Hi,
I just brought a hen inside to do an eye exam on account of white stuff in her eye. I am not sure what happened I just know she ran towards me instead of away with the others. (This isnt completely odd behavior some of the flock will greet me when Im feeding them difference here is I had my...
I have a lame cockerel who is not showing any signs of sickness other than being lame and weightloss from not being able to reach the food properly. He eats well when he is offered food, same with hydration. Poop ranges from normal to tarr black. This has been going on for a while. I first...
Looking to ID this rooster. He was given to me. They called him a buttercup but I dont have a standard of perfection to see if he matches the breed well.
So I have three hookbills and I can identify the colors on two of them one is dusky and the other is dusky-bibbed.
I am curious as to the coloration of the 3rd one. So far I have come across three different names for it: Snowy, Harlequin-phased, and Aleutian. I just want to know for show...
Sorry the picture is a little blurry he wasn't too happy with me holding him to get the picture. This is my drakes foot. He doesn't seem to have any issues or irritation with the foot. I just wanted to confirm what this was and the next steps would be before I made him go through any treatment...
Hello,
I had to separate my hookbill from the flock because the other male was picking on him. Unfortunately I don't have a female to spare for him. I am looking for any female really who might be nice to him. He is a little smaller than my other drake. I would also be open to rehoming him but...
So I think the hatchery messed up and sent me two roos. These are supposed to be blue Andalusians under a year old. Both are developing spurs.
I just want to check before I get with the hatchery.
I have two sebright roos in need of rehoming. Bruce and Pigeon are a half a year old. They get along with eachother fine. Just too many boys for this flock.
Hallo again.
One of my drakes is acting kind of funny. He wobbles alot when he walks and constantly seems offbalance. He is a welsh harlequin drake over 8 weeks old. And when he eats the food alot of it falls back out.
They are being fed Tucker Milling 16% showflock mini pellets. All of the...
lethargic chick. Has been inside in regulated temps for about an hours. Has been fed some egg yolk and water. 8 weeks old all other birds in flock appear to be healthy. It does not have splayed legs but doesnt hardly move. When i move it too much it does open its eyes. I am just trying to...
Hallo, I am in the Middle Georgia area and looking for a good-quality duck feed. I was using Countrywise duck food but apparently, it is now 'out of season' which I find odd since ducks don't hibernate. I know they can eat chicken feed but I have had issues in the past where some ducks were not...
Hallo,
I am looking into incorporating some plants around the pond and I was wondering if anyone has tried using plants one might find somewhere like Lowe's. I intend on digging out a pond and establishing some plants around it. There are a few I have seen that look neat like blue rush and I...

This is Luna I have no idea what breed she is. I got her about 4 years ago now. She used to be my neighbor's dog but they didn't pay a lot of attention to her. Prior to everyone being at the house for my grandmother's funeral we had tried to put her up in our fence since she was...
Hallo, I am looking for call ducks near GA. I currently believe I am going to be having two males and one female so I am looking to trade a male for a female.
So not only did the hatchery not mark the roo there I experienced a die off so I know there is a chance there is no longer a roo in the flock. Following are the remaining chicks they are a month old which I know may be too early but I was taking the chance to go ahead and ask since I was moving...
I'm honestly just looking for some reference materials so I know what colors to call the feather patterns on my birds, both chickens, and ducks. I know different breeds and genders can have different colors but I was thinking of something like what you can find for horses where is shows the coat...
Just curious. Basic grit, not oyster shell is just crushed rock, correct? If so what about using it as part of the landscaping in the same way one could use gravel or bigger rocks? Obviously, it will get scratched at and tossed around but I was thinking of putting thicker layers versus just...
So I recently had switched my feed to a local source and it is similar to some of the feeds I had gotten in the past(5+ years ago) where you can visibly see some of the corn and it is not like the crumbles or pellets. I am curious if I accidentally purchased a scratch feed. I don't have the bag...
