Came from Mcmurray on April 13. Vacinated for mareks. Looking to find him a new owner that won't eat him before he lives his rooster life. He is a smallish breed after all but will be a pretty bird when he finishes growing

I have a broody that has been sitting on 9 fertile eggs that my friend gave me. We dont have a rooster. I have her in a dog cage inside a separated part of the run. The other hens have probably forgotten her and now I have another broody. I like the idea of both of them caring for the chicks but...

Last end of summer I had to buy corid to treat my chicks. The feed store didn't have small bottles so maybe I used less than 5%. In April I am getting new chicks and was wondering if the corid I have Can be used in case I need to treat them too. Also what is the best way to store liquid corid. I...

I have 2 muscovy ducks and a drake that are 1 year old. I was told that their meat becomes tender after the first snow. Something with the cold softening their muscles. I need to get rid of them because they raised no ducklings and kept eating their eggs. It won't snow for a month or so and I...

Feathers are still growing at the base of the tail but they are still in the shaft I can't see if they are pointy or not. This chick feathered slower than the rest and my friend that gave it too me thinks it is a roo. I am not experienced to tell anything..

I got 6 chicks from a friend when they were 2 weeks old. They were bought from a breeder as day old chicks and had shown no problems while at my friend`s house. After a few days at my place 1 of them could not stand. After a lot of reading from the forums here I gave her B vitamin complex and...

I have 2 muscovy ducks and a drake. I wanted both to hatch a clutch. One started sitting on her 8 eggs, The other duck started sitting with her. Now I have both of them sitting on only 8 eggs for a week. Does this mean the second duck will not be inclined to lay for herself? Should I take...

Here they are: Hopefully females but not sure yet. I got them 2 weeks ago when they were 1 month old. I housed them next to the coop where we have 4 chickens. They have been living next to each other for 2 weeks. Yesterday I put their cage inside the chicken run intending to keep them inside...

It is getting weedy outside in the garden and I was looking for good weeds to feed the chickens... I have seen purslane in the garden and I know that is good even for humans but learned that spurge is toxic. There is lots of spurge weed everywhere near purslane. What will happen if my chickens...

Yesterday my chicken`s butt looked weird. She was behaving normal and it was evening so I let her be. Today it seems worse and I separated her for fear of the others noticing the redness. What do you think is happening to her? I havent seen her poop yet but the feathers look wet and sticky. No...

My Feed store is having chicks arriving soon. I am choosing from the breeds I dont already have : Araucana Buff orpington Golden laced wyandote I will decide which ones or how many each depending on their egg laying and other advice. I know that buff orpingtons get broody often but how about...

One of my chickens had suspicious reddish droppings in the morning. They all eat, drink act normal to me but I am worried. I introduced a new chicken last Sunday (6 days ago). I read Amprol is needed but I only can find it online and it will take too long to arrive because of the hollidays...

I got in the habit of collecting my coffee grounds when I was throwing them in the garden to improve the soil texture. Now the soil is covered in snow. My small chicken run is covered mostly from snow/rain. The soil is so solid and frozen that is hard for the chickens to dig and dust bath. It...

Merry christmas and happy holidays everyone, It is snowing here and I need to put something in the chicken run for them to dust bathe. Their run is not big 32``x 100`` for 4 chickens. It is dirt covered with a thick layer of dry leaves being shred by them slowly. I have a charcoal barbecue...

I always liked the Silver Laced Wyandotes and couldnt resist buying the one I saw at a feed store. I was told that she is about 14 months old and her previous owner dropped her there because of her aggressive behavior. The owner of the shop told me that she saw her pecking at her owner and this...
