I have a barred rock hen who is 5 years old. I noticed today that she is looking lethargic. She has some tail feathers missing and some scabs on her face and comb. I'm not sure if she's injured anywhere else. What I can I do to help her heal? She's inside now separate from the flock on a heating...
I have a Rhode Island Red hen who is about 4 years. I moved about a year ago and unfortunately i lost 2 female ducks to predators we didn’t know were around. That left my one male duck with my flock of hens. He has shown a lot of interest in my Rhode Island Red hen, Lucy, and started trying to...
My cayuga just hatched some babies 2 days ago. I found one of her ducklings only using one leg. She seems to act like all the other ducklings, just as lively,
but she wont use one of her legs. Is it a birth defect or is it broken? It's very wobbly and can bend in directions I dont think it...
If a duck is a cross and you know what the two breeds it's parent are, can you estimate how many eggs it will be able to lay a year? The parents are a male swedish blue and a female cayuga. Cayuga can lay between 100-150 eggs a year and swedish blues can lay between 100-180. Based off of this...
Can a single dove (like a diamond, cape, or ringneck) live with a single male canary? What about a single pigeon living with a aungle male canary? I know canaries are solitary birds but people keep them in aviaries just fine.
Would the dove or pigeon be sad it didn't have a friend of the same...
Can female black cayugas have some green on their wings? Because i have one that im sure is a female (she is very noisy and her quack sound definitely more female than male) but she has some green areas on her wings. Is this normal, or can males sound like females and talk alot as well?
We feed our betta frozen brine shrimp and I was curious if I could give some to our 3 week old ducklings as well? Maybe even our 7 week old chicks and also our hens?
It's just the usual thing from petco, it comes in a tray with like 30 pouches. It takes our single betta awhile to eat one pouch...
When do ducklings produce the oil to help swim? When can they go in deeper water instead of just wading around in it? Do they need their feathers first?
I just wanted to make sure my two 2 week old ducklings were doing good so far. They are a blue Swedish and black cayuga. They are sort of losing their down? Some parts will be off just floating around? Is that anything to worry? There isn't much. Here are some pics: please ignore the poop:sick
I recently started taking horse lessons(finally!) And I'm learning western. My instructor says I'm doing pretty good with the sitting trot but I still feel a little bumpy. I dont know if that's how it's supposed to be or if I am doing something wrong. Ive watched a couple videos and im doing my...
I love having my chicks just sit and perch on me but I dont think they'll be quite as willing (or small) to do it as they get older. Also they probably wouldn't be able to come inside. So I was thinking about looking into parrots. I already have research under my belt from previous years but I...
Ive read multiple places saying they are good apartment birds and other places saying they're loud. So what's the truth? And I dont mean talking im asking about when they scream and how often they scream.
What breed do you guys think she is
( brown one)? I was thinking maybe a belgian because she's brown and sort of speckled wings? She has feathered feet too and seems like a good flyer (she flew from an object about a foot and a half or more away from me onto my arm once). She's about 2 weeks...
Would full grown ducks (and drakes) and chickens be able to eat this( with oyster shell for more calcium on the side)?https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/dumor-poultry-grower-finisher-15-feed-50-lb
What's your chickens favourite treat(s)? I think my girls favourite is meal worms and plain yogurt. They go crazy for that stuf, especially the meal worms! :)
