Hello! I'm about to have some baby pigeons on the farm, and I'm looking for a recipe on how to make something similar to crop milk, for my two babies. They haven't hatched yet, so I'm trying to get a headstart on the situation...in case I need to hand raise them.
It's the middle of winter, and...
I have a...not even year old Cream Legbar chicken, who I got as an assumed hen. She keeps chasing me and my animals around, also being rather dominant towards the other hens in the flock. Just a dominant hen? Do floofs matter on this breed? Because I got two of them, and this chickens afro is a...
Hey y'all! Recently I've had two hens die quite suddenly. The morning of, they both seemed fine, then next thing you know, I come out and they're just dead! We cut them open and dissected the bodies...and came across large blood clots in both birds. (I would like to mention, that both these...
Hey y'all! Just wanted to get some advice about keep ducks and chickens in the same flock. I know it's done, but before I do it, I want to know if there are any items I should know that may cause harm to my hens. I've heard of things like male ducks breeding hens, and it causing problems with...
Hello! I have a very small hen...like legit tiny😂 she is a frizzle bantam, and just never grew to the right size. She is constantly being picked on by her other flock mates, and I just don't know what to do anymore! Do I put her in a pen by herself for the rest of her life?! So the question I...
Hello! I have a 6 year old hen who has been dealing with Arthritis. She broke her leg when she was about 2 or 3 and hasn't really ever fully recovered. She has always had a gimp, but moves around with the flock normally! She eats and drinks, and even hops up on the roost at night. She always...

Hello! I have a hen who has been laying soft shelled eggs for awhile now, but since recent she has been laying them everyday. What I notice is, that she is fine in the morning once I let the flock out, but when evening comes, she slows down...she goes to...

I didn't know what to put this thread under, but I guess you could call this a chicken behavior! ☺️ Hello! I have a year old frizzle bantam rooster who is really mean to my hens. He is nice to me, but not to them. So, I will just make a list of all the things he does.

Hello! I have two Guinea Fowl, who are crazy! They are very flighty, and never let you hold them. They are getting big enough, that they should go outside with the rest of the flock (my chickens). But I'm worried that they will just fly away, as that is what our last batch did. Hoping someone...
So recently I had a Rhode Island Red get a vent prolapse. I had never dealt with it before, but after two weeks of treatment she was back to her usual self! I was so excited. But then, two days after I put her back with the flock, she tried to lay an egg. And it was a soft shelled. I noticed she...
