Good evening everyone! It has been years since I’ve been able to log back in and touch base with this wonderful community!! I decided to branch out and get ducklings today and I would like just some tips or suggestions of what y’all normally do to care for them other the basics such as food...

My chicken got attacked by what probably was a fox the other day, I’ve been curious. Chickens cannot get rabies correct?? Also perhaps I may be overthinking, but can it transfer from the wound to a person? Even though it may not be a direct bite so to speak? Let me know y’all’s thoughts 🙂

Hey there! I hatched a few BO babies this summer and found out that 3 out of 4 turned out to be lil roos. I am looking for new homes for them as soon as possible, they are relatively tame but they are getting so big so fast! But unfortunately I cannot keep them for long either way, I'm just...

Hey there guys, Haven't been here with problems from my flock for a while which I guess its a good thing. But now I need your advice. So Ive been letting my hen sit on eggs and over the last few days they've been starting to hatch. two hatched just fine but today the third hatched, hardly...

Hey there y'all! I'm just needing advice on a particular matter.... Today I looked outside to see my big boy Alexander standing in the corner of the outside run uninterested in anything that was going on around him. So I decided to go out and check on him, plus feed the hungry crowd. The...

Everybody is getting names like 'crossing the road', etc. But why am I still Chicken Addict?

His name is Wesley and he has been part of my family since February. I snapped some pics today.... enjoy! As you could see he loves the roof of his dog house, kinda like Snoopy in the comic strips. Look at his sweet face!!!! <3 (Oh not to mention those big brown eyes glistening with...

I think my beagle has Mange. I cannot afford a vet bill at the moment so I thought I could treat it at home. Could I use Garden & Poultry dust to cure this? Is it safe?

Just curious, is there an Official BackyardChickens board on Pinterest?

i poked myself with a rusty nail a couple of days ago, and I decided to go in and get a tetanus shot since mine was slightly overdue. Can I still get tetanus since I got it before the shot? Or no.

Do you have a favorite book or a great book suggestion? Please feel free to discuss it on this thread. As I always say, there is nothing like being curled up on the couch on a rainy day sipping a hot cup of coffee and reading a book. What is your favorite book genre? I love fantasy, action...

Has anyone created a homemade chicken saddle before? If so I would love to get the pattern and make it for one of my hens whose back is raw and sore from mating. I was thinking about just ordering one from amazon but they are pretty expensive and it would take so long for something like that...

Is there a way to share the backyardchicken.com site on pinterest?

One of my roosters is sick! He is drooling and very lathargic, will not drink water even if I use a syringe it just comes back up. What is wrong with him? I'm considering doing the worst if he doesn't improve.... I would really hate to cull him. :( ~Meg

I noticed a rooster acting lathargic so I took him in the garage. I patted his head and gave him some water, then I noticed it. He was completly covered in black little crawly things, crawling everywhere, on his legs, in his tailfeathers and even some were making their way up my arms. ew ew ew...

My title says it all! Some things my dog Diamond hates: #1. Latex Gloves. She really spooks out if I wave the thing in front of her face, I think the smell of them reminds her of needles and creepy humans. idk 2. Thunder. Diamond will definitely let me know if there is a storm brewing because...

So I believe he has frostbite, am I correct? He is also acting quite sluggish. If so how could I effectively treat it? Thanks, Meg

So last night I was quietly chatting with my family around the table and my dog was on her side snoring her brains out, (lol she always does that <3 ), anyway she gets up and stretches and walks over and out of nowhere she started to yelp in pain, I tried to figure out why she was yelping. I...
