hi everyone!
This has been going on for awhile, but I think it’s time to address it properly...
We got Phoenix about a year ago. And the only problem he’s has is that he always has poop stuck on his vent and the surrounding feathers. He can still go to the bathroom, but when you clean it off of...
I'm thinking about getting a couple pekins this spring, but all I get from family and friends are that all ducks do is eat and poop. Isn't that what all animals do ? So what are your favorite and least favorite things about owning ducks?

Hi everyone! I've been thing about getting a couple of ducks this spring ,if I can convince my mom that duck eggs are safe to eat. And I just have some questions on breeds and care.
1- we live in the country, so noise isn't much of a problem. But we have to have a breed that can be kept in a...
Today my beloved silky, Frost, died unexpectedly. Yesterday she was acting a bit lethargic but I thought it was just because it was cold. But this morning she was curled up in a nest box, dead.
We've lost 6 of our original 8. We had to re home one of them. 2 died from coccidiosis, 1 from...
Hi everyone! So my silkie hen, Frost, hasn't been acting herself. She's been acting like she's gagging and acting not as energetic as usual. She hasn't been eating much either. She's been gagging like this for a couple weeks but today she just seems out of it. Please help! I love this little...
So my dad has a couple of parakeets who had a chick, one single chick. He was hatched around February and I was planing on taking him home this summer. But just a couple of hours ago the mother parakeet,Sky, attacked the chick , who I've named Neon, he has an injury on the side of his head and...
So today I went to an Easter parade/ gathering thing. And there was a girl carrying around their little bantam hen named lily! They had a little floral cloth wrapped around her. She was kind of a red color with some buff shades on her. And I was wondering, the next year could I bring one of my...
I have an andalusion chick who is about 4 weeks old. She has been vaccinated for coccidiosis and mericks. She has been acting lethargic and her poop sometimes looks like there's a giant worm! I have her and the 2 chicks inside and their heat pad cave is at 80( because I was told to raise the...
Hi I have a rooster who needs a new home, his name is Diamond. He is an Easter Egger/ Plymouth Rock mix. He is about a year old. He has a good attitude and verry protective, but not aggressive, but he is not doing well with my bantam hens and other bantam rooster.We thought Diamond was a hen but...
So I will be getting some chicks soon (1 of each: speckled Sussex, blue and partridge Cochins, andalusion, and black star), they are vaccinated for coccidiosis and mareks. They where hatched February 16th. And I have a couple questions
So my step dad isn't a huge animal lover so we can't have...
So for the past 2-3 days I noticed that my silkie pullet , Bluemoon (not the beer, she is named after a model horse) has a hard time waking up. When I touch her to make sure she is ok she only gives out a couple little chirps and if I pick her up she doesn't really react much. If I set her down...
this morning I noticed that my bantam Wyandotte pullet had an odd looking eye. Any suggestions on what to do?
(Oops, that last pic was a screenshot, didn't crop it)
So it's in the teens with a foot of snow, and I walk outside to check on my chickens. I open the coop and the big bag of happy hen treat mealworms is tore in half and empty. It's was a bit more than half full and I'm worried that they will get sick because of how many they ate. They have food...
So I have a 10ft by 30ft run and 8ft by 6ft coop with 6 chickens(3 silkies, 1 Wyandotte, 1 polish frizzle, and a Plymouth Rock/Easter egger). Could I possibly add any ducks? Will they be ok with my chickens?
This it Ellanor. She is about 5 months old. I was told by the people I bought her from she was a Wyandotte but by the pics I've seen on google don't really look like her. So if she isn't a Wyandotte than what is she? And I think she is a girl but I just want to be sure. Thanks!
