    Duck acting weird?

    After someone clipped her wings, the wrong way might I add, one of our ducks has been acting weird. She’s been laying down all day and she hasn’t been as active as usual, and won’t move her wings. I don’t know if these two things correlate (the wings and the behavior), but I know they both...

    My chicken died. What happened?

    One of my chickens passed away today. Since ive been really distracted lately I never noticed anything wrong with her. She ate normally and drank water. For the past two days she didnt lay any eggs, but she would stand in the nesting box with another chicken. She’s an Easter egger and she’s one...

    Female duck mounting drake?

    I was outside replacing our ducks water, when I saw Daffy (my female duck) trying to mount the drake. I’m so confused. I’ve heard of females mounting other females, but never this! What’s going on? Should I be worried? I also have pictures of either of them just to make sure I have the genders...

    Broken leg???

    I think my duckling might’ve broke or dislocated her leg. She isn’t acting like she’s in too much distress though except sometimes she’ll peep a bit louder and she stomps around a lot and won’t lay down unless I’m holding her. Here are some pictures. If it’s broken, what do I do? I don’t think...

    Are these ducklings overheated?

    We recently bought two ducklings for the first time, so I’m new to duck keeping. I’m not sure if it’s just me but these ducklings look overheated. Are they too hot? And if so how can I cool them down? I tried moving the brooder further from the heat lamp, but they’re still acting like this...

    Sweet pea

    This is sweet pea. She is a wheated Easter egger. She’s our youngest pullet, but that doesn’t stop her from being the heaviest of all, and overweight. She lays pink eggs, which she usually eats, and she’s very broody. She’s also extremely brave. When our alpha hen, biscuit, is laying when she...

    Easter egger pecking eggs!

    I have an Easter egger pullet, her name is Sweet pea, she’s wheated, lays pink eggs, and adorable, as well as an angel to have around. The only problem is, recently, she’s been pecking holes into her eggs. She’s been really broody recently which makes it seem weird. Also, the holes are always in...

    What is going on?

    One of my pullets, an Easter Egger named Sweet pea, is throwing up. Every time I pick her up, and every time she lays down, she will throw up some white liquid. She hasn’t been acting too different except for less running around and being a little bit quieter. All we feed them is their regular...

    Help! Chicken got attacked!

    One of our hens, named Biscuit, attacked one of our pullets while she was laying an egg. Her comb is bleeding out and her eye is swollen. What medicine or procedure should we take to help her? I don’t have any experience with these types of injuries.

    Are these berries poisonous

    My hens have been trying to eat these berries for a while and I kind of want to pull a branch down for them but I’m not sure if it’s okay for them, I haven’t seen any birds eating them but they are kind of big and we also don’t have many birds around here, so I’m not sure. Here are some...

    Is something bad happening?

    So one of our Easter egger chicks has been acting weird. I mean, screaming, running around, getting mad at everything, pecking walls, and he’s been collapsing every time he’s taking a break. I’m not sure what’s wrong with him or if it’s anything serious but I thought I should ask BYC. If you...

    My chickens are crazy for treats

    We own 3 hens currently and I have this bag of treats I give them every day. Ever since they first had them, they go crazy for them. I found them at tractor supply, they are called golden egg nugget treats. Now they run to me anytime they hear the bag shaking because they know it means treats...

    Bathing chicks?

    We recently purchased 4 ameraucana chicks and they got very dirty very fast. I’m not sure if i should bathe them or not because water is dangerous for chickens but if I do bathe them, how?

    Small problem

    So we recently purchased some ameraucana chicks and we already own 3 hens. We’ve come across an issue, though. The hens don’t like the chicks. We’ve tried slowly introducing them but no matter what the hens try to attack the chicks. When they are old enough, we will get it them into the same...

    Why won’t my chickens eat oyster shells?

    I have 3 hens and they just started laying. We’ve fed them oyster shells but they don’t eat them and just spill them everywhere. I was wondering if there was an alternative to oyster shells? I’m really worried about it. I can’t find any other calcium supplements at the store.
