Breeding season is over here in Oregon, or it should be. Evie, Moms female emu, laid her last egg for this year on May 1st and Mom took it and put it in the incubator. Several days ago Mom noticed that Evie was not coming up to eat or hanging out with Eli or the Llamas, like she usually does, so...

Hoping to find someone raising Emu's in the Oregon area now, or for the next breeding season so we can get a couple hatching eggs or maybe purchase a pair for breeding, would consider chicks too. We have a breeding pair but our male has a leg injury the vet says can not be repaired and he has...

10 Crossbred Cockerels 2 to 6 months old (too many hens snuck off and hid out with clutches of eggs this year, just found another hen on a nest under the tractor a few days ago so we will have more soon. Argh!) We do not eat our animals and prefer not to know what your plans are for these guys...

Mom has 4 Pearl Gray colored, Helmeted Guinea Fowl, that she bought three years ago from the feed store. Three turned out to be females and one is a male. He has a favorite female he breeds often that is for sure, but none of the eggs are fertile. We assume it is the male that is infertile, it...

We have a single pair of emus, this is the first year we are getting eggs, though our current female has laid before and our male has hatched eggs in previous years, though not last year as our female became egg bound and passed. These two have been together for a good 8+ month. For a time our...

Twice over the last month we have found a group of stray cockerels have made their way onto the farm. We were able to re-home the first group but have discovered four more this week. All appear identical, beautiful, shiny, healthy cockerels but we already have enough roosters. If we could...

I admit I am new to Silkies and haven't been as attentive with them as I could be this winter but I did notice one of the girls looking lethargic yesterday and picked her up to find she was light as a feather. Her crop is full but she is nothing but bone. They were all wormed 2 months ago but we...

We have approximately a dozen extra cockerels less them 6 months old. We have several that were dumped outside our gate, the others we hatched this past summer and they are just starting to crow. Bantam, Medium, Full/Standard Sized Many Large barred in light and dark Multiple red/orange heads...

I rarely eat eggs, odd I know, but I made a fluffy omelet last night and over half of the eggs had these big brown or yellow spots in the. The eggs were both chicken and duck. We are getting less then 6 chicken eggs a day out of approximately 130-145 hens of laying age. Our chickens are mostly...

Mom found a juvenile Polish in the flock today just sitting and let her pick it right up, she brought it to me thinking it had a broken breast bone. After I warmed it up, and checked him out the lump turned out to be his very thin neck, not the breast bone. He appears to be starving? There was...

Mom manages a friends farm in Siletz Oregon and when their tenants moved out recently they left behind 4 roosters, 5 ducks and at least 2 rabbits, all running loose on the property! Grrr. Called the Lincoln County (Oregon) Animal Control and reported the abandonment, waiting for them to come...

We ordered an ivermectin product to put on the chickens to rid us of the fight with lice & mice so last night we started with half the flock, putting a drop under each wing and behind their heads. When we came to one hen who smells absolutely rotten. I flipped her over and her bottom is bald and...

Emily would like a mate, she is 3 years old and ready for a mate!!

Our Cochin rooster has been slow and lethargic for at least 2 weeks now. He just sits around with his eyes closed all of the time. He is barely eating or drinking anything and I am surprised he is still alive on what little he appears to have eaten. He is thin and weighs nothing but his feathers...

Hatched a couple dozen chicks a week ago, a couple different varieties, but I am having problems with these particular Polish. Their little eyes keep gluing shut. None of these chicks have really fluffed out, they all still look like they are sticky/wet and should be in the incubator. I wiped...

I bought some runner duck eggs mail order, imagine my surprise when this chick hatched out!! What breed do you suppose it is? I was looking at pictures and noticed he/she has nulti-colored toes.

This gorgeous rooster, along with a couple others, just appeared in our chicken yard a couple months ago. We re-homed the others but he is so beautiful we decided to keep him but are interested to know what he might be? We had a Barred Rock rooster, Steve, a few years ago and this guy doesn't...

Wasn't sure what category to post this under, the chick is healthy and happy. The chick is 3 or 4 weeks old at least, would have to go back and look through my records. Being raised by the Bantam Cochin hen that hatched it, though we don't know who laid the egg. Clearly, for us anyway, it is a...

He is about 10 months old, raised him from a chick. He has always been kind of ugly, shabby looking and very light on feathers. Because he always appears shabby we thought maybe he was a super frizzled? I recently noticed his skin is very red over most of his body. I put him in quarantine and...
