He's a little over 4 months old. No white feathers or discolored toes, too early to really tell on mulberrying. If you're interested text me at 928-580-5398 or email at [email protected]

My Easter Egger hen was acting differently yesterday. She jumped on the coop perch and just stayed there for an hour or 45 minutes and then went and squatted in the nesting box like she was about to lay an egg for a bit. I gave her some oyster shell and Pedialyte. Then a warm water bath with...

I'm going to be bringing 3 chicks home for a breeder 3 1/2 hours away. Is there a way to keep them warm in the car? I was thinking a Stanley thermos of boiled water with water bottles I can fill and change out. Heating pads, I was planing to utilize our last 110 days to heat a pad on the roof...

So I been flying on my own for a while but I have I wanted some advice. While checking my hens over I noticed some scabs on the foot. I decided to give it a few weeks checking frequently, but I wouldn't say that got any worse, still it probably wasn't the best in hindsight. I just didn't want...

My Buff Orpington went broody. She's been sitting for about a week or so and puffs her feathers, gets off infrequently and such, she doesn't peck or bite though. It is rather warm, about 90 to 100+, she's in the shade luckily. Should I let her hatch some eggs? Will the heat affect it? And...

Went out to check on the chicken and found my EE had some breathing issues. She was sneezing rather frequently, about every ten or 15 seconds for maybe 3 or 4 minutes. And they were rather hearty if that makes sense. She's finished sneezing and then went to gasping with her neck extended...

My chicken has some bruising on one leg and wondered if I should put her in a sling or just leave it? Any cause for concern? She can walk and such.

Found a baby bird while on a walk. I think it's a starling How does he look? What is his diet, and would seeds and insects be okay? WholE insects and flax seeds, are what I currently have but willing to get anything else. I found a nest near where he fell but looks like the resident was a...

What do?

One of my chickens laid an egg out in the run and I'm guessing it sat out in the Sun for a few hours, is it safe to eat? It's pretty warm here around at least 80 probably 90s in the Sun. I also had an egg crack in the nest and an egg sat in the cracked egg for about 3 hours, is it safe to eat?

I cracked open a few of my pullet's first eggs and noticed the whites had a yellow color a bit lighter than the yolk. Does this mean anything, does it indicate spoilage? It's my first time raising chickens so I've only seen the ones at the store to compare it to. I'm assuming it's a freshness...

I have two red sexlink pullets who are about 17 weeks old (I got them the last week of October 2017) Recently I noticed one had quite a dramatic amount of comb and wattle development compared to the other. So I wanted to ask, is it a roo instead? Just close to lay? I know they are sexlinked...

We had a bit of storm yesterday and a branch fell off our ficus. I thought my chickens might enjoy perching on and jumping around it in the run but under the bark I saw what I think mine be black mold? What do you think, will it hurt them, is it black mold?

I'm at a restaurant giving away free fennel, grabbed some for myself and thinking some gerring the chickens some as well. Can they have it without ill effects, I've heard it's a relative of onion and garlic, so I was kind of worried on that. They're about 12-14 weeks if that factors in...

I'm thinking of adding another Cory cat to my aquarium. The other two are bigger than any at the store so I wanted to ask, despite Corys being a really peaceful fish, will they bully the smaller. And the two I have are albinos, can I add different varieties such as Panda, Julii, and Sterbai...

What do you all think of the breed? Why do you have a one? I've heard they're about the same size as a bantam and pretty good layers, but that was just in passing, I trust your word more.:D

I have a flock of six, 2 Buff Orps, 2 ISAs, an Easter Egger and Golden Laced Wyandotte. I also have two medium size dogs who go out in the backyard where the chickens reside to do their business and run off some energy. The chickens are fenced in with livestock fencing. I have seen the dogs...

So until today when I just found out about leg mites I believed this to just be dry skin. I know I post a lot about illnesses, hopefully I don't seem like the boy who calls wolf, but are these mites? Thank you for any help!

So I wouldn't say I'm exactly new to gardening but this is the first year I'm going to actually try, for lack of a better word. I'm going to start preparing the soil sometime soon because I'm in zone 11a, and wanted to ask about ideal fertilization. I'm planning on utilizing all my chicken...

One of my pullets just passed some whitish, yellow droppings, almost looks like an egg white with some yolk. She's only about 3 months though, and I don't think she should even be near laying (Wyandotte). So, should I be worried, any ideas? It doesn't look like it's on the spectrum of normal...
