This thread is mainly for me, like an online journal I can add pictures to easily, but anyone can follow along, or keep/share updates on their flock, too (and yes, it can be any poultry...or any pet, if you wanted). I want to share what's happening to or with my flock, coop changes, growing up...

I'm asking because yesterday my instructor said they shouldn't have any; that it's bad for them. Is that true, does anyone know? And how bad for them might it be, and why? I'm brooding my lone turkey with my chicks. They all seem perfectly healthy, though the turk is a bit mean to the chick(s) I...

I picked up a few chicks brought to the feed store from Heartland Hatchery yesterday, and am wondering what color this silkie chick is. The guy said it's a partridge color, but I've been looking up silkie chick colors, and it doesn't look like any in any picture I've seen. So do you guys know...

I've been waiting MONTHS for this day...she's right under a year old, so I was really doubting she'd ever lay an egg, since she's also bullied sometimes pretty bad, and lives with an ol' broken leg since chickhood. Hope is named that because she's an Easter Egger, and Easter is the time Jesus...

I should've made this thread months ago. But here it finally is now. I've searched online several times, and I just can't find much helpful info on this subject. Who here knows about a slipped Achille's tendon in a chicken? I'm pretty sure that's what my EE hen has. I will attach pictures below...

This thread is for more ways of being a good steward of God's beautiful green earth! This is what my family/I do or want to do, and then I want to hear of more ideas from you guys/know ways you guys are "stewarding" the earth, and save a little money by doing it. :D ((I like threads like these...

This Sunday my parents and I picked up two beautiful, sweet Silkie Bantams from Craigslist: A (dark) blue one and a white one. They were both supposed to be hens and supposedly already laying. I'm guessing them to be around 5 to 8-months old. :idunno The white one I'm certain is a pullet, but...

I really feel like she is...the brown coloring seems permanent, as I gave her a bath one day and it didn't wipe off at all. But I wanted other people's opinions to confirm it. I got her from my aunt, who got her from some kind of farm store, I believe. I don't think she's laying yet, but I would...

I was super excited to see this in the doghouse! (She knew where to lay instinctively). It's so tiny. My mom keeps calling it cute, lol! :D I'm not sure who laid it, as they laid it while we were gone, but I'm wondering if it was possibly my Production Red, but it could've been my Barred Rock...

I have four roughly 19 or 18-and-a-half-week old pullets (BR, SLW, EE, and possible Amberlink), and two nearing 18-weeks old, I believe (a BSL and Production Red). Three of my birds aren't squatting, and three are (and the Production Red has been for quite some time now). Two of my birds--the EE...

A video I believe I took Wednesday: If you guys have any pictures to share of anything (that complies with BYC's rules), feel free to! I would love to see them. :)

Okay, so, I am super confused about this. You know how, at Orscheln's, they have the different cages of different chick breeds? And have any of you guys seen the cage with the "Frying Pan" label? It doesn't make sense to me (they have their Cornish cross cage, and then usually two cages of...

So, last night I got hungry for chicken... And then there were these cute little faces looking up at me. . :love How could I resist.... ..... .... To not eat them? :oops: :idunno :p The results: Five delicious drumsticks, and one confused chicken left...:plbb And then that moment you...

Hello, everybody! I've finally gotten around to taking some pictures and making this thread. :) First off, my four big chicks are six-weeks old either today or tomorrow, and my two smaller ones (the red one--Emma--and black-and-brown--Superchick) are over four-weeks. The Barred Rock (Isabelle)...

This is kind of a thread for my darling ferret, Grace, but anyone else with ferrets are free to share anything (appropriate, of course!) about their own ferrets, too! (Ferret lovers, don't feel shy to jump right in!, but this thread is open and welcome to everybody)! :D A little bit about...

So, yesterday afternoon, I thought my little mouse, Daniela, was dying. She's well over a year-old...possibly 'round one-and-a-half? Anyways, mice may be fragile, but they're also pretty hardy little things. And Daniela (aka Dani) has been through her 'fairshare' of tough stuff/sometimes ugly...

So I finally got two chicks yesterday, and the other four from my aunt (which are nearing two-weeks) today. :celebrate My favorites are my first two...the tiny younger ones. :) ^ Here is Superchick, the Black Sex Link. She's pretty calm, sweet, and the very smallest of the bunch. ^ Here is my...

So, there's no guarantee I'll be able to get an inside bird, but if I could, I'm wondering: Would one male zebra finch be fine by himself? Or is it really a 'need'/strongly preferred to have more than one finch together, since they're so social with each other? Have any of you finch-owners ever...

Hello, readers! Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section.. Okay, I wanted to create a thread giving advice to people who are planning on getting some chickens, but don't know what breeds are best for them. Well, take some things into consideration... What do you want in your chickens? Do...

Hey, guys! I thought of making something like this earlier, 'cause I guess it seems like fun...? Lol. Okay, so, as the title says, share two immature things about you. :lol: I'll start: Well, my sister(s) say I'm totally immature anyways...which I guess I am 'guilty' as charged of that. :p...
