    Gosling got out!!

    My smallest gosling managed to get out of their outdoor brooder, and we didn't find her for a few hours because of a bad rainstorm. We found her covered in mud, so we gently rinsed her with warm water as best we could and tried to wipe off her beak. She ate some water soaked food, but I noticed...

    Broken Thigh Baby Chick

    One of the chicks fell and broke her leg. It's broken up in the fluffy part, chicken anatomy diagrams say it's her thigh. It's dangling and flopping, she keeps twisting it at the break so I'm holding her. She can't seem to move that leg. No swelling that I can see, and no blood. I'm not sure...

    Hen or roo? Breed?

    Any ideas about what breed this bantam is? They were just sold as "bantam". Also, any ideas about if they're a pullet or cockerel? It's about 6 weeks old, and its a little feisty with the other chicks! Still very sweet, just definitely the boss. Thanks for any help identifying this lil one!

    I have 10 Cornish cross chicks (this is my second time raising up Cornish x), they're all about 2 weeks old, and one is nearly completely naked on her back! It's like there's not even an idea of feathers except head, tail, belly, and wings! She's also the smallest of them all. I know they're...

    Mystery Bantam Chick!

    My uncle gifted me 5 bantam chicks yesterday, the rest I'm fairly sure are sebright and welsummer, but this one has me stumped. It doesn't look much like any bantam chicks I'm aware of. The closest I could guess is buff Brahma. Any ideas?
