Ok this is an odd request to make, but here goes. I'm in southeast Delaware. I have many Homing Pigeons, but one is a special needs...sweet Ziggy, with the zig-zag cross beak. It's so bad she cannot feed herself. So I hand feed her daily 2x a day, about a teaspoon of pigeon grain, some grit...

Well this is a new one for me. My neighbor recently got 4 Pullets, red hens. 1 seemed to have pasty butt, so I was helping her clean it & noticed the vent opening seemed very small. I thought it may be due to being so young & swollen having the pasty butt. She did put Braggs ACV in their water...

Hi, can I talk with someone that has used Bravecto Plus Spot treatment (small dose for cats) to address red mites on chickens? I saw a few posts on here & sent messages but haven't heard back yet. I just have a few questions. (I'd prefer to use Exzolt but it's not available here)

I'd like to gain some of your wisdom regarding Flock Guardians, as so many on this site share similar predator dilemmas. How do you deal with predators? I currently have predator proof pens for my chickens. I'd like to free range more often. I ended up with 2 pairs of Guineas right when...

So I have Rocky my Rooster, he's an old man now, 7 or 8 yrs old Barred Rock. He's a little slower, a little stiff, but he still likes to put on his Rooster show for the ladies. I saw something white, inner corner of his eye, so I checked him over. It looked like a little piece of rubber...weird...

I've been draining a hen with ascites. She seems her chipper, happy self after each draining. I know this isn't a cure. I've read enough to realize what is inevitable. My question...For those with experience, aside from obviously a living creature becoming unhappy or miserable suffering, (she's...

Hey there, my fellow bird lovers! Sometimes we see sweet things that just touch our hearts. You know those..."Awww, so cute" photos? Thought a post to share them with eachother would be fun.

So...did you Finally get a decent photo...after numerous attempts? Hey, we all do it, try to get 1 decent photo of our beautiful, fluffy butt, feathered friends...which are mostly always in motion. We end up with about 30 blurry, facing the wrong way or just not looking as cute as usual, or even...

So my 1st chickens are getting up there in age I guess...ranging from 7 to 10 yrs old, egg laying breeds. I know we all get older & things start ailing us, that's life no matter what species. But I haven't had older hens before. I thought it rather odd to have 3 different ailing scenarios the...

I've had a few prolapses with homing pigeons before, treated them easily. So this is my 1st prolapse with a chicken...and good grief, It's bigger and nastier! Well I've been working with my little 7 year old EE, Pepper Sprout, for 2 hours now. The 1st hour was basically relaxing her, soaking...

My friends have a sweet male turkey, Jake. He somehow seems to have injured his foot or leg. A vet did come to see him early December. He had antibiotics & anti inflammatory meds. Vet could not find broken bones or bumblefoot. Jake has been set up inside the house with a walker that elevates...

I got a bunch of chicks in August & knew who & what all were...except for this little girl. She looked different even as a chick. She's a real sweetheart and lays brown eggs, color of eggs are a brown darker than Wyandotte but lighter than RIR eggs. Any ideas on her breed?

Every year it seems some skunk takes up residence under one of my sheds. At other houses I've lived in & before I even had Pigeons or Chickens. Well...we just had a few rare days of spring-like weather, and last night, a skunk had a blast stinking up my property. I was folding laundry about 9pm...

My older EE hen, Daisy, was a little limpy, so I checked her all over, but found nothing, no bumblefoot, just found her to be a little light weight. So, I set her up by herself to eat in peace & her appetite was great. I gave calcium supplement, as sometimes a hen may go lame & just need...

My friends have chickens, ducks & turkeys, about 30 birds total. Rats have infested their barn, in walls & digging tunnels. Last night they started chewing on sleeping birds. I have never dealt with rats before, and I have been reading up, I see various suggestions but I want to know the best...

I got a few chicks at Tractor Supply a few days ago. One of them has an odd injury, it looks as though it may have had a string wrapped around it's neck, to the point of cutting into skin! The hardened scab was like a hard black choker collar, all the way around neck, and the growth of the...
