So a little while ago one of my hens had a wing that was drooping and she did NOT like you messing with it, i diagnosed it as a sprained wing. I pulled her from the coop and wrapped her wing. In the next couple of days she started twisting her neck around and tilting her head and she wouldn't...

SOOO hears the story, I have a little bantam frizzle I rescued from a bad situation. He is having some respiratory issues (among all the others) so I pulled out my handy-dandy oxytetracycline and mixed it up like I do for my girls and gave it to him. Flash forward 3 hours and the thought strikes...

So in the lovely state of Arizona, the summers are brutal (I'm talking over 110 on a regular basis). Because of this heat, chickens don't always do to well and one recently went down with heat stroke. While we were attempting to get her better, we noticed she had worms. I don't usually worm my...

I have a Porcelain D'Uccle rooster for sale. He was bought in a batch of show birds to be shown at Maricopa County Fair but did not get taken to the fair due to some complications. He is in need of a home that will either show him or just let him be a free range rooster. He recently got into a...

I have a Dutch Bantam hen who is about 4 1/2 months old. Recently she was limping and is holding her leg up and wont put any pressure on it. I checked it out and the leg she babies is significantly thinner than the other one. She lays rolled to the side with that leg kicked out. I'm worried...

So I raise pig to show and they are some of the greatest animals I have ever worked with (besides chickens). They are SO full of personality and spunk, no two are alike! If any of y'all are doing swine I'd love to hear what you have or any funny stories you might have! (pigs have the knack for...

So my friend has a coop and he has about a dozen pullets in there, recently one became the victim of the "alpha" chicken. It was a mess, so he called me knowing that I take care of chickens like they are a precious resource. Here is some pictures before we fixed up the chicken (dubbed Shark...

I have a 6 year old Easter Egger hen who has recently lost a lot of weight, doesn't lay eggs (about 1 every other week, but they break because they are so thin) I know older hens usually show a drop in egg production, but this seems a little off. She feels a lot lighter and doesn't like to be...

I have a beautiful Black Copper Marans rooster in need of a home. He is about a year old and his brother, which is owned by my friend has won Reserve Champion Continental Breed at Maricopa County fair. He is very protective of his girls and is very proud. I can't have roosters where I live and...

I have 2 ducklings that are a cross between a Mallard drake and a Cayuga/Blue Swedish hen. They are about 8 weeks old, their genders haven't yet been determined. They MUST go together. I'm asking $12 for the pair. I can no longer keep them and am looking for a good home! (three have already been...

I have a Mallard drake that is 1 year 3 months old. I can no longer keep him and am looking for a good home. His name is Petri and he is the sweetest thing. He loves to be held and will follow you around. He is a good breeder, I am actually selling some off his offspring too. He has his Eclipse...

So I'm new to the whole rooster thing... I got a Black Copper Maran (very hard to find where I live) and raised it. My friend had its brother and sister form the same batch, she had to get ride of mine, which I named Falcon, because the other two chicks were picking on it because it was smaller...

I'd love to see different coop ideas! I'm thinking of building another one. My first one is getting to small for all my babies! This is my original coop: Don't mind the mess! We are cleaning this week!!

My flock has been battling mites for about a month now. DE will lower the numbers of them but the next week, they are all back. I am worried about my oldest hen, 5 year old Easter Egger. Her bum fluff is matted with poop, but it started before we got infested with mites. we have washed her...

A majority of my flock are Easter Eggers and so far I have had great luck with them ( that Arizona heat is brutal) I even have my first EE ( lets simplify it) still, 5 years and going strong. They have the most personality out of all of my other hens and are stubborn as they come. I'd love it...
