    Who's A Writer?

    Hey all! I'm a bit curious, who's a writer on here and who's not- and if you are a writer, what are you working on right now? A little bit about me: I started writing my first bit of fiction when I fourteen... mostly on a dare. Since then, I have accumulated, uh.... *double checks files* - 10...

    Prolapse- how to treat or humanely cull

    Hello and happy Thanksgiving to you all. I went out to check on my ladies and noticed this girl with a rather large prolapse... I've dealt with smaller prolapses and they mostly healed up themselves, but this one won't stay in! I used a little bit of Vaseline and tried to gently fold her back...

    Heat Stroke- Unresponsive Rooster

    We lost 2 chickens yesterday due to the heatwave here in SoCal. I walked out today to check on the birds and found one rooster laying unresponsive on the ground. I rushed him inside and had cool water pour over his feet for a minute, then his comb and finally placed him in a bin of cool (not...

    Burst Artery?

    Hello all! Curious question for those of you who've kept birds- have you ever had an instance where a major artery literally explodes? We had a 2yr/o canary that had a bad case of scaley mites which we had treated by a vet 2x (revolution and doxycycline). Yesterday I noticed she wasn't getting...

    What am I?

    Hello y'all! I had picked up this little guy from a mixed bin of bantam chicks at TSC a few months back, and he is now 9wks old today and I have no idea what he's supposed to be! Someone had suggested that he'll turn out to be a BB red old English game and another a silver duckwing- problem is...

    Chick with no vent?

    Hi y'all! I'm posting for a friend who just hatched out some chicks last week. She texted me asking about this one chick in particular that doesn't seem to have a vent... there is a small hole above where the vent typically is and that's how the chick poops and all. Problem is, the hole seems...

    Lethargic rescue chick

    Blessed Easter! I took in this little one a few days ago- she was a TSC rescue and was a bit lethargic on day one. Her companion passed away the same day and was breathing heavily and gasping (she had been trampled in the broader bin). This little one here, named Fatima, has been a trooper...

    It happened again- rescue idea?

    Hey y'all! So it happened again... I walked into a feed store (this time it was TSC) for something completely not chick related and happened to see dying baby chicks... this is how I got into chickens... and how 30% of my flock expanded. 🤦‍♀️ I'm not sure if these little guys will make it, but...

    Time for another guessing game!

    Ms. Zipporah (Zippy for short) came to us as a rescue when she was about 3-4wks old. She is approximately 6-7wks old today and we still haven't a clue what breed she might be. Someone had previously suggested Calico Princess, but I haven't found any pictures of the breed with white/grey wings...

    First time TSC chicks and Broody Mama!

    Bit the bullet and finally bought some chicks from TSC. I've heard mixed opinions on the sexing for TSC chicks, so I'm a little nervous! These little guys are for my extremely broody Delaware, 'Helen'. This is also our first time letting a broody raise chicks, so a bit nervous about that as...

    Worms vs Worms vs Worms

    Hello all! I have a bit of a curious question for all you hobby fishers/worm experts. What's the difference between earthworms, redworms and Canadian nightcrawlers? (At least to a chicken.) I'm sure there's some complex differences between the regions they come from and what not, but to me (and...

    One of my button quail that I hatched out just passed... the youngest hatched out on 1/27.... the oldest is about a week older. They're all fully feathered.

    Cuckoo Maran Rooster- SoCal

    Hello! I have 2 maran roos that I had oh-so-wished-were-hens, but obviously they're not. We tried rehoming them for a while, but finally decided to keep them because no one was willing to take both boys together (they were extremely bonded.) But recently, one of the brothers has started...
