it went very well, they gave us lots of information that we didn't know, as well as diagnosing Gerry(the injured one). He has a swollen joint and they were afraid of it turning septic so he is on an antibiotic. His stool was runny as well which she was concerned about so we are filling up a...
I had one of my friends over and they were holding one of my babies, he fell from a good height and is now limping. we have called plenty of vet offices and no one will take us in because they don't know if they can legally. I don't know what to do but I hate seeing him in pain. there is no way...
Thank you so much for all the tips, my mom and I really appreciate it!! I am being very gentle with them and they actually seem to like me! I walked over to them earlier and they all got up and startedpeepeing at me and jumping! (I hope that’s good)
Thank you sooo much!! We are getting a guinea pig cage tonight or sometime very soon. I was planning on building a run and coop and keeping them outside but I live in Michigan, where winter is horrible and I was scared they wouldn’t make it next year!
They aren’t too messy, I took the workkeys test for my school today so afterwards I got to come home early and I got home, and one of them had just hopped out of their bin that they’re in!! I saw him fly right out!! I have a wire panel like over them now because I don’t want those little...
Hello BYC family! I went to 4H yesterday and my leaders assistant surprised me with three baby quail! I have wanted quail for a while now and asked her to hatch me some (she offered first) but I had never heard back from her so I had no clue I was getting them! What should I know about quail...
I have had my chicken for quite a few months now(she was previously owned for a few months and started laying weeks after we got her) and three months ago she started squatting at me and just recently another one of our hens starting squatting too, why are they doing this? How can I get our...
we have two golden laced wyandottes, an australorp, and an ameraucana; egg laying hens. Michigan is lots of snow and ice plus freezing temperatures all the time
We have a small coop with only four egg laying hens that get along well; but they are getting very cold because we are in Michigan and Michigan winters are brutal. What would be the best way to heat their coop so I don't wake up to my girls burnt to the ground or frozen like an icicle?
I forgot to mention that we plan on making the girls free range in the spring, we got the coop and the run without knowing that the girls came with it, kinda bad timing because winter is coming but we still got them because all together it was $50, a steal!
