    Stargazing rooster

    My Silkie rooster has been cocking his head and occasionally twisting his neck for the past couple of days, or stargazing, as I saw it was called. I thought he was just having one of those days, but no. Other than stargazing and stumbling around, he seems okay. He seems to be eating and...

    Egg bound hen - am I handling this right?

    I soaked her for around 15 minutes to get her to relax her muscles. Dried her, took her into my garage in a crate so she'd be more comfortable. We massaged her a bit and tried to get the egg out manually, but to no avail (though I think it did get pushed out a bit more). It's been a little over...

    Sinus infection? Coryza?

    The area under my hen's eye is swollen, and the eye itself is watery and kinda cruddy. Her head doesn't smell very good, either. This started a week or two ago. It initially looked like her eye was irritated from getting some dust in it, so I flushed it out and she seemed a little better, but...

    Crusty, runny eyes + one clogged nostril - how to fix this?

    My little old Modern Game rooster has had some crud in his eyes, mainly the right, for a while, along with some tough boogers in his right nostril. Other than that, he's still really spry, eats and drinks and does anything a healthy chicken would do. I thought this was just something that came...

    Domesticated ducks dropped off in pond - what should I do?

    Not too far from where I live there's this one busy road with these little man-made rock ponds where a bunch of mallards like to settle. Well, today, when passing these ponds, I noticed two big white ducks in there with them; definitely not the wild critters I was used to seeing. I pulled over...

    ♘ SkyHerd ♘ A Wild Horse ℛoleplay

    Ω Background Ω It all starts when a mare goes into estrus in spring. If they are in a herd, the lead stallion will breed with them and keep them protected from other stallions. If they happen to be rogues, they will often be herded away by bachelor stallions. Bachelor stallions may also come...

    Sprained/Broken leg?

    Not too long ago, I was out taking care of my [unfortunately balding] Polish frizzle hen. Being a crazy spaz of a bird she crawled up my head in a mortified daze as I tried to deal with her lack of a crest and crazy long claws, but not before taking a plunge to the ground. I knew she was more...

    She's not all there

    I press my cheek against the bitterness of the bath's tiles, listening to your labored, wavering breaths spill from your beak. You lay in a crate above me, wrapped into the warmth of a blanket with your eyes clasped tight. Your crop is engorged with food, hardened against your feathers. Your...

    *URGENT* Hen with a presumably impacted crop won't poop.

    Please help me. My hen, who presumably has an impacted crop, is extremely lethargic. She's been in all day and I've done as much as possible, treating her with olive oil and massages. She isn't wanting to drink or eat, the last she did was around 3:00-4:00 and it was very little. She's been...

    Diaherra/cold - how do I treat this?

    One of my hens seems to have come down with a cold. She isn't completely out of it, as she still wanders around the yard with her two buddies, but she seems tired and has loose, yellowish/whitish, typical diaherra looking poops. She does eat, just a little less. No eggs, but she hasn't been...

    Roleplay ideas thread. What would you like to see?

    I've been considering making a roleplay for quite a while now, and quite honestly, I believe it's about time a realistic one is brought up. I would like to make a historic RP, maybe something where a monarch in some era (I'm thinking somewhere in the 1600s, but I need you opinions) has royalty...

    Two Roleplay Ideas - What Do You Think?

    Lately, I've had a few ideas for original RPs in the back of my mind, as I've been wanting to open up another successful, although original RP. Each of the following are based off of urban legends. Idea 1: The Man in the Bunny Costume The story is to take place in the later half of the 1950's...
