We have been dealing with the same group of saucy young boys at our animals for a few months now. They've been throwing rocks at our chickens and ducks and chasing them. They have also been coming around when we are not around and getting into the coop. Today they crossed the line, we went out...

This is our roughly four month old muscovy. We are hoping for a girl, but I have my doubts. Thank you.

Hello, I have a momma duck who's eggs began hatching today, two ducklings have hatched so far. I'm new to ducks and have never bred them before, so could anyone answer some questions for me? 1. Will the ducks stay with their mother all the time? I ask this because we found both ducklings out of...

I have silkies that are almost five months old now, but they don't appear to be growing well. Here are two photos I took today: I've seen photos of other five month old silkies and they are huge compared to mine. My boyfriend thinks they may be mixed. Does anyone know what is going on?

I have three old english bantams that I got a few months ago, they are all roughly a year to a year and a half. They haven't warmed up to me or my boyfriend yet, they don't like to be touched and usually run away from us. Three days ago one of the bantams began sitting on eggs and didn't get...

My one year old rooster is losing feathers on the front of his neck, it's in a circular sort of shape. It has been happening for a few months now, it's just a weird bald spot on the middle of his neck. Does anyone know what this could be?

Here is Zelda, or "Ducklet" which is what I usually call her. She's only two or three days old here And this is her now, she's approximately 3 weeks old. She's like my baby, she sleeps in a cage in my room. She follows me and my boyfriend everywhere we go. She's also a toe biter, she...

Earlier today I made a post about my silkie who had gotten severly injured, she's drinking and standing now but is still pretty groggy. She has pooped twice since we've had her in the house, the first time it was watery because it was constantly drinking, the second time it was still a bit...

Our white silkie has a large open cut on the back of his head/neck, We believe one of the roosters may have tried to mount him because he has smaller cuts on both his wings and his back. We stitched the cut on his head and he occasionally opens his eyes and he is drinking quite a bit. He...

We recently adopted a group of four to five week old baby bunnies, they seemed fine at first but now they all have blue-ish tinted eyes and spots on their eyes and seem blind. I have pictures of the bun with the worst eyes. Does anyone know what this could be? I was thinking cataracts, but now...

I have four zebra finches, two boys and two girls, but only one female ever lays eggs. The finch will usually lay four eggs and then sit but some of the eggs always end up broken at the bottom of the cage and the ones that dont get broken always have a tiny hole in them.She will sit on the...

My silkies from performance poultry are roughly a month old now and I thought I'd post an update. They are all doing well and there was only one dead chick out of 52, that's not too bad. I did have a question though, do they look like full breed silkies? Some look like silkies but some dont...

We ordered fifty silkies from Performance Poultry and they are all alive and well with the exception of one who has a deformed foot but it's fine, it's still active and eating. We also got two buff silkies no charge! If you live in Canada I highly recommend them. I plan on ordering from them...

My bunny is almost a year old and since yesterday he has been acting strange, not his usual self. He usually jumps up and greets me as I open his cage and just hops around his cage. He doesn't move at all, well a twitch every now and then but he's very limp just lays there. He will not eat and I...

A little while ago we had a hen that was laying soft-shelled eggs and an egg broke inside her and she passed away. We are noticing that once again we are getting soft-shelled eggs and we are very concerned. We have tried oyster shell and we mix it with the feed but it's not really helping. Does...

I have a large white roo who is becoming a real jerk. He bites me very hard, he chases me, he jump at my face. He also attacks other people and I'm not sure how to make him stop. I've tried spraying him with water, yelling and shoving him with my foot but they all seem to make him worse. He...
