I have 2 one-year-old female Pilgrim geese available. I am in upstate (northwest) South Carolina. Message me if interested!

What do you do to help a partially drowned, soaked to the bone adult duck? My son didn't dump out the soapy dog bath water this afternoon. I have three ducks suffering, and one of them can't walk and water keeps coming out of it's nose.

When I went to get eggs from my egg lady last week (my chickens aren't laying yet, give me time! I'm new.) they had a whole passel of 10 week old kittens hanging around. We had been discussing getting another outdoor cat and my daughter's rabbit had died earlier that day so....long story short...

Does anyone have a combo barn, or one building for several different animals? I'm wondering if I am dreaming of the impossible when I imagine building a barn to house about 30 chickens, 6 ducks, 6 geese, 4 turkeys, some quail, two nigerian dwarf goats, and my meat rabbits without being over 300...

A coop builder I'm talking to right now just suggested that a 4x12 coop with a 48 sq ft covered run in addition to it would be enough space for 30 chickens. That sounds a bit small to me, but then I am going to have a fenced in uncovered area for them to range around in during the day. What do...

Well, much to my absolute shock, it looks like I will have $900 to build a coop and run for chickens in my yard within the next month or so. I built a coop two months ago, a ramshackle affair that even though it was ugly, I was sure was sturdy. It wasn't. It only takes one small flaw, and 14 of...

I had 18 chicks in a brooder together. I am down to 14 now. Over the last two weeks, I have woken up in the morning to find one flat and stretched out on the floor, dead. Each one seemed perfectly fine the night before. The fourth one was this morning, and she was still alive, but barely. I gave...

They are outside in a large 42"dog crate without the tray in the bottom so they can eat grass and bugs. They have water, food, and plenty of grass. Half of the crate has a tarp over it so that there is some shade. They have two roosts. There are 5 guineas in with 3 seven week old chickens. It is...

I thought he'd just die but he doesn't seem very interested in that. What do I do?

I thought for sure this whole batch of eggs were goners because my two year old messed with the thermostat and at one point it got up to 113 and another dropped to 65. I moved them away from her reach and kept incubating...after all they had less than a week left I may as well give them a...

I may have bitten off more than I can chew. I have, right now, a 9 guineas and 8 chicks in a brooder on my back porch. The guineas are 3 weeks old. The chicks are 4-5 weeks old. I have arriving in 3 days another 10 pullets (edited to add: these are from Ideal Poultry, which I just realized...

Yesterday I went to a local farm (the lady I get my eating eggs from, actually) and bought eight 3-4 week old ameraucana chicks. They all looked healthy and bright eyed. I brought them home and let them run around in a small "play yard" outside and let them meet my nine 2 week old keets, who are...

good or bad idea? I have 9 guineas I hatched from eggs, they are one week old tomorrow. Wednesday I am getting Ameracuana chicks, about 3 weeks old. Can I put them in the brooder with the keets? The brooder is plenty big enough; I just don't want to have fights, etc.

Hi all! Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. I am a first timer at everything here. This past Tuesday I got 24 guinea eggs and placed them into my still air incubator. It had been set up the day before and the thermometer showed that it was maintaining a temperature between 96 degrees...
