    Please help! Duckling has swollen leg.

    Last Thursday, and eagle attacked my broody duck and her ducklings. While they were running to escape, either the mother or the juvenile geese that share the pen with them must have stepped on one of the ducklings. I discovered the duckling limping on Friday and separated him. His leg and middle...

    Need help with duck incubation!

    My duck went broody, and some of her ducklings hatched a couple days ago. I candled the remaining eggs, and three of them are hatching, but the last one is far behind in development. I'm guessing the hen laid it halfway through incubation. I took it out and put it in an incubator, but I've never...

    Have a lot of Bantams that need to be Rehomed/Sold

    I have a lot of bantams I need to sell/rehome. I’ve got a trio, some cockerels, and sexed bantam chicks (possibly). I can meet anywhere in Kitsap Co, Wa, and possibly surrounding counties as well. If you aren’t in Kitsap but interested in one of the birds, I’m sure we can work something out...

    What should I feed meat ducklings?

    I'm getting meat ducklings tomorrow (Jumbo Pekins and Grimaud Hybrid Pekins), an I'm wondering what I should feed them as starter. I've got 22% protien meat bird crumbles, 19% protein duck feed (for all life stages), and 18% protein grower/flock raiser. I'll add niacin to their water if I feed...

    Looking to Rehome Dark Brahma Bantam Trio

    I have three Dark Brahma Bantams I am looking to rehome--two hens and a rooster. I got them for a breeding project, but my breeding goals have changed and I don't have space to keep a lot of extra birds. They are 10 months old and I got them as chicks from Ideal Poultry. The hens aren't very...

    Help! Hen paralyzed, not eating, panting, and has egg yolks in poop!

    Yesterday my D'uccle was panting from the heat and generally looking unwell (tail down, standing around not moving). I separated her overnight and gave her electrolyte water and no food (to check for a crop problem today-- she didn't have one). Checked her for egg binding, and no stuck egg...

    Will one turken be a problem?

    I'm going to the feed store today to pick up some chicks, and one of them is a turken. I have no other turkens. Is a single turken likely to get picked on because of the naked neck? Is it better to get 2 or 3 turkens so the naked neck doesn't seem as weird to the other chickens?

    Hen has Swollen, Goopy Eye

    My 11 mo old Black Copper Marans eyelid started swelling some time last week. It had a yellowish crust for the last couple of days. Now her eye is almost swollen shut, and the exposed eye is covered in goo. She does have ocular marek's, not sure if that's related. No changes in behavior, she is...

    Necrotic Toe

    This chick had a hair wrapped around her toe, and the end of her toe became necrotic. I got the hair off, but I'm not sure what I should do with the necrotic segment. Is it possible it will just fall off or should I amputate it?

    Twin Chicks?

    Are these twin chicks or am I missing something? The dark spot on the left is definitely a developing chick, it has an eye and a foot (but that's hard to see in the video). Is the dark spot on the right part of the chick or a second chick? What's the wierd gap between the two? The video was...

    Rooster has crop issue. Please help!

    Yesterday I noticed my Cream Legbar rooster standing in a hunched position. His face was very pale, and his keel bone is very defined. He has definitely lost some weight. It has been very wet the last few days, so I separated him and gave him 6 ml of Corid water in case of Coccidiosis. I removed...

    Help! Chicken has a really bad wing injury!

    I noticed yesterday one of my Delaware pullets had an injury on her wing. It looks to be a really bad peck injury. I think she must have gotten a small scratch on her wing, and the other chickens started to peck the blood and caused a lot of damage. I trimmed the wing feathers around the wound...

    Rooster has white spots and yellows growths on comb

    I first noticed my Cream Legbar roo had a large yellow spot on his comb two days ago... now it has a little bit of pus coming out. He also has white spots on the other side of his comb, and another yellow growth on one of his comb points. His ear lobes have some similar scabbing on them. The...

    Hatching store bought eggs!

    I saw that someone hatched some chicks from the Happy Eggs brand, so I decided to try it! They are Copper Marans and Legbar eggs. My other two attempts at hatching have been unsuccessful, so I have some questions on how to make this hatch go well, if the eggs are fertile. I noticed the air...

    Rooster has swollen ankle joints! Gout?

    I noticed about 2 weeks ago that one of my 7 month old CL roosters has swollen ankle joints. It has not gotten better, and I'm not sure what to do. He has no cuts on his legs or feet, so not an infection. Could he have gout? He is eating an 18% protein grower food.

    Help! What killed my chicken? **GRAPHIC PHOTO**

    I found her dead just a few minutes ago 😭 She was carried away from the chicken coop to a corner of the property and left under a tree. There was an injury on her wing (from being carried?) and her skull was found crushed next to her. None of the other chickens were harmed. We have cats and...

    Is this scaly leg mites?

    I noticed some of my roosters had dry, silvery scales. Could it be because of leg mites? Orange's (their names are their leg band color) ankle joints also appear swollen. Is this related to the scales or is it something else?

    Is this pullet lavender?

    This is Lilac, a bantam EE pullet. I got her from a feed store, so it didn't seem possible to get a lavender EE from hatchery stock, but I don't know what other color she could be. About half of the other BEE's were the same color as her, so if she is lavender, maybe it's just common for BEEs...

    Help! Bantam is sick! Very lethargic and no appetite!

    I found my 3.5 month old bantam cochin just lying down in his pen with his eyes closed, not moving. I thought he was dead because he was so still. He would just let the other bantams peck him with no response. I picked him up, and he just flopped down again. I took him to the barn to try to see...
