    MANY assorted bantams for sale! Some very rare!

    Kansas/Missouri only, unless you are willing to meet! Since we had to buy more bantam chicks this year than we wanted to in order to get the breeds we wanted, we now have some of our cute little guys up for adoption. They are only a couple months old, and have been raised as our pets, so they...

    Wimpy is now my shower pal! lol Pic

    Had to evict Wimpy from the tub temporarily so I could take a shower. She didn't mind, just hung out in the bathroom with me. A couple times, she walked over to the doorway and contemplated taking a stroll around the house, but all I had to do was calmly say "Wimpy, don't you do it!" and she...

    Turkey with suspected Sour Crop. PLEASE tell me what she can take to help her, she is weak!

    My Turkey, Wimpy, seems to have a sour crop. She is not eating hardly at all the past two days, almost no solids in her poop, crop is squishy, and she keeps doing this "wretching" motion with her neck, but she can't get anything up. I gave her a tiny bit of food by hand(and got bitten really...

    Best medication for my turkey? She's sick to her stomach/not eating.

    My turkey, Wimpy, seems to be sick to her stomach. She is several years old and has always been healthy as a horse until the past two days. Her appetite is poor all of a sudden, her stomach is making gurgling sounds, and she is having runny poop, hardly any solids and kind of a greenish color...

    New poop symptom seen in mysteriously ill 6 week old. Dry, chalky, light colored poop?

    I have been posting about my cochin chick who, despite vitamin b12 and vitamin e treatment, appears to be going downhill. I have noticed today that his poop is now very dry, kind of chalky feeling, and a very light greyish-tan color where it should be brown. It is perfectly well formed, you have...

    Dosing vitamin B12 for 6 week old bantam Cochin chick. How much should I give?

    I picked up vitamin B12 pills tonight for my sick bantam cochin chick, and I need to know how much to administer. I will be doing my own research about this again in about two seconds, but I was wondering if anyone here could tell what they have given or have read is appropriate.

    Is Marek's contagious to parrots and other cage birds?

    I have a 5-6 week old chick that is displaying symptoms of either Marek's or a vitamin deficiency. All other chicks have always been inside and are apparently fine, and he has been down for almost 2 weeks now. He is now appearing to go downhill, though I have been giving him vit. E. I brood my...

    Suspected Vit. E deficiency in cochin chick, how soon should I see results of treatment? Hoping it's

    I have a Mottled Cochin chick, approx. 5-6 weeks old that started showing bizarre signs of illness over a week ago. His biggest symptom is flipping over onto his back and being unable to right himself. Just laying there waiting to be rescued. His feet are not curled or anything, but feel like...

    Best brooder bedding for ducks?

    Just wondering what everyone's favorite bedding is when brooding ducks. I have tried most everything, and this year we tried play sand. It isn't as absorbent as wood shavings(which my respiratory system cannot tolerate), but it keeps them warm, clean, and if you make it deep enough it doesn't...

    Could we be so lucky? Rumpless Ameracauna chick from feedstore?

    I chose Bea from a group of feedstore chicks earlier this year because she was the fluffiest Ameracauna chick I have ever seen. She has been fully feathered out for awhile now, and I am starting to wonder if we actually scored a rumpless chicky. She has no hint of tail feathers beyond what you...

    Previously VERY robust Mottled Cochin bantam juvenile now flipping over on his back and weak in the

    Just yesterday, I found the little guy flipped over in the middle of the brooder, laying there on his back with his legs sprawled in the air. He has always been extremely healthy, and is nearly completely feathered out, so this is quite sudden and worrying. I have him quarantined in his own...

    Something useful for the start of snake season...

    Just a quick reference to aid in identifying venomous snakes, and being able to differentiate them from those that can safely be ignored, co-existed with(including children!!), or easily relocated. This is a Copperhead. The most commonly "seen" venomous snake. The bands on some individuals...

    Was given a *special* baby today...*Update*

    Went to the feed store today to get a couple bags of feed on a special sale...came out with those AND an Ameracauna chick with a very bad leg that appears to have been previously broken and fused at the thigh, so that it has full range of motion but juts out to the side and causes her to limp...

    I have the fluffiest chick that ever lived.

    Meet Bea, the Ameracauna. I handpicked her yesterday out of a batch of her breed at the local feed store. I was only in the market for Japanese Bantams, but how could you pass up this face?! I couldn't. xD

    Black Japanese? Black Dutch? Black OEGB?

    We found this sweet little guy as a day -old in the TSC bantam bin, and I had to get him in the chance that he may be a Black Japanese with darker legs(I've seen that before in some I have raised), but there is also a strong possibility that he could be any of the breeds mentioned in the title...

    A real ID challenge...meet Poffin!

    Poffin and his pal, who looks just like him, are from a TSC assortment, and I chose them because I didn't recognize their breed at all! They are both super tiny, smaller even than the other bantams of the same age, and very docile. I just adore them and can't figure out what the heck they are...

    Is this method accurate for sexing very young Sebrights?

    We are going to look at some sebright chicks today, and I remember hearing about a supposed method for sexing babies visually based on the color of their fluff surrounding their comb. I was just hoping someone would remember what that was about so we can experiment. :)

    Odd-toed bantams...what are we? *second mystery chick pic added!*

    We picked up 6 little ones today, and I know I have a Black Japanese, 2 blue d'Uccles, and likely OEGB, but this fellow is a mystery to me. He has 4 toes. We were trying to avoid Cochins, but I guess if he is the one Cochin of the group I am ok with that. lol Anyone recognize this breed...

    Rescue pair of the most nude macaws you will ever see!

    We rescued these two, Toby and Winnie, a few months ago from a lady who lost her house in a fire. These two were lucky to survive. All we know about them is that they are approx. 10 years old each, and have been through 5 homes+ in that time. Toby, the most bald one, is extremely intelligent and...
