Hello! I added pigeons to the list of birds I own about a year ago. I fell in love with them, and currently have a few breeds I’ve been working with. It’s been difficult for me to find anyone within my state who has pigeons. I’ve found several in neighboring states, but they are usually several...

Hi all, I’ve seen the chicken poop chart many times, but I need some others opinions before I decide if this poo is normal. I’m afraid it might be worms. This particular dropping came from my turkey hen, but the chickens sometimes have the same droppings. They are all acting normal. Thanks in...

I have two rare breed chicken eggs in my incubator. I started with five but only these two have made it so far. They are shipped eggs, and have about 9 days left until hatch. Because of them being shipped, they have pretty significant saddle shaped air cells, and from what I have read there is...

I've had poultry for roughly 11 years now. I've had a consistent feeding schedule for a long time, which consists of a layer feed mixed with scratch grains. In the winter I feed Purina Flock Raiser because of the extra protein (20%) and also because I have a mixed flock of chickens, ducks...

I just had two baby turkeys hatch in my incubator yesterday. One is fine, but the other one hatched with his legs going behind him. It’s like he can’t put his legs underneath him. I’ve tried the typical things, like bandaid and hair tie ideas, but it hasn’t helped.His legs aren’t actually...

I have a 1 year old turkey who suddenly lost use of her legs. We have 3 turkeys total and she is the only hen. The others seem to be fine and healthy. She just lays there and eats and drinks but won't get up. We saw one day she was stumbling and falling over. It has been a week and no...

Winter is coming and I need to either make or buy some jackets. I have 3 silkies and one naked neck bantam that need it. I want some that will cover the belly too because the naked neck has no feathers on its belly! It just hatched that way I guess. But where I live it gets below freezing so...

I have some young bantams that are in my "grow up pen". Their eyes are closed and puffy. They act normal and happy but annoyed. Not all of them are like this. My silkies eyes are both closed. And a couple have one closed and the other open. But one doesn't have eye problems but has rough...

I saw no thread for polish BANTAMS and I thought I would make one. I know there is people out there who have them so please post!!

I looked around on BYC and couldn't find a thread on polish bantams! So those of you who have some pictures you would like to share please post!

Last night my bantam pooped and there was these long worms in it. They were really long and wiggly. What type of worms is this? She has been acting normal. How do I treat this?

I have a polish bantam and she is acting strange. I'm not sure of her exact age but she is definitely under a year old. She is older than six weeks just cause I can tell. I got her off a guy who was selling all his poultry. She kept following me everywhere so he let me take her for free. I have...

I had a 10 week old sebright bantam chick die a couple days ago. It was a pullet. She was outside in my "Grow up pen" with 6 other bantam chicks. I got her locally at the age of 5 weeks. But when I went to feed them one evening she was laying down so I picked her up. She was still alive but she...

I had 11 chicks in the brooder. 7 of them were ones I hatched from my own eggs, along with 2 silkies and 2 seramas. They are all bantams. I got the new ones from a local person 2 weeks ago. I have gotten chickens and eggs from her before. The silkies were 3 weeks, the ones I hatched were 5...

I keep all my bantams in a confined pen and they are getting sick! I just got over treating coryza a few weeks ago. And all of the sudden they are getting sick again. Some of them have coryza again and others don't. The ones that don't have coryza have watery eyes and sneezing. Also, one of them...

I have a silkie that is about 9 weeks old. She might be a little older. I think its a hen. Its comb is flat and small. Here is some pics. Any guesses? Thanks!

I want to start a breeding pen and I don't know if I should breed call ducks or Muscovy ducks. I have Muscovy but I have never had call ducks. I am leaning more towards the Muscovy ducks though. What is your favorite?

I am wanting to start hatching out duck, geese, and turkey eggs. I am experienced with hatching chicken eggs, but I wanted to try something new. I have a brinsea incubator and would like to stick with their brand. Does brinsea make an incubator for those eggs? Or is there another brand just as...

Is anyone trying to breed the Swedish Flower chickens down to bantam size? I am new to all this breeding stuff with genetics and such!

I am looking for smooth, silkied, or booted Serama hatching eggs. I don't want frizzled because the last batch of serama eggs I hatched were all frizzled. Must be reasonably priced. I would also like to be able to see pics of them so I know what I am buying. Thanks! P.S. I am also in search of...
