    Breed?

    Anybody know what breed this guy is? Tried to do a Google search but no luck so far. :( Closest I could find was the Swedish, but not quite the right colour...I found a similar looking hybrid called a Golden 300, could this be one? I only found them via Metzer Farms though, which is in SF, USA...

    Scovy boy or girl?

    I'm in the process of gathering some females to keep my Muscovy drake company and have spotted this one at a shelter. About a third of the vets/nurses I spoke with thought it may be male but two thirds thought female, it was listed as 'unknown gender' though. It's about 3.7kgs, I am hoping it's...

    Chicken fine two hours ago, now can't walk.

    Basically what the title says. :( Our Polish roo was fine as of roughly two - three hours ago but now he can barely grip with his left foot and can't really walk. His wing also dangles out but I think maybe for balance...does anyone have any idea what we should be looking for? We can't find any...

    Breed?

    Hey guys, moving house soon and adopting the current owners chickens. They have two silkies but then also this girl, which they just said "was a big red one" (they didn't know breed either). When they first said that, I thought maybe an ISA brown or just a red-sex link, but we have both of those...

    Dirt clinging to feathers, bald spot on chest?

    Hey guys, I'm worried about my red sex-link. This was only noticed about 20 minutes ago and her feathers definitely weren't in this condition two days ago. As you can see, she has a considerable amount of dirt stuck to her feathers and doesn't look that great. She has just...

    What happened to my mealworms?!

    Hey guys, I've been raising my own mealworms for maybe six months or more now and I've had no problems at all until now. When I checked on the container they're in a couple of days ago, everything was fine, chucked in a couple of carrot pieces as per normal and closed the lid on them again...

    Sickly duck at local produce store...

    Hey guys, I've never visited this part of the site before - I only have six chickens and have never had any other fowl. But. I recently visited the local produce store who take 'pride' in having a mini-farm down the back (not in any condition I would be having on view to the public, but my...

    My chicken groomed me!

    I tried searching to see if this has happened to many people before, but I could only find on tips for HOW to groom a chicken, not to be groomed BY a chicken. At night, before hopping into their hutch, my two nine-week-olds like to jump up on my lap and have a bit of a snuggle, or sit up on my...

    Limping chicken. Mites, a sprain or something else...?

    So, as the title says, I caught one of my girls limping today. We are currently combating a mite (I think) infestation, the coop has been cleaned out, sprayed inside, the ceiling, the walls and all around the perimeter, bedding dusted, chickens have all been dusted as well, of course - but...
