    Baby pigeon formula

    Oh that's actually so interesting! Thank you for the advice! I have been raising chickens for over 10 years now, and all other birds...just seem the same to me 😂 but that's actually so interesting, and I will definitely keep it in mind! Also, all birds hatched and are healthy!! They're so...

    Baby pigeon formula

    Yeah, I was away when the eggs were laid...and by the time I got back, I knew they were already developing... I'd hate to see them die, but the thought of caring for them, and feeding them THAT often (call me insensitive), just sounds tiresome. I really wish I could do more, but I think my best...

    Baby pigeon formula

    Hello! I'm about to have some baby pigeons on the farm, and I'm looking for a recipe on how to make something similar to crop milk, for my two babies. They haven't hatched yet, so I'm trying to get a headstart on the situation...in case I need to hand raise them. It's the middle of winter, and...

    Rooster or hen?

    I have a...not even year old Cream Legbar chicken, who I got as an assumed hen. She keeps chasing me and my animals around, also being rather dominant towards the other hens in the flock. Just a dominant hen? Do floofs matter on this breed? Because I got two of them, and this chickens afro is a...

    Blood Clot in hen??

    The first clot...I don't remember where that was located. But the recent hen we lost, that blood clot was in the lower right side of her abdomen. It was about the size of my palm. I did get a picture, just didn't know if anyone would want to see it...it's kinda gross🤣

    Blood Clot in hen??

    Hey y'all! Recently I've had two hens die quite suddenly. The morning of, they both seemed fine, then next thing you know, I come out and they're just dead! We cut them open and dissected the bodies...and came across large blood clots in both birds. (I would like to mention, that both these...

    Ducks and chickens together?

    Hey y'all! Just wanted to get some advice about keep ducks and chickens in the same flock. I know it's done, but before I do it, I want to know if there are any items I should know that may cause harm to my hens. I've heard of things like male ducks breeding hens, and it causing problems with...

    Can I raise chickens with quail?

    So do you think maybe I should put her with some small breeds of bantams? Like maybe a Sebright or Serama? I just want the fight to be fair lol. I'm tired of her being picked on.

    Hello! I have a very small hen...like legit tiny😂 she is a frizzle bantam, and just never grew to the right size.

    Chicken with Arthritis

    Hello! I have a 6 year old hen who has been dealing with Arthritis. She broke her leg when she was about 2 or 3 and hasn't really ever fully recovered. She has always had a gimp, but moves around with the flock normally! She eats and drinks, and even hops up on the roost at night. She always...

    Yes to both. I just started giving them oyster shells this week! And I could put a drop or two of Vitamin D in her special breakfasts! 😁

    Respiratory Illness

    No, no other symptoms. I've been monitoring her for coughing, sneezing, or runny nose. But other than the throat, she is typically fine. Today she just seems off. And idk if a mentioned it, but she has had this for about a month. Wouldn't the rest of my flock have it by now? Just curious! 😁

    Respiratory Illness

    Update: I got her to eat blueberries, and I put VetRX in her water, and I also added some garlic powder in there too. Her comb was purple at the tip this morning, which made me think she wasn't getting enough oxygen, henceforth why she was breathing through her mouth. But about 20 mins later, I...

    Respiratory Illness

    Hello! I have a hen who has been dealing with a respiratory issue for the past month. I have been applying VetRX to her throat basically everyday. She seemed like she was getting better, but today she isn't looking too good. She was walking slower than usual, her comb was flopped over a little...

    Soft shelled eggs daily

    Yeah I have heard that DE can be dangerous, but my hens haven't had an issue yet. I just got over poultry lice(last month was rough. It felt like one illness after the other), and I used DE and powdered every chicken for weeks. They never seemed to have a problem with it. I will check out the...

    Soft shelled eggs daily

    A friend of mine is having the same issue rn. A soft shelled egg basically everyday. But they don't know who it is. My birds do have some sort of worm. I have been trying to get rid of it for the past month, and it seems like it has gone down. I first noticed little yellow larvae in their poop...
