    Hen with large mass on lower abdomen

    Well, hasn't been a good week for my birds :( While treating with Tylan 50 last night for respiratory illness, I noticed my barred rock hen has a softball size mass under her skin on her lower abdomen between her breastbone and vent. It is kind of soft. I haven't gotten any puctures yet. She is...

    Broiler chicks with problems, illness and swollen joints, broken leg, photos, a couple somewhat grap

    I have raised broilers before but this is the first year I have ever had a batch of sick babies. I only had 4 of them, 2 conish x broilers and two red broilers. Two days ago I lost one of the red broilers. On necropsy I found it had some sort of bacterial infection (I think) in its intestines...

    What's your birds' favorite treats?

    Ours happens to be RAISINS! We soak them first so they're soft and they go nuts of them. They also love meal worms. I did have a chicken once that really loved ice cream too. Treat frenzy!

    Our Ducks PLAYING around in the sprinkler and with a toy alligator :)

    Our ducks are great! They are about 4 months old, and include a Khaki Campbell named Mocha, a Mallard named Cricket (or "Quackers"), a Blue Swedish named Space captain Bluebill, and a Pekin named Snowy. Though they don't like to be handled much, they are very gentle when we do handle them. They...

    Wimberley chicks- Our little Beauties! Lots of pictures and a video :D

    Hi y'all and howdy from Wimberley, Texas! We have had several chickens in the past when we lived in Austin, but now that we live on 3 acres in the country we decided to get a whole flock! We currently have 12 chickens and four ducks. Though we did have 17 chickens, the neighbor's cat managed to...

    Help Identify these chickens and ducks? I think I know what they are, but need confirmation!

    Hi everyone, been a long time since posting here as we have been several years without chickens. Now we have 12, and 4 ducks! They are all about 3 months old. They all came from a mix of chicks at the local feed store (so they aren't the best representatives of their respective breeds). We've...

    Bath Time! And new pullets have an ugly new coop! *PIC HEAVY*

    So my new pullets (have had them about 2 weeks now, BR-Penelope Strange and Splash BLRW Betty Poop) got a bath last night because Penelope has had some diarrhea, and needed her backside all cleaned up. I went ahead and bathed Betty too, as she is very attached to Penelope. They behaved quite...

    Foul-Smelling Diarrhea in BR Pullet..Pasty Butt? PIC*

    I picked up two 12-week old pullets last weekend (a BLRW and a BR). The BLRW seems to be fine and healthy, though a little skittish. But the BR, though acting pretty normally and very sweet, has runny, very smelly diarrhea. I thought it could be pasty butt but there really isn't any blockage of...

    BLR or Splash-Laced red wyandotte?

    If possible to tell at this age, is my new 12 week old Wyandotte a blue-laced red or a splash-laced red (or bl/sl-buff/gold?), or is she too young to tell? It really doesn't matter, I just want to call her the right color.

    My New BLRW and BR Pullets!

    My 8 month old Godiva (SLW) died about a week ago, and I went and did what you're not supposed to do...went on Craigslist to peruse the farm and garden section. And after a few days of browsing, I saw an add for Wyandotte and Barred Rock pullets for $10 each. I decided to take the short ride to...

    RIP Godiva, gone too soon :( pic heavy

    Went out today to let the birds out and had a really bad feeling since only 4 came running out into the yard. I was hoping she was just laying an egg, but there she was, lying on the ground in the run, as if she were just taking a nap. But Godiva, my SLW, was pale, stiff, and lifeless. I...

    Video/pic heavy of MF D'uccle roo Nugget, and RIP Dante and Hubert :(

    So when Nugget started crowing he got kicked out because we live in a neighborhood that won't allow them. It was a hard decision to make and I miss him a lot, but he now lives on our friend's 10 acre horse ranch just over an hour's drive from here. We get to visit about once or twice a month...
