I don't know if the pics are good enough but can anyone tell what gender my little ones are?

My baby Keyster all of a sudden has this strange swelling (it's hard). What is this and what can I do? It seems that he/she doesn't drink much either.

I just moved a hen into an outside pen with her 1 week old chicks. First all seemed fine now the hen goes and pecks at them and they try to hide from her. Any advice?

Does anyone know what this is?

I know the picture isn't the greatest but maybe someone can tell me what these 2 little guys are? Any clue about age maybe? Thanks in advance :)

What wormer should I use for a 1 year old turkey hen that never was wormed?

My duck is the the proud mom of 11 ducklings (peking). One of the 11 is 2 days younger than the rest. All hatched on 06/04/2012 and the last one on 06/06/2012. The youngest one had a leg problem which is all healed and she is healthy but a tiny bit smaller than the rest. We made the duck run...

I found my guinea hen dead today. She had started laying eggs about a month ago. She was fine yesterday. She was best friends with the turkey and both are in with the chickens. What could have caused her death? It was not a predator. They are fenced in.

My guinea hen is gimping on her right leg. She is eating and drinking but I don't have a clue what happened. She uses it lightly. What can i do for her? Thanks for any info.

5 of my 5-month old chickens started sneezing yesterday. I am planning on giving them antibiotics in the water for 7 days. Is this ok for my 5 month old guinea and turkey? Should I give shots instead which I think is too much stress in this heat (the catching). This is the first time any of them...

I just brought home a bantom but it's walking on both elbows. How can i try to fix this? It is alert but uses the wings to get around.

I moved my very small flock into their new roost this afternoon. Is it OK to let them go out into their new run in the morning or do I need to leave them inside longer to make sure they will find their way back in?

We just put up a 8'x10' coop and are currently working on getting the 5' chicken wire up around the coop. The run will be approx. 50' x 50' and (for now) has only grass in it. Plans are to add a sand spot as well. What can I plant inside the run for protection and shade that's chicken hardy? It...

I have a chick about 7 days old and she can't seem to use her left side at all. She only lays on her tummy and keeps falling over to the left. The wings are working but the left one seems not even with the right. The girl eats and drinks and seems alert. When I turn her on her back she sticks...

I took in a baby chick today that has the toes on both feet curled together. Like it's walking on fists. it gets around quite well but I would like to help it if possible. Any ideas? Thanks!

Finally, after waiting forever, my dominant red hen laid her first egg(s). I found 2 so I'm not sure if she had one yesterday and today or both today. Here is a picture:

Here are my new 3 girls I bought at auction last night. Yes I did quarantine them. What breed do you think they are? And please don't tell me that one may be a rooster Can you tell how old they may be? This first one is the bossy one: This one is actually a lot more black than the picture...

Newbie at work again. I bought 3 hens from the same person at auction last night. they are in quarantine. This morning I found one with a smelly yellow nasal discharge. She is active, eating and drinking. The other two seem fine besides one being more dominant. How can I help the sick one? What...

We had a real cold spell (5 degrees at night with windchill) here for a couple weeks and I noticed that my rooster isn't crowing anymore. He sounds horrid. Is it possible that he has a cold? Ed is acting fine and his other verbal noises sound normal. Also the 2 chickens I brought home 4 weeks...
