My township is saying that chickens are grazing animals. I was just wondering if if this the usual for other municipalities in that they categorize chickens with "grazing animals" on the ordinances. Thanks!

I have way too many roosters and and am hoping someone can give them their own girls. All are good with chicks and people. They all can be handled. I would love to keep them all but there is too much fighting starting. Some do not look the greatest at the moment due to fighting but they can look...

Has anyone ever had this happen to any of their chickens? This is my second one. It seems both just came back from a molt and their crop stopped functioning. It was not impacted or sour. I thought it was odd that both quit working after a molt. They both came from the same source and are the...

I am brand new to turkeys and I picked up these youngsters yesterday. They are about 4 months old. Do you have any idea what breed they might be? I am really liking them, They are very calm and are following me around already. I don't know why I didn't get any sooner!

I have never encountered this before and I can't find a whole lot of info on it either. I have a naked neck chick that suddenly developed swollen ears. The best way to try to describe it is they kind of look like a doughnut with a black center. I could not see that there was drainage or anything...

I have a sick bantam salmon favorelle. I had first noticed her puffed up and checked her out to find she had a very poopy pasty butt. The poop has a sour smell to it. I have tried to treat her so far for vent gleet, I wormed her and am now giving corid just in case it was one of the cocci's. She...

I have way to many boys here and need to find homes for some of them. These two hatched together and are best buddies and I would like to keep them together. I have been calling them Mutt & Jeff. (Jeff is the turken) Both are still a little rambunctious with the girls but might calm down once...

I have several roosters that need new homes! They are all friendly and easily handled. I just hatched too many and since they are such good boys, I would like to try to find them some girls of their own. They do come from an NPIP flock and are AI free. Some of these boys can go together.

I am needing to rehome some of my boys. I just hatched too many. All are sweet gentle good boy. They are bigger and heavier than a silkie so larger girls for them would be better. They are about 6 months old. I am NPIP. Local pickup. They would just be so much happier with his own girls to care...

I am needing to rehome some of my boys. I just hatched too many. Both are sweet gentle good boy. They are bigger and heavier than a silkie so larger girls for them would be better. Both are about 5 months old. I am NPIP. Local pickup. They would just be so much happier with his own girls to care...

Ok, I never thought about owning one but had been approached today and was asked if I would like to buy a gentle male for $100. I really did not get specifics as to age and such because I really wasn't sure how to answer them. I did say I would think about it and am now wondering the pros & cons...

I just had to share a cute story that happened today. It was just the sweetest and cutest thing I have seen. One of my silkie moms recently started to take the chicks outside. A storm came in suddenly and I believe she thought it would be better to hunker down over her babies to protect them...

I will be doing a move soon that will be 13+ hours and I want to take my flock along. I am looking for suggestions on how to transport that will be best for my chickens. I will be using carriers and crates and will it be best to leave alot of space per chicken or making sure they are in there...

I will most likely be moving south here very shortly. I am actually leaving today to go look at a property that I am very interested in and hope to buy. I do not want to get rid of my flock and want to take them along to the new place. I did downsize to a little less than 50 including chicks. It...

I had a chick hatch two days ago that has a protrusion from the vent that look like intestines. The first day there was blood but he is no longer bleeding since that time but it is getting worse and more is protruding especially when I try to clean the area. My guess is his chances are slim to...

This is Lyle and Baby. Both have had onset of leg paralysis and are to go to the vet on Wednesday. It is a shame becasue both are so sweet and I had to post a final picture of them because the outlook does not look really good for either of them. Lyle started about 2 weeks ago and Baby just 2...

This boy still needs a home with his own girls. He is a good roo, protective of his girls and watches over them. This guy isn't too very big but should be the only roo. He does get along with some boys but if he doesn't like one, he sure lets them know. I can pick him up and handle him OK but...

I have a silkie chick that has spraddle leg. I have treated others in the past but this chick is even tiny for a silkie chick and I know they usual treatments won't work because she is so small. Any ideas? EDITED! I initially thought it was spraddle leg but this chicks leg extends out at the...

I lost my Splash Andalusian today. She just turned a year old May 31st. I had found her hit by a car off the road. Apparently they had cut the brush back from the road where she was was hit and when I went over there to get her a million grasshoppers flew. This is most likely what had caused her...

I have a chicken that has a weak leg or legs. She will be 3 months old soon. It is hard to tell if it is both or if it is because the one gives out on her. I could not feel anything broken. What does it look like if they stretched a tendon or ligament at the knee. That is where it seems to give...
