    Red Pyle Bantam Hen isn't laying

    Hi there, This is my old English game bantam, Marilyn. She's eight and a half months, and she laid her first eggs back in December. She laid two eggs that first week, and since then I haven't seen a single egg from her. She's always with the other chickens and she's never disappeared, so I...

    Rabbit with Eye Discharge?

    Hey there, I noticed a few days ago that my male rabbit had a track of liquid coming from his tear duct, but it looked dry, his eye seemed normal, and he likes to get his feet wet in his water bowl occasionally so I took a few pictures and decided to wait and see if it got better. Today I...

    Hen suddenly stopped laying eggs

    My six month old Welsummer/Production Red mix was laying beautiful dark brown eggs nearly every day up until earlier this week. She's acting completely normal, looks healthy, and it's too young to start molting, so I'm beginning to get worried. We found a mouse in the coop this afternoon, but...

    Rabbit Breeding General Info

    Hey there, My single male rabbit is an escape artist. We are seriously considering renaming him Houdini. He's escaped twice now and had gotten very very lucky both times. The first time someone took him to our local animal shelter, and yesterday a friends friend's friend found him and I'll be...

    Sick Chicken?

    Hey there, Today I was out feeding and watering my flock of five and heard a very high pitched almost crowing noise. At six months old, I know none of my chickens are roosters so it was very strange. I came around the corner and my Easter Egger, Maybelline, was standing in the door of the coop...

    Outdoor Rabbit Housing Suggestions?

    Hi there, My eight month old rabbit escaped the yard yesterday and luckily a very nice someone picked him up and took him to the animal shelter, so we got him back in no time. But now it's become clear that allowing him free reign of the yard just won't work! I'm heartbroken because i know he...

    White versus Red Pyle Old English Game Bantam

    My little girl is three months old and while she's absolutely gorgeous, the yellow tinge on her neck is throwing me off as far as identifying what breed of Old English bantam she is. Does that yellow immediately classify her as a Red Pyle?

    Ready to lay?

    One of my pullets has a cherry red single comb, so it's pretty obvious that she's close to ready to start laying. However, I have two other pullets that I'm unsure about. I don't think the lighter colored Easter Egger is ready to lay because her jowls and comb only started to get darker...

    Beggining Layer Feed

    I have one girl who's getting about ready to lay at 4 1/2 months so it's time to switch her onto layer feed and pump some extra calcium into her, but my other pullets aren't quite there yet. I have two that are coming up on three and four months, and I don't want to mess with their health. Would...

    Sexing

    She/he is four months old and none of my other chickens have a comb as large and red as hers. No crowing so far, and she's definitely not the top of the pecking order.

    Good additional pets for a backyard?

    Hey there, My mom sent me a picture today of a beautiful male peacock and asked if we could get one. She was really disappointed when I said no since we live in the city, and then again when she asked if we could get koi! Our pond is just too small. I would love to be able to offer her some...

    Corn Undigestable for Rabbits?

    I've been feeding my rabbit corn on the cobs practically everyday since we first got him. I haven't observed any issues and his droppings have always been healthy and unconcerning. Why is this?

    Grooming laying habits

    Hey there! My pullets are four months old, so I'm crossing my fingers for eggs in November! I designed my coop, but someone else built it and completely wacked up my design so now the nest boxes are much higher than the roost. It's a small custom coop, and at first it wasn't an issue, but now my...

    Rabbit Conditioning?

    My rabbit lives in an outdoor hutch. Usually our daily routine is to let him out in the morning and then put him back in at night, especially since it's so hot here. However, lately he's been returning to his hutch less and less, not even for food despite how tasty the treats I leave out there...

    Does anyone have fish?

    Hi there! We bought our house about a year and a half ago with a modern fountain included. Since we have small children in the house, we had a strong plastic covering on top of it to prevent them from falling or playing in it up until yesterday. When we got home, my mom suggested that we go and...

    Welsummer Sexing?

    My four month old girl doesn't look at all like what I see in pictures of Welsummer hens, but as a chick she was dead on with dark eyeliner and stripes. And now her comb and jowls are getting plump and red. Is this a result of bad hatchery breeding, an increase in hormones, or is she actually a...

    Sexing my Holland Lop

    Well. Nearly four months of owning a rabbit for the first time, and I've somehow never actually flipped Pups over completely until today, and what do I see? A large swollen red mass right in between her back legs. I was walking and carrying her and it was dark, so I didn't get a good look, so at...

    Rabbit in Chicken Coop?

    My Holland Lop girl is a very spoiled outdoor rabbit with her own fan and constantly cycled frozen gallon water jugs since it's so hot here, but she definitely prefers to be out and about. She's found a new favorite spot under the outdoor stairs where the coop is, and since the the bottom is...

    Best time to start flock integration?

    I have three 3 1/2 month old pullets, two EEs and one Welsummer, and two nearly 2 month old pullets, one White Old English bantam, and a black sex link. The younger ones are still much smaller than the older hens, but the older hens are very assertive and chase and peck them when they're around...
