My family went to a feed store and brought back a goose. Mind you we’ve never had a goose before and we have no idea how to take care of one. Any suggestions? (Also it keeps trying to eat my cloths. It’s cute now, but I get the feeling that it’s gonna hurt when it’s older.)
Mites are becoming a major issue with me. I’ve tried different sprays, deep cleaning my coop, certain baths, but nothing I do seems to get rid of them. I can tell that they’re bothering my birds and I need them gone. Do any of you know a way to get rid of them that can do a mass section of my...
I have a young hen 7 months who has been attacked by a type of mite that makes it to where she can’t stand on her legs. What do I need to do to help her? (I have her on probiotics, electrolytes, and I gave her a boiled egg to help her out. We do not have a poultry vet here)
In March my turkey Tommie was a beautiful loving turkey who loved me and my family. She would always jump up and down when she saw us and would make cute little purring sounds. After March she started to loose less and less energy. She’s the only turkey in our flock and the chickens are afraid...
I have a sweet royal palm turkey named Tommie who isn’t looking so great . At first I thought she was just molting, but that doesn’t usually take 3 months does it? Her face is pale and she hasn’t laid an egg in a week. She isn’t as fat as she used to be and she.
I have a young chicken who’s breed I can’t figure out. Her mom is a light brown Easter egger, but her dad is unknown. Which one of these two boys could it be?
also is this chick a girl or a boy? It’s around 6 weeks old
(this is the chick who’s father is unknown)
I have a chicken who isn’t getting the nutrition she needs. She’s a 1 year old buff Orpington hen who weighs a little over 2 1/2 pounds. She’s missing many feathers and has a low energy. I know the first step is to isolate her away from the flock so that she can actually eat, but what do I do next?
My broody hen just hatched out a chick who’s mom is a Easter-egger and it’s dad is a polish. Any one know what that cross will look like? Also I need a name for it
I have a royal palm turkey who is the best thing that ever happened to my flock, but lately she’s been acting a bit strange. She’s had little to no energy and her wattle is a strange color. She’s one year old, and she’s about to have her 2nd birthday on the 29th. Please help me with my girl.

I had a white crested blue polish who was walking around clucking this morning, and when I went to go collect eggs I found her dead. This had happened the other day to my Cornish rock hen, but I figured it was just because she was a meat bird. She had normal brown poops and when she was dead her...
I have a broody hen that keeps trying hatch some baby’s, but there are two other hens that keep trying to eat the eggs from under her. Is there any way I can get the other two hens out so that my girl can hatch us some chicks? Also how many days does it take before you can tell wether or not a...
I have a 1 1/2 year frizzle boy who is constantly getting picked on. He’s the sweetest bird in the flock, but the hens think his feathers are delicious. I want to quarantine him to try and get some feathers to grow back, but the only place I have to do that is by the house, and his crow is loud...
I was thinking about getting some more chickens to add to the flock, but I have no idea where to start. I need some hearty chickens with a calm temperament. Any ideas?
Every year me and my family like to plant a small garden of a few vegetables and flowers, but we always have one small problem. Squash bugs. Is there any way that I can have my chickens eat the bugs and not the plants?
When my turkey first started laying eggs I could fit it into a jumbo chicken container, however, now my eggs are a bit too big for that. Is there anywhere that I can bye a egg container that her eggs will fit in?
I have a royal palm turkey that can walk, but is getting to where she lays down a lot. I don't know if she's just resting or if theres something wrong.
I have a New Hampshire chicken that got pecked pretty bad, but we were able to clean up her wounds. It’s day three and she still cannot walk. Any advise? We are giving her food and water I just had to move it for the picture.
(this is her before we cleaned her up, but it shows how she can’t...
