I have 3 potbellied piglets that we pulled last night, they are 4 1/2 weeks old. Boys go tomorrow to be neutered. So far Ive not seen them eat or drink. They were rooting for food with mom but are pretty freaked out when I come near them. You can hold them and they will cuddle up but coming...

Last year I raised about 20 or so chicks myself and then ended up buying a couple from a breeder that were around the same age. Her chicks were almost double the size of mine. What in the world am I doing wrong? When they are tiny they go in the little coop, once they are a safe size they...

I have a pekin that doesnt look quite right. Siblings are fine and normal but she stumbles a lot, doesnt seem steady on her feet, has water circles under her eyes and even holds her neck curved (the others are normal, holding their heads up when walking). She will even float lower in the...

Im a little worried that my girls have been laying for way too long. I have a Pekin and a Muskovy both on nests. I checked all of their eggs and all of the Muscovys look to be fertile, about half of the Pekin's were bad. I removed the bad eggs. My best guess is the Pekin started her nest...

Found abandoned in a crate on the side of the road. They are about half the size of my mature RIR too and habe feathers on their feet.

It started off with a limp, but high like in her hip. She would stay off by herself but would roost with everyone at night. her limp started to get worse so I isolated her and now this is how she walks. She eats and drinks, has NOT laid an egg since I isolated her. She can stand but seems to...

Speckled sussex hen went broody and started laying between our square bales. I found her nest yesterday morning and had to take it away from her because the eggs she was laying were falling between the bales. She apparently would loose them between the bales and then lay more. I had to tear...

I have a RIR chick that feels really hot. Its the smallest of the group. It eats, drinks but always seems to keep to itself. I picked it up last night and was surprised at how hot it was. It doesnt seem to have the poops, its backside is clean, no wounds or anything. I think it lost some...

I found my RIR momma with a broken leg last night. She cant use it, it is snapped on the long part with a wound on the front like she caught it in something. Ive cleaned it and splinted it up. She is eating and drinking, but her foot is still pretty swollen and hot. Do I give antibiotics...

I have chicks from 6 weeks to 12 weeks, hens 8-9 months to 2 years, roosters and ducks. They all eat together. Id like to start them on a good laying pellet but is that sufficient for the babies? Some of them are still pretty small and Im not always the one that feeds so I cant separate them...

I have 19 chicks and two mommas in the small coop right now. I'd like to start moving them out with the adults soon. The oldest chicks are around 8 weeks old and the youngest are around 5 weeks old. Mix of game chickens, RIR, Orpington, australorp and ameraucana. They all seem to be fully...
