    Any artists out there?

    I’m studying graphic design and illustration and in one of my classes I had an assignment to make an infographic. I was happy with how it came out so I wanted to share it somewhere ☺️

    Pigeon pairing question

    I also agree with sourland, they might not start sharing duties for a bit. They are young though, and inexperienced, so there might be a few bumps in the road! Within a few days they should hopefully start taking shifts.

    Pigeon pairing question

    Sounds like you do have a male and female judging by behavior, if two females pair up you might end up with as many as four eggs in the nest so just the one makes me think you’ve got a male/female pair. Did you candle the egg to see if it’s fertile? Are they young birds, do you know if they have...

    2 Free Silkie Roos, Mid-Michigan

    UPDATE: unfortunately while they were out free ranging today my little orange roo was killed by a hawk. I still have the black and white roo that needs a new home but the orange one is no longer available :(

    Are these pigeons okay to breed?

    My rule of thumb is usually if they can’t raise their own babies I don’t want anything to do with them because I agree with that video, it seems unethical to breed a bird that can’t function as a bird on its own. Capuchines do just fine on their own, their mane of long neck feathers doesn’t...

    2 Free Silkie Roos, Mid-Michigan

    They’re both around 5 – 5 1/2 months old (hatched late April, I don’t know the exact date). And to answer your question on the other thread, whereabouts are you? I’d go maybe an hour or so from Bay City (where I’m at).

    Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

    Figured I’d share it here, looking to rehome two silkie roosters out of the Saginaw Bay area, my thread for it is here.

    2 Free Silkie Roos, Mid-Michigan

    Unfortunately two of my chicks this year ended up being roosters, and I can’t keep roosters where I live. They’re both super sweet, friendly boys. One is a black and white silkie and the other is some kind of mille-fleur silkie cross. Both are beautiful birds that I wish I could keep. I would...

    Chick having difficulty breathing but otherwise normal. Advice?

    That’s not a stupid question! It’s a mixture to add to water to help with hydration, I used a store bought mix but I know there’s homemade recipes that include brown sugar and a couple other general household staples. you can look that up or I’m sure other people on this site have their own recipes!

    Chick having difficulty breathing but otherwise normal. Advice?

    I don’t, but good news, after a few days of close watching and lots of electrolytes she seemed to recover from her issue and is now doing just fine!

    Animal Track ID Help?

    No claw marks that I can see. Location is not super close to water (2 miles or so from anything other than a tiny creek) and there are no drag marks from a tail or sliding. Bobcat could be a possibility because I’ve seen them in the area before. Strides were about a foot, maybe 1’ 1/2”.

    Animal Track ID Help?

    Found these in northern lower Michigan, not directly related to chickens but I cannot think of any animal that would make tracks side by side like this at this size and I’m dying to know what it could have been! Size makes me think coyote but why would it be walking like this? Were there maybe...

    Chick having difficulty breathing but otherwise normal. Advice?

    Her crop feels normal, she’s definitely been eating and drinking okay as I can feel that in there but that’s it. She’s with two other chicks I got from the same sale but from a different seller, they’re younger at around two weeks old. They’re all under a heat lamp in a tub with pine shavings...

    Chick having difficulty breathing but otherwise normal. Advice?

    I was at a bird sale yesterday and picked up a polish frizzle chick, what I estimate to be 4-5 weeks old. I didn’t see any sign of illness in her at the sale, but once I got home I realized she was breathing very heavily with her neck extended and mouth open. However, there is nothing blocking...
