Good morning everyone! I haven't been here for a while because I have not had any chickens for almost 2 years. In 2019 my next door neighbor's dogs chewed threw our privacy fence, broke into our chicken coop, and killed most of my chickens while I was out. While we fought with the neighbors over...

Hello all. My neighbor found a baby duckling in the middle of a truck stop today and she picked it up after watching it get almost run over several times. There are no sources of water or uncleared land anywhere near there so we're not sure how it got there. She gave it to me and I have it nice...

Got this bird in a group of chicks about three months ago. The others were fat bodied with feathered legs. This one... I'm not even 100% sure it's a chicken. Any ideas?

This is a five month old RIR/Ameraucana. Was hoping for a nice EE but suspect male.

Hey all, At my job I am in charge of an aviary display that houses about 70 finches, canaries, button quail, and diamond doves. We recently overhauled the whole thing and replaced all the nests and everything. In the process we ended up disturbing a nest that had a single baby in it, and even...

Hi all. I have a pair of purebred solomon island eclectus. My male is named Fred and is about 13 years old. My female is Gipsy Danger and is about 4 years old. I introduced them to each other in the fall and they produced their first eggs in November. They appear to be exhibiting normal...

In March I ordered a batch of BLRW bantams from a large hatchery and EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. turned out to be a cockerel. So now I'm down to one cockerel but still want to keep this variety so I'm looking to try again. Wanted: a small batch (6-12) of BLRW bantam eggs, chicks, or even grown birds...

Just had a terrible experience with seller on ebay. Prepaid for eggs back in February and now will not be getting them. Still looking for grey partridge eggs, aka Hungarian "Hun" Partridge. Please contact me if you have any for sale. Originally planned on receiving 6+ eggs but willing to...

Hello all, I have a black copper maran cross who was hatched in an incubator two weeks ago. She was in a very large dark egg that was round (I had a hard time discerning which end was supposed to be the pointy end) and was an assisted hatch (sticky chick). At first I thought she wouldn't make it...

This is my friend's rooster. She is not sure what he is. I have a chick from him and I am curious about what he could be. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I am starting with my first chickens next month but am already planning ahead for the next couple of years. If everything goes well with the chickens I intend to branch out into some other types of fowl, including partridge. There seems to be several varieties available so, 1. Do...

Hey everyone. Newbie here. I am getting my first chickens (BLRW bantys) in March, but a friend of mine just gave me a large cabinet-style incubator that she doesn't use. I was not planning to hatch out any eggs at all, but I'm itching to try out this incubator. Unfortunately, I live in a...

I just thought I'd share the awesomeness that is my prairie dog, Tex. She is about 3 years old now. I bottle-raised her myself and she is one of the most wonderful pets I have ever owned. Does anyone else have prairie dogs? Feel free to ask questions!

I posted this yesterday but somehow the thread disappeared, not sure what happened. Well crap, now I'm in trouble. Long story short, I have been thinking about getting some chickens for a while. I blabbed this fact to a friend of mine who lives in the country and has had chickens for years...

Well crap, now I'm in trouble. Long story short, I have been thinking about getting some chickens for a while. I blabbed this fact to a friend of mine who lives in the country and has had chickens for years, and apparently she took this as an invitation. Last week she placed an order for some...
