hello all - i have tried searching 'yellow runny stool' and have come up with many threads and no definite answer, so sorry for being impatient carmella is a 6+ month old pullet (no evidence of egg laying yet) she is a Sicilian Buttercup. her symptoms include bright yellow runny stool that is...

yesterday my 5+ month old brown leghorn pullet was gasping and sneezing/wheezing to the point that i was ready to cull her. her comb and wattles were turning purple, obviously due to some sort of oxygen deficit. i felt along her esophagus, felt no obvious obstructions. she was getting weaker and...

i tried looking up this subject in older threads, but couldn't find a definite answer. my brahma pullet has snapped off one of her foot feathers and it is bleeding at the stump. not terrible, but i was wondering if i should pluck it? leave it? or what? not overly concerned, but still wanna do...

i love our br roo. we live in city limits. would early castration do any good to quell the crow reflex? he is our pet and don't want to give him up. he's a real sweet guy. he's 3 mos old and crowed the first time a couple days ago. thanx!!

well, today my BR crowed. it wasn't pretty, it was no serenade, but....he finally sealed the deal as to what gender he is. i suspected since the 1st week i had him. posted pics, can't find the thread (?) but, wanted to settle the score with who voted! poor guy, it was like the crow happened TO...

my 14.5 year old catahoula cross is having difficulty standing and is clearly dealing with a fair amount of discomfort. this came on very sudden, over just a couple hours. took him to emergency vet, they x-rayed and drew blood. no real leads yet. his innards look great, aside for the huge meal...

her baby feathers are coming out in a very funny way! these little remnants make her look very frilly. also, i got her out of a bin labeled 'aracaunas' and i've been reading here that they are somewhat rare? is she more likely an americauna? and what is her coloring called? she has olive green...

pretty cute. am thinking about clicker training my birds for a no-fail 'come' but now i wanna train them to do tricks to, hahha!

hi all, my going on 15 yr old catahoula cross has been a little wobbly. the last few days it has become apparent she is having some troubles with her balance, seems to be on the right side which leads me to believe it's ear-related. she fell down while running the other day and we thought she...

s(he) is now around 4 weeks old. as you can see, there's a little wattle development too. is it a breed thing? or do you think this lady is really a gentleman?? definitely the dominant bird of the flock. thanx for lookin'

I am on my first batch of backyard chickens, and all were bought as pullets. My barred rock is going on 3 weeks old and has barely gotten any sort of tail feathers - as I've been told, females get the primary feathers first. all the others in (his?!) age group have their tail feathers - could...
