Meet Tyson. Tyson is a lone poultry type resident in his home. He adopted his family when hi showed up out of nowhere. He seemed perfectly fine for many months. Out of the blue he developed what looks like a slipped tendon. My Google super powers are broken, I can find nothing on slipped tendon...

My birds free range. As a result my yard is very well fertilized, and mallow has taken over. Like whoa bad. Mow and a week later its almost waist high. My chickens and ducks get lost in it, they have discovered its great to hide nests in, i discovered stepping on eggs isnt so great. I also...

My BO lays daily. Never missed a day since she started. A week ago i checked her nest, which she has moved 3 times, all to places easily found. So i assumed she stopped for some reason, maybe a molt starting, or she was planning on going broody, but a week of no eggs and nothing. Well, today...

So I went back through memory and posts on facebook and figured that may 11th Bella the chicken was sitting on 3 duck eggs. It may have been a couple days already at that point, but I really don't remember how much longer. Assuming they were just placed that day, that means the egg has been...

My peking has greenish colored spots on her bill. My kid thinks its mold. I'm thinking it's copper stains. Any ideas on it? I'll try to get a good pic tomorrow, tonight she's just to mud covered.

I'm not racist or anything...but I will never have a white duck again. Because it rains. Because it gets muddy. Because she just can't avoid the mud and seeks it out.

Life is good here I know. I know I've spoiled you rotten and showered you with treats. I know how much you enjoy coming to perch on the chair with me as I sit and watch chicken TV, drinking my coffee and trying to wake up as the sun sets...but for the love of all things somewhat clean...please...

Our babies(around 3 months I think, a SLW and a buff cochin banty frizzle.) are living full time outside and doing fine...except at bedtime. For 3 weeks straight, every single night, we have relocated them to the roost in the pen. They refuse to do it on their own. Instead they seem to prefer...

Bella the Salmon Fave is just over a year old. She is broody for the third time since last November. We stuck fertile duck eggs under her and she's taking care of them pretty good it seems. Well, we have 2 little chicks. Ones a buff cochin frizzle bantam named Squiddley, about 3 months old. It...

So miss Bella is broody AGAIN. the 3rd time time since November. We have 2 little baby chicks, a silver laced wyandotte, and a buff cochin frizzle banty. We evicted the babies from the house a week ago. They have been living in the unused duck pen to give them and the big birds(bella the...

Yesterday I put the ducks in their pen and closed the door. Later that evening I checked on them and found Bella the chicken in the duck pen...and the ducks laying in the middle of the yard staring at me with their beady little black eyes. Last night I put the ducks back in their pen and evicted...

So it seems like doc may be a jumbo pekin. I was readingand it says they are usually under 15 lbs. That means doc at 27 is fat. Maybe I need to stop free feeding... She really doesn'tseem seriously fat...just big. She eats layer feed. All the grass and bugs she finds in the yard. L eft over...

Meet Squiddly, chicken little, ugliest chick in the world. He/she can't walk really, to top and front heavy...walking leads to him falling face first. So he runs all over. We went to the feed store to get just one more chick... the 16 yr old saw this and fell in love. Feed store lady and I both...

Yesterday we Couldn't find her fat tail anywhere. I didn't think there was any place she could escape. we talked to the neighbors, no one saw her. We called animal control and all the shelters, no reports of a duck on the loose...so I sat here in tears worried about my fat duckie. Well, a few...

We are dog sitting my dads dog...She's not quite used to the chickens and ducks, has chased them a few times, but when they turn on her she runs(I'm not worried about her hurting them). tonight she came back in the house looking like this...My daughter said she is in disguise so she can get in...

I've been working into turning our yard into an oasis instead of a desert. of course the BIRDS decided I was doing it just for them Doc even helped with digging.

I posted previously about this chicks odd posture and wings. I was able to finally get some decent pics that show what I mean. This is the chick we didn't expect to live. here it is, 2 wks later, and still alive and growing. *EDIT FOR NEW PIC* Not quite so ugly...any guess as...

My salmon fave broke broody around thanksgiving. christmas she molted. she just started laying agin 2 weeks ago. Shes broody again. I've been trying to break her of it for 4 days now. It wouldn't be so bad if she were nesting in the coop or even their pen, but shes sitting on a pile of screws...

We got a new chick(silver laced wyandotte). I couldn't deal with it being in the cage alone, which the only time it was in there was while my oldest was asleep, rest of the time she was on her shoulder. So, took kidlet 2 to the feed store. they had bantys and reds. She didn't want a red, but...

It stays really warm and there are no drafts in there. There is a thermometer at both ends of the cage, one end is holding about 88, the other at 93. The 2 chickies were actually acting like they were to warm earlier so we took the cover off the end without the lamp.
