Yesterday while sitting outside and admiring my flock, one of the younger pullets took a nasty, foamy dump right infront of me. Upon closer inspection, there were teeny tiny worms moving around in it. 🤢 with some research online, I think they are cecal worms?? I tried to smear the poo to get a...
She definitely had some mucous and a little bit of food but couldnt see anything else that looked like an issue. I don't know if I stressed her out by trying to look into her beak or what, but she laid down and started gargling/choking. We tried to help her get whatever it was out of her airway...
I posted this in a Facebook group but only got one somewhat helpful answer, so trying here for more opinions.
Today when I went to let my chickens out to free range, my favorite brahma hen was the last one to come out of the coop. She was walking slowly and wasn't talking to me like she...
Thank you all. I think I'm gonna just try tossing a few in the incubator next time I have space and see what happens 😅 I don't have high hopes tho lol.
My two aprox. 8 month old guinea hens started laying a couple weeks ago. I was hoping to hatch some guinea keets this year, but so far none of the eggs I've cracked open appear to have the bullseye. This one does have a bigger blastodisc than the last few though, but still not quite a bullseye...
Thank you for sharing this link, I couldn't find any pictures of Cayugas with markings, other than the white feathers they get as they age. I'm curious to see if my duckling will keep the eyebrows into adulthood. It's kinda cute, haha
So, during a visit to the feed store a couple weeks ago, my partner decided we would would be taking home a couple of ducklings (a magpie and a black sweedish, I think) that they had. How can I say no, we already have chickens 😂 Since there were only two, and I've wanted cayugas for awhile now...
The chick I posted about unfortunately passed away last night. The rest of them still seem healthy, but while cleaning the brooder this morning I did notice just one of the droppings looked like it had a small amount of blood in it. I didn't think to take a picture of it though... But I did pick...
Hello, I need a bit of advice, as this is my first time raising chicks. Over the weekend, I bought some mixed chicks from tractor supply. They were the last chicks of the season and were on sale. I'm not sure how old they are, I'm assuming around a week and a half. I also got a few guinea keets...
