I had two poults that I raised with 9 salmon faverolles, 3 almost 4 months old. one of the turkeys died yesterday (predator, dealt with), Will the remaining turkey be lonely being the only turkey or will it be fine with the salmon faverolles?? They don’t perch together since the turkey likes...
Another one of my chickens has come up with something and it might be respiratory but it’s also really strange, i’ve dealt with respiratory issues in the past but she’s just really bad... it might even be something else. Her name is Gertrude and she’s around 1 year old with a flock of 30 others...
Hi all, I have a 2 year old female pekin she was totally fine yesterday and now she just won’t move?? or eat which she usually LOVES eating corn and peas. She won’t even swim and keeps making weird movements with her mouth like she’s thirsty or something, her pupils are very strange like they’re...
I have a 14 week old chick my broody hen hatched with 4 other chicks, this morning while letting them out she is slow, wobbly, and her wings are droopy and she stays to the ground, her poop seems to be normal and she’s still eating. It’s like her right foot went lame and her toes are curled...
So I went to take care of my flock today and I found one of my hens (I don’t believe she has layed before) Like this, it seems to be an egg and she keeps pushing to get it out? what do I do? How do I fix this? There’s no opening to try and get the egg out.
My 1 1/2 year old Brahma hen is sneezing and she has her mouth somewhat open and it’s kinda like she can’t breathe, I just now noticed now putting all of my chickens into their shed. Is this contagious or lethal to the other chickens? What should I do and what is wrong with her?
I was cleaning up my yard and I just had a tree trimmed so there was mini sticks everywhere... I threw one back not knowing one of my chickens were back there, and I must’ve hit her because she fell down like in shock, like she was lifeless... her eye is somewhat bleeding (the other is fine) and...
Hi, I have an almost one year old silkie hen who keeps like falling over and spasming (Kinda) and freaking out, the first time I saw her do this was outside a couple of hours ago and I brought her inside to check her over and she seemed fine, she eats and drinks and is capable of walking around...
One of my silkie roosters got killed by a hawk a couple days ago. (Walked out to the hawk trying to drag him away, he was just protecting his girls.. which I found down a hill, alive thankfully.. but still sad :hit) He and his 2 silkie girlfriends were by each-others side 24/7 and it’s sad to...
I hatched 8 silkie chicks a month and a half ago, (They are still inside, too cold to be outside) And I woke up to two of them crowing.... My other silkie rooster didn’t till he was like 6 months, this is very odd haha! Their crowing is absolutely hilarious though, they were my top favs, sad...
My chickens coop (I actually use my garage) is 24° which I feel is not ideal, there is quite a lot of chickens in there (60) will they be okay? I definitely don’t want to put heat lamps up. Also, my other 6 month old chicken ran off this morning which didn’t come back at night time. I know we...
Ok so this is a really weird question but I have an almost year old silkie rooster who has always been weird, he doesn’t really mate with the other chickens, he usually stays by himself. So I just went into my coop to check for eggs and there he was, he was laying in a nesting box and throwing...
I know this isn’t chicken related but a couple minutes ago my EE rooster who’s under a year, came up and attacked one of my baby pekin ducklings, he got him on the head and neck and his neck is bleeding. What can I do? Or will the duckling just eventually die?
So this morning when I went out the let my chickens out I noticed one of my welsummer hens deceased on the floor, above her was where she used to perch at night. No visible wounds, like she was sleeping and then just fell dead. She was definitely older than our other hens, she wasn’t laying that...
This silkie is about 4.5 months, pretty sure it’s a hen but the comb throws me off since it’s not a walnut comb like normal silkies have. I wanted to know peoples opinions on its gender. I’d assume if it was male it would be crowing.
I have three pekins on which i’m confused about the gender of. I’ll be able to take better pictures if needed. I’m not very good with sexing ducks :confused:
I came outside this morning to let my chickens and ducks out and noticed a some, not a lot of these tracks. I’m not very good at tracks but i’m sure people on here are.
