seen her eat on her own yet, and I'm not willing to feed her this way for the rest of her...

    Weak and possibly dying chick... Please help!

    This chick hatched a few days ago without fully absorbing its yolk sac, so I wrapped it in a paper towel in the bator and hoped it would eventually absorb it. Next day the sac just dried up and it had a little dried balloon thing stuck to its navel. I cut it off, it bled a bit, and now it's just...

    Polish Advice Please

    I want to get a Polish or two for my mixed flock, but I've heard that "normal" chickens peck their crests off. Obviously, the funky crests are mainly the reason I would like to get them, and I don't want to separate them or get a whole bunch. So would you Polish-owners recommend that I get them...

    Major hatching problems-- PLEASE HELP!-- *warning, dead chick pics*

You can get your pictures from the internet, and tell what it has in common with the photo above it. But don't post photos of the same thing. Example...

    Can the chickens go with 24 hours/day lighting?

    When my family goes on vacation, we move all the chickens to the basement, because we don't want to worry about depending on people to shut the chickens up, etc. The chickens stay unattended down there with automatic waterers and a filled feeder for as long as we're on vacation. Since its...

    OK to drink from muddy puddles?

    I have a sort of pit where I dump the chickens' veggie scraps, where water collects after a rain. What bothers me is that the chickens like to drink the muddy rotting vegetable water, and I don't think it's healthy for them. They also drink from puddles formed in the manure heap and in the mud...

    I bet you've never heard of an albino tree! W/ pics!

    My family and I went hiking in the redwoods near our home, and we came across a little redwood sapling with leaves that were... snow white. Seriously. At first I thought they were covered with mildew or someone had painted them, but they weren't! They were totally alive, they felt like, smelled...
