3 year old barbu d'anvers hen, not currently laying. This hen has gone through this before. It comes and goes. It was an issue for he yesterday and I removed her from the flock, because they were disturbed by her behavior and brutalizing her. These videos are footage of what I would call mild...

I don't see a plants thread, for the plant enthusiast tinkering with our non-consumable photosynthesizing friends. From bearded iris to monsteras, show off your plants! I'll start! My new orchids have just arrived! I wasn't sure how big they would be, or how large the mountings they would be...

Jasper is sick. Something is sickening my whole flock and I still don't know what it is. Necropsy on a chick born sick came back with nothing cultured, negative for MG. 5 birds were swabbed Friday by doctor Porter in pathology from u of m and I have no results yet I have been giving her half...

Thank you in advance for advice. My bird has been to a veterinarian yesterday morning when I first noticed her eye. She has received a breast muscle injection of docyxycline, and out of my own supply I have been giving her oral metacam .04ml dose for pain and swelling reduction. She is eating...

One year old barbu de watermael hen. She's been like this for hours. It's late at night and she is still in the box. Not presenting any broody behaviors. She's is lethargic and limp when I pick her up. I can't feel anything close to her vent. I put her on the roost pole and this is the...

This could be from one of my d'anvers, but most likely came from one of my barbu de watermael hens. I wonder if anyone's got a smaller one??

What's up y'all, I had my husband take some thermal images with his camera during this year's "once in a life time" winter event, and thought some might like to see! Here's the thing: Exterior coop measurements Coop floor Opposite end of coop. This is a red brooder lamp Top left to...

Is it not unusual for birds under a year old to be molting their adult coats like this? They're shedding breast and lower back feathers like crazy, but they only just finished these feathers a few months ago. And now they've all quit laying. What gives? I've heard I'm not the only one...

Hi everyone, This is my coop and run. I'm looking at building something that would give my girls utility of the unused vertical space in the run pictured for the rest of late fall until next spring. I'm a bad engineer so I was hoping for some input on improving the space I have for my girls...

Hi everyone, I have myself an Aristocrat zucchini that's become infested with squash vine borers. I have done my best to perform surgery, and at this point it becomes a waiting game to see if the plant will survive. But, I have a few questions, if someone might be able to answer. Is this it...

Title. I'm not sure what to do or if there is anything I can do. A few months ago I noticed Fable had white spots on her comb, but I didn't think anything of it, I figured it was probably stuck on yogurt or cheese or something because I tend to feed my birds anything from coleslaw to tater tots...

Okay, so I live in Minnesota so the weather here is still delightful and pleasurable to be in the sunshine. However, the last five years have been pretty brutal, temperature wise. Cold, and hot. My chicken fancier friends in southern states have chickens that are just straight up dying of heart...

Lap Chicken Havers, show me your special cuddlers! I think the lap chicken is the ultimate prize of chicken tending. Here are my lap chickens!

Hey what's up y'all, My year old barbu d'anvers hen Aura decided today that she identifies as a rooster and would like the neighborhood to know. Why is this happening, and will it continue?

I don't think one exists. I would like to begin one. I am proud new mama to eight little fuzzy peeping watermael nuggets, hatched from shipped eggs. I'll check in every couple months as they feather in with new photos. They are 3 days old now in these pictures. Please share your watermael...

Looking for some advice. I think that I might be in a situation where I will need to put down a newborn, and I want to be educated before I make that choice. I have a chick that's a couple days old that's been holding its head cocked to the side habitually. It's not severe enough to really...

Do I need to be concerned about this? I have a barbu de watermael chick who's keeping its head lilted slightly to one side like a puppy hearing a funny sound.

What's up y'all, these eggs have been cooking 20 days and they've all been wiggling about for a full 24 hours. I'm hoping to see some external pips here soon. Feel free to join the stream at any time. These Barbu de Watermael could be any sort of color. I'm getting anxious! I have attached the...

Can anyone determine what colors they have based on the pictures available for view on their website? I'm about to hatch some of these that are F2 generation greenfire birds.
