I have a 4 week old chick that I call Regina who was a got from the wild flock in my area after her mum and siblings drowned. She was really weak when I pulled her from the water so I felt bad and kind of spoiled her up until to the point (allowed to roam the house, heating pads everywhere...

Earlier tonight 17 of my chickens were slaughtered by raccoons and I only have 3 left. Of those three I have a leghorn/RIR cross, a buff orpington, and my darling sea bright which I am so very thankful she survived! They're all hens and they've been kept together for the past 3 years but now...

So I've always had a problem with egg eating in the coop bc my neighbors have lights in their backyard that keeps my chickens awake at night. To try and slow it down I started giving them food in the coop at night so that they would eat the food instead of the eggs but instead about 6 nights ago...

My neighbor had a mother duck nesting in her bushes and one morning she came out to find the mother duck had been run over, she gave me the eggs knowing that I had chickens and an incubator hoping that they would live so I popped them in about a week ago and they're hatching out right now! I...

My neighbor had a Muscovy hen that was nesting in the bushes in front of her house for a while, she was pulling out of her driveway this morning and found the mother duck dead in the road. She knew that I had chickens and an incubator so she gathered the eggs and brought them to me. I have no...

I have nine chicks that hatched out exactly 2 weeks ago but some of them already super feathered (The look to be in week four of feathering but there only in week two) and my garage is starting to STINK Anyway, I'm thinking about giving the most feathered three, one more week before I start...

I bought this hen from my local swap shop because she caught my eye and one of my girls had recently passed, I didn't realize until I got her home now that it looks as if her beak was clipped! She has a hard time competing for food with my other chickens so I always feed her away from them and I...

I have a pair of quail chicks that I hatched in a pinch because my pair of quail hens were killed by rats and I wanted to secure their genetics. I've never hatched quail chicks before so out of the 10 eggs I had an incubator only two hatched and even the two that hatched had a hard time...

Hen or roo, a bit small but seems to be squatting

I was having an issue with my to quail hens where one would bully the other and pluck the feathers from her scalp, I was told to get a male to put with my girls to hopefully establish a proper pecking order. By the time I got this male, my hens were already laying and almost 3 months old, the...

Not completely sure if it is a girl or not but I just ran out and bought her because I lost one of my hens to sickness a couple of hours ago What breed are y'all thinking? And why does her beak look so weird?

Currently have him in a completely separate coop and run from all of my other flocks for quarantine but he seems to be a sweet fellow, just curious about what breed you guys think he is! He's quite fat weighing in at almost 16 lb, he's got chicken chub-rub between his legs and belly! He's going...

I have a 4-year-old hen named Mel that often strays from my yard, today when going to put them away I found her in the corner of the coop using the wall to hold her head up, when I picked her up she was shaking and lethargic - how can I get her energy up? I can't bring her into the vet until...

I was recently given a large rooster as a gift from a friend of mine, I believe he's americana? I already have a New Hampshire Red Rooster who way over mounts my 10 hens but has fertility issues and only seems to produce male offspring :/ I was thinking about replacing him with the Americana...

I've had a very persistent and broody buff orpington hen that decided to sit on a clutch of eggs, out of 14 eggs for some reason only three of them turned out good but one of them developed much faster than the other two, I'm guessing the other two were laid later in that same box without me...

Bought this little one to start breed in hopes it was a female, I was told it was a female but I'm not quite sure - anybody here experienced with sexing rabbits? Don't mind the Poo, we're in the process of treating it for worms from when we got her (?)

I have a pair of quail hens I was given as a gift as chicks that I absolutely adore- Monty and Peru- For the most part I keep them in my living room next to a properly shaded window in a 3sqft rabbit cage with a dust bath and feeding/watering stations (in the process of building them a six sqft...

I have a pair of 10 week old quail hens in a three square foot rabbit cage that I keep in my garage, one of the hens has been weak since she was a chick but recently she's been displaying strange behaviors towards my stronger hen- the weaker hen (who is in fact laying eggs) keeps mounting the...

He's about 2-3 weeks old and has a calm temperament

I have two quail that have just turned six weeks old. This mory I finally decided to put a nesting box in there cage to prepare for when they started laying (I put a rubber ball in there to promote them to lay). About 2 hours later there was an egg, then around noon I heard one of them squawk...
