    Possible Infectious Laryngotracheitis Case in Rooster / Questions

    Good evening from California. It's been years since I've used this account, and it's unfortunate it's for something as serious as this. Before I go into detail, I want to start out stating that my chickens are my pets and I'm not culling my flock regardless of prognosis. Now that that's been...

    Crowing Hens What

    My precious Aiko woke me up this morning CROWING. Kisses aren't the only unique thing about this girl…. but dem kisses, wowowow ….WHAT. I know some hens crow, but I didn't really expect it, and I hadn't ever actually seen it, but I did today. Her crow was different from the rooster's...

    Gosling - Is this an Embden?

    Alright, here again this time with a goose. I acquired a domestic goose egg from a nasty filthy local lake. This is usually where I get my waterfowl and the city could care less because they send people around to take the eggs and euthanize excess ducks and geese because of disease. Putting that...

    Roo Doesn't Like Certain Humans?

    Have you guys ever had a rooster who literally hated some people and loves others? I have been hearing my rooster has been going after my mom and today I saw him try to attack my grandmother though the fence (he can't get through so she's totally safe) but I was in the run with them and he was...

    Abandoned and Sick Young Cockerel. Please Read<3!

    Today, my mom called me to tell me she found a Chicken wandering around alone across the street. No one around me has chickens, from what I can tell so it was a bit of a shock. So she caught him for me. Well I drove home later and discovered my mom had found the sickest little boy I've seen in...

    Mixed Mallard? Pix!~

    Sexing by wing feather growth muscovy. Girl?? (Updated with adorable ducky pics)

    My darling Muscovy Scooter "hatched" extremely weak around July 13th. (The days blended because I was fairly certain I was going to lose it.) Anyways it pulled through fully about 3 days later and is now a food shoveling poop machine. I heard around that females get their primaries way before...

    URGENT. PLEASE HELP MY DUCKLING.

    I need to learn about tube to crop feeding. I have a very lame but very alive duckling who I would like to save if I can. It's weak and mostly I think it might have a chance IF I can feed it. Problem is, although it nibbles and nibbles (and likes to bite my lip if i let it) i don't think it's...

    So worried...

    Today I had a duck (yes I know this is under chickens...) "sort've" hatch. It pushed out but it began to dry up and it had been in same position for over 12 hours. It had pushed out but it was still connected by its navel in the bottom of the egg. It's navel was big and it was still absorbing...

    Do Muscovy ducks make good pet ducks

    Hey duck peeps! I am fairly "new" to ducks, at least the more domesticated variety. I've had geese and mallard ducks (all of wild variety) so I know the basics and raising and all that but I was curious to know how good of a pet muscovy ducks make. On a random note I found a mystery duck egg...

    Brand new mystery chick. (Not really LOL) WHAT WILL I BE?

    So this little guy/girl is the product of some odd mutt hen (she's orange/buff and white with a little puff on the top of her head; single comb. Mutt right?) And a GOOOOORGEOUS white EE rooster with a big beard. I really want him. But looking at this chick… who appears to be a white bird (or...

    Uwaaa! So nervous! DX

    I have 2 eggs due today and not a sign of hatching from either. I broke the chicken law this morning by candling because when I put em in lockdown I wasn't all sure they were alive. I saw one move and the other I could still see thick veining so it must be alive (absorbing blood I guess). But I...
