Have convinced my mother to have a pet chicken instead of a puppy, and got this little guy for her. Its not our first pet chicken but we are unfamiliar with its breed
About 23-25 days old, having her ugly phase, please ignore the soupy dirty crop.
Mostly black with white on the throat and belly. Dark green / hazel (?) eyes. Yellow comb, beak and legs mostly black with yellow here and there. Has a small bald spot under ears.
Shes eating almost every type of seed i give her, but not dried corn. So i give her boiled fresh corn to make it up in occasion. Yes, im trying to feed her as balanced as possible, but cant really use pellets-feed because where i live, only pellets-feeds that are sold are really low quality, and...
Bantam hen lost a bit weight during molting, and gained afterwards, but then proceeded to lose more weight progressively and has unusual droppings for the last a week or so. Shes in quarantine, in order to not to risk the others.
Shes NOT showing any other symptoms like abnormal breathing...
I didnt expect to end up here tbh but im glad i did :). I always wanted to have king pigeons. Big and cuddly. But hard to find. So i started with lots of local breeds such as mardin turkish tumbler , some breed called trakya (a region in turkey) pigeon and carriers.
But after finding kings i...
Heater is a MUST. Room temp. It around 22C. And bettas live in 25-26C waters. And water gets warmer later much more than the air. So you need around 30C room temp
to feel 26C water heat.
Without heater , water stays around 10-15C with a 160 liters aquarium.
Bettas often ignore humans for...
I had few rescue cockatiels and they were pretty lovely actually. But my first gray was a disaster. It would scream/growl so loud i couldnt even hear my own talking. And that alexanderine almost broke my finger during training. I dont blame them. Just Birbs being birbs. But i think they are not...
They dont suddenly get to like you. You need to build a bond and friendship through pain of getting bitten and headache of constant yelling and screaming of the parrot. African greys literally hiss and growl.
You need to spend so much time training, entertaining and taking care of it. I had an...
Donkeys and horses dont mess around. My friend used to have a dog. But he got kicked by a donkey and died. Donkeys can and often will kill coyotes and puma. They can be more expensive to care for but a standard donkey would do so much better at protecting. Also some people i know uses ostriches...
My little troublemaker son. Turkish tumbler × carrier pigeon mix. Had to handfeed him. Parents kicked him out & He was wounded by an adult male. He had a deep cut on his throat so i called him "cut-throat " since he is an absolute bully and ball of anger, the name suits him even better. His leg...
I used to breed show bettas. Body landuage is everything.
Their body language should be confident and relaxed. But they are have stiff muscles and slightly closed fins. Fancy girls is feeling slightly bettee about all this but little female has very visible stress stripes. And hee fin colors...
Liar? Thats very kind of you.
Never had a chicken that got injured, sick or died under my care. Never got any behaviour issues. They were always fed naturally and i never used chicken feed as an easy way out to feed them. I chop vegetables, fruits, meat and fish for them every day and they eat...
Poor girl looks so stressed. That can kill a betta quicker than any disease or bad water condition. Bettas are very hardy fish. But i wouldnt keep them with any other fish than cory cats or kuhlii loaches. They are relatively slow fishes and get easily stressed when kept with faster fishes and...
