Hello, I was just wondering when to start feeding my baby rescued pigeon defrosted peas. He hatched 12 days ago and is still on Kaytees Exact hand feeding formula. He has been eating great so I didn't know if it was time to introduce peas or not. Also, once I do start him on the peas, does he...

Hello, someone contacted me a few days ago and asked if I would house a baby dove that had been blown out of its nest during a storm. I've had chickens for years and have always been pretty good at nursing sick ones back to health (partially due to BYC) and figured I would take on the challenge...

I wasn't sure which section to post this in but I am doing a research paper on disorders and diseases in chickens. I'm having a hard time finding credible websites to find information on the topics I'm doing my paper on. Just wondering if you all have any good resources you could share. The...

I live in Stanly County, North Carolina and have lots of beautiful roosters that I have to get rid of. They are free to anybody that would like one. We are willing to drive up to an hour to meet you. The one on top is what they look like now. The ones on the bottom are the same breed...

When I first got these guys,I was told they were Golden Phoenixes. Now I am having second thoughts because they look more like Red ones to me. Are they even purebred? I was hoping to show them at the fair next month so I would like to know the exact breed. What do you guys think? The...

Hello! My neighbor's pet rooster, Brewster, is having a hard time breathing. They were on vacation for ten days and when they got back, he was wheezing really bad. I took a video to show you all, but I accidentally deleted it. Brewster is eating, drinking, and moving around just fine. He...

One of my poor guineas somehow hurt his foot. He is constantly walking like shown in the pictures. I have tried to wrap the foot several different ways and I also even tried to splint the leg with a stick but unfortunately I have had no luck. When I wrap the leg, he usually just drags the...

It looks like she has had these for a while but I just now noticed them. Do you all think these are leg mites? The scales on her legs are about completely off and one of her feet are starting to bleed. When she walks, she flaps her wings like it hurts her. For the past couple...

I first put this in the "flock management" section, but I think this spot will work better(: After watching some videos of how the hens in factory/battery farms are treated, I was completely heart broken. There is absolutely no reason any living thing should be treated like that. I was in...

Wasn't really sure where to put this but I hope this spot works(: After watching some videos of how the hens in factory/battery farms are treated, I was completely heart broken. There is absolutely no reason any living thing should be treated like that. I was in tears after reading some of...

I have a 3 month old roo who got attacked by a raccoon sunday morning (8/28). That same raccoon killed 3 other chickens, left one in bad shock and ripped the comb off another. Grrrrr. Anyway..the roo that got attacked has no balance whatsoever, and can barely lift his neck. He is inside...

Just wondering....has anyone gotten into pottermore yet? I registered on the third day of the magical quill challenge and I haven't gotten in yet. IM GOING CRAZY HERE!

The title pretty much says it all... My chicken, martha keeps one eye closed at all times. The other eye is perfectly fine. When I open the eye myself her pupil is kind of blurry so does this mean she is blind in that eye? I just didn't want it to get infected or something since it stays...

I have a light brahma hen that I adore. She is the sweetest chicken I have ever seen. Very calm and laid back. Just wondering if all light brahmas were this way or am I just lucky? (:

Yesterday(sunday) I witnessed a fox grab one of my leghorns by the neck and run off with it. I chased it with a gun in the woods hoping to shoot it (because we have had quite a few chickens killed from that same fox) ..it must have been a pretty heavy load because it dropped her and ran off. I...

Our male goat had his horns debudded when he was a kid but they still grew. At first I didn't think it would be a problem but they have gotten bigger and bigger and now they have curled around and are going into his eyes! I was wondering if I could clip his horns myself or would it be better...

Monday night, I went to close the chicken coops and saw a hen laying in front of it. I scooted her towards the door and she stood up, took a step or two and sat back down. I separated her and gave her food, water and oyster shell and she didn't eat or drink any of it. She did have very runny...

About a month ago, I got 26 guinea chicks in the mail. I went out to check on them, and one got its leg caught in the handle of the waterer. How? I have no idea.. It has been walking on its "legs" and falling over ever since this happened, about a week and a half ago. The leg is very swollen. I...

Yesterday, I noticed one of my hens start randomly walking backwards across the yard. She does it pretty fast like something is in front of her chasing her. She only goes a few steps and then turns back around and starts walking normal. I searched this problem in the search box and everything...
