She doesn't, I haven't noticed or felt anything abnormal on her at all. They have full rule of my backyard and get plenty of bugs and mealworms... I'm just not sure what it could possibly be.
Hi there,
This is my old English game bantam, Marilyn. She's eight and a half months, and she laid her first eggs back in December. She laid two eggs that first week, and since then I haven't seen a single egg from her. She's always with the other chickens and she's never disappeared, so I...
His eyelashes and teeth look fine and there's no other issues besides the sticky discharge from his eye. I've had him since he was about six weeks old, and yes, hay has always been his bedding from the same place and stored in the same conditions. However, some of the hay I used and just used...
Of all of those possibilities, I would be most willing to put my money on dust from hay. I use hay as his bedding, so it's very possible that's what's causing it; I'll research it. And yes, it's just his right eye, he responds to light, and he's about nine months old.
Hey there,
I noticed a few days ago that my male rabbit had a track of liquid coming from his tear duct, but it looked dry, his eye seemed normal, and he likes to get his feet wet in his water bowl occasionally so I took a few pictures and decided to wait and see if it got better. Today I...
My six month old Welsummer/Production Red mix was laying beautiful dark brown eggs nearly every day up until earlier this week. She's acting completely normal, looks healthy, and it's too young to start molting, so I'm beginning to get worried. We found a mouse in the coop this afternoon, but...
Hey there,
My single male rabbit is an escape artist. We are seriously considering renaming him Houdini. He's escaped twice now and had gotten very very lucky both times. The first time someone took him to our local animal shelter, and yesterday a friends friend's friend found him and I'll be...
Thank you for the information. I've been keeping an eye on her, and her strange behavior has just stopped. She's acting completely normal, like nothing ever happened.
Hey there,
Today I was out feeding and watering my flock of five and heard a very high pitched almost crowing noise. At six months old, I know none of my chickens are roosters so it was very strange. I came around the corner and my Easter Egger, Maybelline, was standing in the door of the coop...
Hi there,
My eight month old rabbit escaped the yard yesterday and luckily a very nice someone picked him up and took him to the animal shelter, so we got him back in no time. But now it's become clear that allowing him free reign of the yard just won't work! I'm heartbroken because i know he...
I'm in the very center of Houston with five chickens and it hasn't been an issue for the last five months... I'm hoping that will stay true. They're all hens and are very quiet and they get to free range through the backyard and return to the cool at night. I measure the other day, and I was...
My little girl is three months old and while she's absolutely gorgeous, the yellow tinge on her neck is throwing me off as far as identifying what breed of Old English bantam she is. Does that yellow immediately classify her as a Red Pyle?
We got our first two eggs today! My head honcho girl, Margaery the Easter Egger, laid no shell eggs on the floor of the coop and outside. My dog tried to eat one of them so the yolk went every where, but I'm so excited! I think it's super cool how they're already blue even though they're not...
One of my pullets has a cherry red single comb, so it's pretty obvious that she's close to ready to start laying. However, I have two other pullets that I'm unsure about. I don't think the lighter colored Easter Egger is ready to lay because her jowls and comb only started to get darker...
As a temporary solution I stacked a munch of miscellaneous items I found lying around in front of the nest boxes so they couldn't get up there. Needless to say they were very unhappy with me, but it's working so far. There's a gap, so the head of the flock figured out how to get up there and she...
