Hello fellow CrazyChickenPeoples! I need some advice/opinions on bantams… I have had “regular” sized chickens for years so I know all about bio security and quarantine process BUT long story short my sweet neighbor passed away sometime between the 8th and 11th of June… and we all knew she had a...
Hello, I know there are hundreds of bumblefoot threads already and I've read through most but I just want to make sure.... I'm pretty sure my girl has it but I wonder... isn't the scab/spot going to be hard ? Her toe is swollen and has the stereotypical "black spot" but it's firm, not hard. Is...
Looking to rehome a few Roos! 3 of them are 4 mths old (hatched them myself born jan 22) the other we got in a straight run last fall and based on size at the time I'm guessing was 1-2 mths old as we didn't know sex till awhile later lol,(not the father of the 4mth olds) I also suspect I have at...
Regarding temp acclimation I've had my hen in my bathroom for the last 2.5 days getting some extra tlc, I feel she's ready to rejoin the flock but I worry she's gotten used to 60ish temps. It's in the mid to high 40s today and no freezing expected over night for at least the next week... right...
My poor Houdini girl (unknown age but pretty sure she's over a year and as of yet since we got them in August haven't seen her lay an egg) is acting sick..., lethargic, nasty butt and has a blue ish tinge to the tips of her comb. I've brought her into the chicky hospital aka our mud room and she...

Hello! We got 2 ducklings about a month ago as a last minute addition to our chicken flock. I want to make sure we give them the best life we can but having never had ducks before I have a few questions and concerns...

Has anyone seen this before?? Started as a pale white spot about a week ago and is now turning black and obviously swollen. She's still eating/drinking and acting normal. Not sure if rooster or another hen may have started it or what. My dad wants to cut it off but I'm afraid that could...
Hello! We got these three babies at a swap and were not really sure what they are! Ive searched everywhere and can not figure it out! Been told different things but when i look them up.. they don't match.. I'm sure someone on this fine site knows :)
