    Scaly leg mites?

    Feathered legs often have weird scales, but wouldn't hurt to coat them in lard or something

    Failed to thrive

    I have a Cochin chick that has failed to thrive. I fed it fermented feed and acv and rooster booster in it's water along with lots of live bugs (I bug farm). It's now 2 months old and fully feathered, and has grown the tiniest bit - can't tell if she has finally outgrown my bantams (she isn't a...

    Rehoming disabled guinea cock

    I think he might be dying. He didn't eat or drink anything today and has stopped moving... I didn't want to upset him, so I left him be.

    Rehoming disabled guinea cock

    I hope I post this in the right spot. I tried to find a place for rehoming posts, but this was the only place I could find that seemed appropriate. I need to re-home a disabled guinea cock. I live in south to south central Missouri. He can't roost and gets picked on by the other cock. He does...

    Injured guinea cock

    I don't have the facilities to house him separately. During the day, I keep him with my chicks in the bird house, but in the evenings when the guinea come to roost, he has trouble. I had not seen the rehoming thread... I will look for it. Thank you

    Rooster or hen Leghorn

    Which one? The barred bird looks like it might have saddle feathers but it's hard to see. The others look like pullets

    Injured guinea cock

    Is anybody aware of anyone who takes disabled guinea fowl in South or south central Missouri? He was badly injured by something and his leg is mangled. I had hoped it might heal, but it definitely isn't. He gets around when he has to but can't roost. He is getting picked on by the other cock. I...

    Free ranging chickens! Q and A ( my experience)

    I built a shed sized building for a coop for them to roost in. I have been training them to go in at night after supervised ranging. And Demeter wanders the property around the house and coop and compost n such. I'm on 10 acres, but she only goes around the used area.

    Free ranging chickens! Q and A ( my experience)

    Several breeds... Oegb, phoenix, cochins, brown leghorn, Sumatra, Yokohama... I think that's it... I have heard them alarm call and run for cover at every thing from birds to dog to cat... The cochins aren't great fliers, but the go to roost just fine... And Demeter is a Anatolian shepherd...

    Free ranging chickens! Q and A ( my experience)

    What is a good age to start? My chicks are about 2 months old. I have been letting them out, supervised in the evening since they were a month old. They have the routine down. I have plenty of cover and an lgd...

    Breed?

    I think I have figured her out... I believe she isn't a bantam, she got bigger than my oegb and is roughly the size of my silver duckwing phoenix... She looks like she might be a red shouldered Yokohama... She is getting a lot of dark red patches on back and wing bows

    Fruit flies and fermented feed...?

    Thank you. I do have traps out and usually I can keep them out of the feed. I guess I left a little on the rim and few got in and drown. I just fed it all to the birds immediately out of an abundance of caution.
