Yes it’s me Ducksandchickens. Finally back after all those long months. I got a new phone, forgot my password, life happened and just remembered byc earlier today. Unfortunately I remembered it because of much needed help and support. If you remembered me on here then you probably remember me...

ive had my red eared slider for about 4 years now and lately she hasn’t been eating anything. Actually kind of all winter she hasn’t been and she’s been a bit sluggish. I’ve never seen her like this before so I’m getting worried. Is it because it’s winter and turtles are supposed to Be...

It’s supposed to be record breaking cold tomorrow and Thursday here in Ohio. I’m saying high of -6 (Fahrenheit) with windchill as low as -50. Yay! (That was sarcasm btw lol) Yesterday evening we brought the chickens and ducks in the garage to be safe. It’s about 30 degrees warmer in the garage...

I’m pretty sure it was my barred rock, Sherman who laid it. It’s strangely shaped but hey, an egg is a egg!:woot

My cat, Neymar, was found in June as a very small kitten in the barn. We estimated she’s about 7-8 months old. Of course we sneak her in sometimes but she’s always been a outdoor cat. Two nights ago something attacked Neymar and we took her to the vet. The vet said it was mostly likely a male...

I let my very small flock of 2 at around 1 today. My usually aggressive RIR, penny,wasn’t moving after she went over to the hose. My other hen, Sherman was acting normal. I went over to penny and she didn’t chase or try to attack me which was very unusual bc she is quite a mean hen. I knew...

My barred rock hen, Sherman has a smaller and lighter comb. It could be because if the cold as here in Ohio it’s Been in the 30’s all week but my RIR has a big red comb still. Sherman is molting but coming near the end of her molt. They’ve stopped laying for the winter Here are some pics that I...

Winter is coming and one of my drakes is looking peaky. They get fresh grass everyday and I feed them everyday but just wondering how much they should be fed? And how many times a day? I’ll post pics tomorrow of the Cup I use. Tia

So I haven’t really introduced my very small flock and other pets so here goes! Also this is in memory of my beloved cat, Mbappe. RIP Mbappe! This is my RIR, Penny. One word sums her up, Devil. She’s a little jerk!!! We handled her like you are supposed to and she’s still very mean...

Winter is coming!! Urghh! I’ve lost 2 ducks to cold last winter(not really my fault seeing as they literally slept in the cold when we have a large dog house for them!) my question is what is the average weight of khaki Campbell drakes? I want to make sure my boys are healthy. My one duckie is...

For the past 4 years my two hens have stopped laying around winter time. We are fine with it because we have a lot of eggs from the fall and summer. I know some people with bigger flocks but they usually get eggs everyday. So I’m wondering if your hens lay in winter?

I have two hens that are about 4 years old. They always have laid in the nesting boxes. I have two nesting boxes btw. When they were about a year old we got them a bigger coop (the one we have now) and they still laid in the boxes. Well now one of my hens is laying in the corner of the coop. I...

My dream is to become a livestock veterinarian and I am wondering if anyone knows of any good vet schools in or around ohio? College is a ways off but never to early to look! :) thanks!

I don’t have many but I collect schleich animals and used to get most of them at toys r us and now that they are out of business it is harder to find them. Tractor supply has some but not a lot of variety and it’s always the same animals so unless they get to new animals I don’t get them there...

We have one cat that we believe is a female but about a week ago another cat came around. We can pet the cat but we can’t pick it up bc it scratches and bites if we do. I’m wondering if u can tell the gender of a cat by looking under the tail? When he/she raises its tail I am wondering if I can...

Ok so on to the reason I made this thread. On June 5, we found this kitten in our garage and rescued her bc she was starving and crying loudly. Here she is when we found her I am wondering at what age can kittens be spayed. We believe she is a female. Here is some pics of her now, The...
