    Little Cochin with balance issues...

    For those that follow My Pet Chicken on FB, you may have seen their post yesterday about chicks abandoned at the post office. I have them now, picked them up this morning from the person who got them yesterday. 2 didn't make it. From what I heard, they'd been at the PO for more than a day...

    mixing different ages?

    I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one already, but figured it didn't hurt to ask. I have three chicks in the brooder now. They arrived at the feed store on Wednesday morning, probably hatched Monday. I've finally got my mom sold on a silkie or two, but I'm having a hard time finding...

    Kitten rescue with a sad ending

    So yesterday early evening, I got a call from a lady at the cat rescue i sometimes work with. A man had come into the store while they were doing adoptions, said he found two newborn kittens under his truck. One of them had already died, and he was asking about what to do. So I told him to bring...

    will a hen brood if she's not laying yet?

    My sweet brahma gets picked on by the other girls, so she's isolated from them. The plan is to get a few chicks for her to raise. Now, she's not laying yet. I've heard brahmas can take a lot longer than most to start laying. If I give her some fake eggs to sit on, is it possible she will go broody?

    Need some advice.

    I have a problem with my girls. I currently have two hens in my "big" coop (which is big enough for 4-6 hens). I have Beulah, an older Australorp, and Paisley, an EE. Then I have my two younger girls (not quite laying yet, but soon!) in a smaller tractor. I have Alice, a white leghorn, and...

    Rescue Kittens in So Cal

    I have three kittens that have been rescued that are in need of homes. The first one is Remington. He's about 8 weeks old, very cute and cuddly. He was bottle fed, his momma abandoned him when someone moved her kittens. She took back 4 of them, but left this one, and I ended up with him. He's...

    open wound, graphic pic, help ASAP!

    Yesterday I decided to introduce my younger hens to my older girls, thinking everyone was old enough and there wouldn't be any major problems. I was WRONG! My leghorn and EE pullets are fine, but Norma-Jean, the brahma (my favorite, too!) is not looking good at all. I just went out to feed them...

    How to catch a cat?

    This is mostly a rant, but some advice is welcome! Pumpernick (aka Buddy) is about a year old. He only has 3 legs, after some dog decided he'd make a good snack. I've had him since he was 7 weeks old, and he's my little baby (yes, I'm one of those cat people). After his amputation, I decided to...

    Delaware?

    Alice was sold to us as a Delaware. My mom says all the delaware chicks were all white. at the time, the feed store only had Delaware, EE, and Light Brahmas. This is the only pic I could get of her. She's flighty, won't stay still. Not at all friendly, and she's the dominant of the three...

    just lost one :(

    My little brahma chick didn't make it... she just stopped thriving, and over the course of a few hours, stopped eating and drinking, and got really weak. I got home from work right as my mom was getting home from the feed store. She was trying to pull a switcheroo, replacing the dying chick with...

    New chicks!

    And I didn't even have to sneak them home! My mom saw them at the feed store and decided to get them! I guess my subtle hints worked, lol. the feed store supposedly had "ameraucaunas", delawares, and light brahmas. This is supposedly a delaware and an EE, although the little chipmunk has yellow...

    Grieving- what should I do?

    In October, I met someone. We started texting regularly, and started dating in the beginning of November. We had been taking time getting to know each other, he wasn't very talkative when it came to his feelings, but each time we saw each other, he opened up a little bit more, and I learned a...

    Amputee kitty

    I'm known at work as the cat lady, so last monday, i got a text from a coworker who's neighbor found a kitten in his backyard, only the dogs had gotten to him first. Long story short, his front right leg was broken, quite a bit of tissue was missing, and as I later found out, there was severe...
