    Chicken dying and no idea why!!

    **video attached** I am devastated right now 😭 One of my RIR, my BIGGEST chicken is dying and I can't figure out what the heck happened. She's only a year old and was vaccinated as a chick. She's one of 15 hens plus 6 ducks. They were all out in the backyard with me yesterday, ate fine and all...

    Has anyone used shoes on chickens?

    **not my picture but looks just like mine ** I've got a sweet white cochin that gets picked on every once in a while. It's not always from the same hen and it's always only at roosting time. She likes to snuggle up and the other chickens get mad because they want space. They have PLENTY of...

    Another broody question: to hatch or not to hatch?

    My 1 year old Muscovy has decided that her and her younger friend..known as the "snitch"..are going to collect a clutch of eggs no matter what I think about it. The oldest, Yara, started getting broody a few weeks ago. At the time she was the only one sitting so I would wait until I saw her go...

    Little girl not feeling well. Any ideas?

    This is Wednesday my 12 week old Muscovy. I noticed she wasn't laying with her siblings yesterday. They are always together no matter what. Same thing today. I picked her up this morning and didn't see anything so I set her down in one of their wading pools. She immediately started splashing and...

    Please..please tell me I'm wrong!

    I got a set of EE's, 4 all hatched together. One I knew was a rooster early on. One is definitely a puller. These two have filled in all of a sudden and now I think I have 3 roosters 😭

    Muscovy duckling bill question

    Does anyone know what this is from? The marks on their bills seem to fade and return but I can't figure out why. Is this from them getting each other's bills when eating? I have two older muscovies with red and white bills. Could it be that?

    Is this a good time to add a peacock to my flock?

    I've raised guineas, chickens and ducks but my heart will always want a peacock. I grew up with them and I know I won't be happy until I have one of my own. We have an enormous coop and all of my birds free range during the day but within a very large fenced in area. Everyone goes in the coop...

    How do i get this duck in the water?

    I adopted this adorable couple (Jovi and Yara Muscovy 😂) this weekend. I adore them already! Until their pond gets dug this week I got them a little pool. They won't go near it. They love the pan of water but outside of looking over the edge of the pool they aren't interested. I even stole my...

    Eggs! Finally!!

    Everything has been so crazy around our house lately that i haven't spent much time outside. I let them out, feed , water and then they just do their thing until coop time. I had quit looking for eggs under bushes. Tonight I went to put everyone in the coop and there were three perfect eggs...

    Getting the coop ready for winter!

    Am I going overboard? I came out this morning to our first layer of frost. We are outside of Raleigh, NC so we definitely don't get blizzards but it gets down in the teens at times. I was thinking of putting up insulation board on the walls, heavy plastic over the wire mesh on the door and...

    I know what I have now!!

    I have figured out the genders of my guineas based on what I found on here! There are some real smarties here!! The "come back" yell that I here is obvious but mine are always stuck so close together I couldn't tell who was doing it!! So I read about the wattle shapes and also about the "side...

    Is my guinea trying to nest already??

    Hi everyone! My 8 guineas were born May 20th. They are still shedding their baby feathers on their heads but are very healthy and spoiled ROTTEN. Last night my husband and I removed a thorny bush because the guineas have been spending a lot of time in there and I didn't want them to get use to...

    3 legged guinea

    Hey everyone! This is my first post so please excuse the noob 😁 I just got 10 guinea babies this morning. They were shipped by Tractor Supply. They are all healthy (so far). Chirping, eating and drinking. One has a deformed third leg that has grown where the tail would be. The foot is pink...
