Ok my little brother's 12 birthday is coming and we are thinking a pet Mud turtle, but we need enclosure ideas for this species. Up to 150 dollars is the limit, so give me your ideas!
Ok, last year my state got hit with a hurricane and a large stick injured one of my roosters. Well he got better and was able to stand. Couple months later he was limping again and has continued too. Someone said it looked like a fused tendon, but I want your guys opinion on this matter. He is a...
Hello, recently one of my buff brahmas hatched 2 chicks. One of the of the chicks stands out as it has blue legs. Now I do have porcelain d'uccles roosters in the pen, so I'm wondering if this chick could be a mix between my brahmas and the d'uccles?
Ok so we just got some D'uccles Bantams from Ideal hatchery and one the chicks was wet. Well as soon as got it under a heat lamp it seems fine. Yet none of the other chicka were wet, nor was the box, so was it pre matured brithed? It does seems smaller than the rest and it's feet are cock-eyed...
I have a little D'uccle her name is Moonshine and she is currently 4 months old. She has perosis in one of her legs. She starting to get feathers on her legs, is their anyway I could trip them to make it more comfortable for her and stop infections.
Okay, so i has 9 baby chicks from ideal, now I only have 1. All thanks to a fox and the hurricane. I let the babies out after Laura hit so they could be outside. I never seen a fox around here, so imagine my shock when I found fox prints and feathers. I'm guessing it came after Laura hit. So now...
Okay so my friend recently bought some chicks. She said they were sold to her as production red, but to me they look like rhode Island reds. Any thoughts?
Hello, I have a 1 week old chick with scissor beak. The case itself doesn't look severe. The chick itself is one of the bullies. Its big and plump and acts like a normal chick. I give him regular crumble and sometimes crumble mixed with egg. So any other advice on raising him?
I yes we have i just received my new little baby chicks and one of the alikies seem to be limping. He acting normal he just can't get around. Can i help in any way?
Okay so it's my first ordering online so I'm excited, but scared. The website said they were supposed to ship today. Yet we hadn't had a confirmation call or email. Should i be worried? Is this normal and am i just paranoid? Also I called the post office telling them about chicks, so i dont...
Hi yes my ducklings are getting cramped in the brooder and they starting to get feathers. They are around 3 to 4 weeks. So is it a good time to let out of the brooder and allow them to stay with my hens until they can go with the males ducks? Also one is a pekin so he or she is bigger than the...
Okay so we all know a Brahma should have a pea comb. My question is though can that comb be a little pointy. My light brahmas comb don't exactly lay flat. Is this normal? Also they are a year old, so could be a case of not being fully grown?
Okay today will l was feeding my chickens when my rooster rolled in mud like a dog. He's a Brahma with featherd feet. So naturally I'm trying to get of the mud because I have been told it hurts them. Also he has water to last 2 days and a dust bath. So I'm confused did his body get use to the...
Hello i live in Louisiana so naturally we get a lot of rain. I have a coop that old 2 ducks and 8 brahmas. We are building another coop for the ducks. My question is, is the mud hurting my chickens. They don't mind it and prefer the coop over going in the grass when I let them out. The land i...
We went to our local feed and they were selling ducks. We have two rouens who are mixed breeds so we just decided to get some. We got 1 yellow one yesterday, I'm guessing he's Pekin because he has a white tail. And today we got 2 new ones. I'm guessing they are rouen because of strip below their...
Hi, yes I'm are getting some chicks this month and I keep my heat lamp in the coop since I never know when Im getting new chicks. The chickens can't get to it, but my problem is when I turn it on it smells like burnt toast. Nothing seems broken they're just a bunch of cob webs on it. So should I...
