Hey everyone! I'm saving up for a 10-gallon tank as well as live plants and gravel. I'm planning on putting shrimp and betta fish in there. Is it fine if I put two female bettas together? I know that a ten-gallon tank is enough space, I'm just wondering if two is too little of an amount; just...

Hey everyone!! Just wanted to start off by saying, long time no see! If anybody is curious as to why I haven't been on BYC for a while/ where my sister has gone, shoot me a DM! Anyway, yesterday we got chicks from Tractor Supply. We have one Americano, and she's mine! I'm actually not sure what...

This is quite urgent; a friend of mine had a duck eye pecked out by a chicken. It seems broken, the eye, but I can't tell; the eye is have 'glued' shut from an unknown substance. From what I can see, it's like a void. It's leaking a bubbly, clear fluid too; not excessive, just kinda coming out...

I have a baby cayuga duck who's a few months old. She's always shaking and she always flops over onto one side not able to get up. We help her back up and then she just walks away. Her quack sounds different and she has a hard time walking sometimes. Nonetheless, I love her! I won't cull her...

is ignoring someone like blocking? bc i rly need to block someone. what does ignoring do, exactly? Can they still see my account and postings?

Alright, there seems to be something wrong with my duckling, but I can't quite figure out what. Maybe the BYC Community can help. It all started when we had a broody chicken. We have ducks along with the chickens (we bought the ducks August 2020, a few months old around the time) and they were...

Backstory: Previously we had a white leghorn. she had a bloody butt, very severe.the blood was coming out of her butt, not from pecking. We snipped the feathers around her butt and watched her and separated her. she got better. a few months later, she got another bloody butt. not as severe as...

i found this either starling or robin egg outside. not sure how long it's been there, and its right outside of a bird nest which is maybe 5-10 feet off the ground..? Not sure if it's fertile. There's this red splotch on the inside that worries me. If it's fine, I'll put it back. If not, Probably...

I recently saw my sister's chicken, Beb, limping around. I picked her up and checked her foot to see some sort of 'scab'. It might be bumblefoot, but since I'm a new chicken owner, this is my first case of whatever this is. Based on basic images, I can't decide whether it is or not, and what to...

today was a sad day :( my sister's white leghorn (Yello) abruptly died. well, not so quite abruptly... maybe around late 2020, like november, we saw her getting chased around by the other chickens. we picked her up to see her butt extremely bloody. We snipped off her butt feathers and cleaned...

Oh gawd in my last thread I told you about the quail with a broken leg (please view my last thread should be called quail with broken foot). Everyone said not to worry and just wait it out. I put him back with his friends. Today I was watching them and I saw his eye like this. I immediately...

My dad was refilling the food in the quail food. As he closed the door, a quail tried to run through. The leg was squished. It’s been a few hours since this happened. I’m not sure if this is a broken leg or not, but it’s become swollen. He just sits and doesn’t evade my hand. He does kick and...

I had bought quails, and there was disaster after disaster. One quail had an enormous hematoma on her foot, bigger than her head. We didn't realize it until we got home. her foot was swollen too. She couldn't walk from the pain. The hematoma ripped off on its own. She was flapping around, blood...

I went outside to find my chicken wheezing. She was completely fine before. Always healthy, no previous problems. Video attached below. Any medicines or anything? Please help!

I was checking on my quails and one appeared to not move. This was not normal as the quails are very scared of me so they’ll usually be running around, like dodging my hand but now this quail was just laying down, so I just went over and tried to pick her up and she didn’t respond at all. she...

Hello! My Cayuga ducks have been living with my for a few months. Everything was fine, but one of them is getting a watery eye. I suspect sticky eye, where something is stuck in their eye. How can I cure my duck? Never had any previous problems, though. Is there a medicine or something? Help me out!

my quail has died. i recently bought 16. all were fine except one of them. She was in so much pain she couldn't walk. she was losing feathers from other quails trampling her. she couldn't even get food or water from her pain. I flipped her over and she had some bumble foot. along with that there...

I was checking in on my quails, and when I look at them, the females are all jumping! they're hopping over each other and everything, but the males aren't doing anything, they're just sitting like usual. Sometimes the female will stick her rear up slightly for like 5 seconds, and then start...
