    Anyone Know About Wild Rabbits?

    My sister's cat brought a baby bunny inside her house. The thing is so young its eyes aren't even open. It was too late to call any wild life rehabilitator. I'm going to cal tomorrow but I just need info to keep it through the night at least.

    Skin Issues on Chickens

    Chicken has flaky, white skin on back of head. It's causing feathers to fall out and not regrow. The chicken is fine otherwise. I found a thing on it a while back and now can't find the site again. I need to know how to fix this so she can look nice again. When I found it the first time the...

    Bubbly Mucus and Losing Balance

    Noticed this morning ome of my hens acting funny. She seemed to have squatted down like she was being submissive, but the roo near her didn't do anything and she just sort of fell back onto her rear and she righted herself but then had a hard time righting herself once and for all. She did...

    Pale Spots on Roo

    I just noticed these very pale spots on my boy's face. Is this an issue? And, yeah, he was beat up the other day by another roo that's what's going on with his comb, hence why he is inside.

    Lethargic, pale green poop, diarrhea, puffy crop, can't stand *This May Help Someone*

    Not an emergency, but I wanted to have this on the forums just in case someone was searching for something like I had been. On Saturday, Sept 29th, I noticed by little (roughly) 12-week-old cockerel was lethargic. I didn't think much of it at the time, though. On Sunday, the 30th, I saw he was...

    Found a Blind Bird Today! *Also 2 baby squirrels last month*

    Yup, both eyes either gone or never born with them. So weird. And I sort of wonder if it was deaf as well. I made plenty of noise as I walked up but it wasn't freaked out in the slightest. It only flew away once I'd put my hand around it. It flew off pretty wonky and landed in a nearby tree...

    Slow/Sour Crop

    Yesterday one of my Seramas had a crop that was puffed up and squishy. It was well into the afternoon by this time. He has also been lethargic. I read the article on here about slow/sour crop but I still need some help. So I helped him vomit, didn't get up much, but the crop wasn't as puffy...

    What is He Doing and Why?

    Question: I have a little cockerel, about 8 weeks, possibly a week or two older, who enjoys hopping up on my hand to hang out. Well...lately he does this little...wiggle when he does. It looks like he is trying to, lol, have his little way with my hand. I'll push him off my hand when he does...

    Suggestion for Keeping Smell Down

    So I moved my chicks from their little brooder bin to a lovely 6ftx6ft room. They are still very small, but the bin was just a little too close for the 10 of them. Somehow, lol, the smell is so much worse than when they were in the bin! I've got plenty of bedding down and all, way more than...

    Aaw Poor Chickies

    I just moved my 10 Serama chicks to a nice big room (roughly 6'x6'). They do fine for several minutes but then a few start peeping really loud. I'll go see what's up and they stop and start to move out from their huddle, lol. If I go in there they'll all come to me and stand near me. Before...

    Separating Chicks for Extra Room

    So the brooder I have set up for my chicks I feel is getting a touch too small. I'd like to split the chicks up so they can have more room. I was wondering what would be a good way to separate them. There are about 3, maybe 4, that are getting red on their combs already. I know males fight and...

    Dust Bath for Chicks

    Two of my chicks have tried to take dust baths. One on a towel and the other in the food bowl. I didn't realize they needed that so soon, they're not quite 2 weeks old. My sister didn't have dust baths for her chicks and I never came across anything that talked about that for chicks. Do I need...

    Cleaning Stuck on Poop Off Chick

    I've got a chick with a clumo of poop stuck on real good. The chick is only 6 days old. Should I just do warm water and let it soak some so it comes unstuck? This should be pretty simple, but I just want to be extra careful.

    Shrinkwrapped??

    I was worried about one egg so I read the assisted hatching thread and made a little hole then carefully peeled the shell back around the air cell. I could see through candling that the chick hadn't even absorbed the yolk sac. Once I had the shell open enough I could see the chick wasn't moving...

    Air Cells

    I had 3 of the 14 viable eggs under a broody hen for about 4 days. Yesterday she stopped being broody so I took the eggs, candled to check for movement, then placed them back in the incubator. They had been candled on day 14 and air cells marked. At that time they were right on with the other...

    Broody Hen Off Nest a Lot

    I've had this broody hen at my house sitting on 3 eggs since Saturday night. She has gotten off the eggs very few times and barely eaten anything, until today. I finally had to fill up her food dish this morning cuz it was pretty low. Put food in it on Saturday evening when I moved her here...

    Will They be Ok?

    So my sister and I moved her broody hen to my house, which is on the same property, so not far. We set her up real nice and I gave her 3 of the biggest eggs I had (trying to hatch Seramas). At first she just decided to try and roost on the side of the bin we put her and the nesting crate in...
