I'm trying to figure out what breed this little roo is. He's one of the poor sweet peanuts that came with my ducks and while I've found a home for all unexpected 7 of them I'm considering keeping one so my flock would have a roo. However I'd like to know what breed he is before I make the final...
So I have a batch of little ones from tsc that are fully feathered but still only maybe 1/3 the size of my lone remaining girl from last year (she has a duckfriend to cuddle her at night). Because the little ones are now too big to spend all their time in the brooder, I moved them out to a run...
One of my newish chicks, I've had them for about 2 weeks, appears to be in distress. Whenever she poos she chirps loudly and it tends to take a lot longer than it should. 5 to 10 seconds sometimes instead of basically instant. She seems to be tucking her tail. And looking her over today her vent...
I my batch of six new little girls, at least two are having foamy brown poops, and one it's looking kinda messy. At this age its hard to tell them apart, and I'm having trouble figuring out who's got the foamy poops. Can I treat the whole lot of them all at once or will that hurt ones who may...
I have half a dozen little tsc girls in a brooder box in my living room, occasionally one of them will just start peeping as loud as her little lungs will let her. She does little spurts of 4-6 peeps, and does it anywhere from once to like 6 times. She's eating, pooping and drinking normally...
So about two weeks ago, we went out in the afternoon to find that something had attacked one of our chickens. Through the fence. During the day. Found fox scat, figured it must be a sick fox, burried our poor girl, and treated the wounds that one of our ducks and one of our chickens got in the...
So this afternoon, not entirely sure when, one of my chickens in my flock was killed, she got caught in between their temp home, and the wall of the run, and when my husband got home and went to check on them he found her dead, and pretty torn up. I assume that there was a scuffle, so I checked...
Hi guys! I'm freaking out a little, my baby Narragansett turkey (I say baby I think she's around a month old) has a pair of bubbles on her side, where her wing meets her body, one is on the underside of the wing, the other on her side. They're definitely filled with air and they deflate with...
Hi guys,
I'm kinda worried, today my ducks made a mess of the brooder box, and today was also the first day that we decided to move the brooder out to the garage. When I went to check on my little ones, the brooder box was rather wet, and one of my chicks was hiding under the waterer, all...
HI all, country girl here, who's family all had chickens growing up. I never did but my husband did, and it seemed now that we've moved to a home with a decent amount of land that ducks and chickens would be a great addition to our family, so we are the proud owners, of 6 chicks and 2 ducklings!
