I had two silver crested polish roosters. One died about a week ago. I don't know the ages of them. The first one to die was found just laying dead in the pen, stiff as a board. He had problems a few months back, he could not walk, his toes were curled in. After no treatment, he was fine after...
So I noticed yesterday that my rooster would not stand up. When I looked at his feet, his toes looked like they were turned the wrong way, I thought maybe he had just hurt his foot or something, so I decided to wait until morning and check on him again. Today he is still the same. He cannot...
I just bought 3 chicks and two guineas together, the guineas pecked the beak off of my dominique chick. I have no clue how to treat it. This is a picture, the vet is closed with it being sunday, i have no clue how to treat this. she has drank some water.
I don't feel like it would be someone stealing them, but I won't rule it out. I live way out in the country, so they couldn't just drive up without someone knowing. Very few people live out there, and we have no direct neighbors, but the people down the road know us and our cars, and would know...
Here is a picture of pretty much what the coop looks like, this isn't the exact coop, but the metal cage is the same, like the size of the wire. In this picture you can see boards and roofing against the sides, that is because this one had holes, the one they were in did not have holes.
Hi! So I have just had some of my chickens, one a Polish, two bantams. They were in a cage that was supposed to be proofed for things getting in. Something got them in the daytime, because at night they are completely sealed up. During the day we let them out and they are still inside the cage...
this is a picture of me on halloween with my roo!(: he stayed up there the whole time, no poop on me. He was very good. Unfortunately yesterday he went missing, and I'm really worried about him):
So glad you found yours! I have a polish mixed with bantam roo, and he went missinf this afternoon. I spent 3 hours searching for him. I live out in the country, woods surround my house, we have a big pasture, and some fenced in goats and two dogs. My dad lives below me and has 3 dogs, not...
I made my chickens a place for them to take dirt baths, using sand and peat moss, but they never even touched it. Any ideas on what else I could do? We don't have much dirt for them to play in either, mainly grass.
So, I'm in what's called the International Thespian Society, and every year on Halloween, we go trick or treating in our town to collect canned goods. We call it Trick or Treat So Kid's Can Eat.(: We are required to dress up, and since two of my chickens are such babies with me and will ride on...
alrighty, thank you, the legs are yellow on this one, but now that you say that about the legs, i think on the other chicken it had a whitish color legs. no other colors but a creamy white and black on the feathers on either one though.
I really want one of these, but i don't know the breed so i don't know what to look for. i've seen another one with more of the cream color and less of the black specks, the black was more on the tips of the feathers. very pretty, i just want to know the breed so i can have one(:
This is Sir Waddlesalot. This was taken last week.
Thank you so much for the information, I have been completely clueless on this and this has helped so much!(: I will be getting some better food immediately(: We are getting a kiddie pool deep enough for Waddles, right now she/he enjoys swimming...
So I have a 5 week old duck, it hatched out of some eggs we got from a neighbor, they were supposed to all be chicken eggs, but we had a small duck egg.
Question 1: We have dogs in a fence, and dogs down the road from us, and I know ducks will fly. We want to clip the flight feathers to keep it...
