Not sure if this is the right place for this or not but it seemed like the best place. I have a somewhat urgent situation with my 1 year old male Great Pyrenees, Newt. He's an excellent guardian and has kept everything away from our birds in the time he's been on the job. He seems to be a...

What are some safe plants I can put along the sunny side of the chicken run that will vine or climb up to provide them a little shade in the hotter months? Flowering or non-flowering doesn't really matter but if it attracts some bugs for them to snack on, I'm sure they wouldn't mind one bit.

I'm looking for a Snowy Mallard drake for my little hen. He doesn't need to be show quality or super fancy. Would be willing to buy a pair or trio. Within an hour or two from Tulsa, OK.

My Snowy Mallard girl has started setting. She resides in the coop with my chickens and her nest bucket is on the floor next to the ones for the chickens, which are slightly elevated. Their nests stay relatively clean with normal dust and feathers but hers seems to collect junk. Everything from...

This is a weirder situation than the other rejected chick posts I read before posting this. Broody #1 hatched on the coldest night of the winter so far and 1 chick survived out of 2 eggs. Two days later, Broody #2 hatched 4 chicks on a less cold night, 3 survived. So I had 4 chicks with two...

Hatched April 2014. He is proven fertile and all his chicks have been healthy and friendly. He isn't the super friendly guy that will come hang out with you but he will eat from your hand and can be easily handled if needed. I'd like to sell him so I could get another SLW with a little better...

I have an 8 week old Australorp Cochin cross pullet with quite the issue. One day, she was up and running like a normal chick and the next day, she was laying around and limping and the left leg would just "give out" under her sometimes and it would kick off to the side or behind her. No obvious...

I've seen several conversations on here where someone will mention giving their ducks small fish to snack on. I think my two little ducks would be thrilled to try them. When can they start having these? Are they just little pet store fish? Are there any they shouldn't have? When I had Chinese...

I got these kids 3 weeks ago at the feed store. No idea how old they were or breeds. This feed store labels chicken breeds but not ducks or turkeys. I was hoping someone could give me an idea what breeds they might be. There is a remarkable size difference and the smaller one seems to be...

Our second hatch of the year concluded this past Saturday with 20 healthy chicks. First hatch was pretty successful as well. Except for the Bantam eggs. In the first batch, none of the Bantam eggs developed at all. This time around, there were three (If I remember right) that were quitters and...

Picked up these ducklings yesterday from the feed store and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on breeds. Bigger one on left has darker feet and more dark on the bill. He/she is also very vocal! Someone on Instagram suggested blue Swedish for the bigger one, maybe? It really doesn't matter...

Haven't been on in a while and seeing all the beautiful birds yall are posting, I thought I'd share a pic or two, including Dr. Penguin who you lovely folks helped me identify as a Silver Laced Wyandotte :) Dr. Penguin and some of the ladies Reba, George, Patsy and Loretta In back is...

I searched to see if anyone else had posted about this but didn't find anything. My Gretchen, previously thought to be a Jersey giant but now I don't know what she is other than a chicken, has laid 2 deformed looking eggs. Top picture was last week, bottom picture is today. She usually lays...

I know it's normal for a heavy breed to have huge poops but is it normal for it to be watery and super messy? My heavy hen is 7 months old and she's always had huge poops but since she started laying, it's become watery. It's the usual color, just watery. Other than being a weirdo and dipping...

Hello fellow chicken fans! I've browsed this site numerous times over the months and finally joined this morning. My name is Keisha and I live on 20 acres in NE Oklahoma. My kids are the 4th generation of our family to live on this land and 3rd generation to grow up here. My kids are 17, 15...
