    HELP! My chicken has a growth or a swollen liwer eyelid

    My chcken has a growth on her lower eyelid that came up suddenly, but it looks like it's getting bigger. I'm in California, so we can no longer get antibiotics for our birds unless we take them to an avian vet. That's not an option for me. I have been putting warm compresses gently on her eye...

    What breed and what sex?

    This is Oops. Can anyone tell me first what breed, and can you tell in the photo, bc Oops is young there, if he is in fact, a rooster or not? I sexed him at the store. Thought he was a hen. Got him home and he spent all his time once he was integrated into the flock, in sitting in a nest box...

    Odd egg

    This is a pic of an egg one of my pullets gave us today. You can practically see through it,and the shell is super soft. You might be able to see the indentation in it & I made more with a very light pressure of my thumb. We have 7 hens & a rooster who all get along great. We normally get 6 eggs...

    First goose

    We found a female goose yesterday. Have no idea what kind-no doubt mixed, but she is huge-about 18-20 lb-not overly fat, just a big goose. Anyway, we need to know what to feed her. We raise chickens,ducks & quail so figured the game bird feed would work for her. She didn't touch it. Tried giving...

    First hatching

    Well, we did it. Day 19 we had 7 out of 12 quail chicks hatched from our incubator. We were thrilled at this hatch rate bc we felt we were so inexperienced and running by the seat of our pants on this. Ok so now we realized one thing we did wrong. Instead of gathering the eggs to incubate all at...
