New to goats and picked up a 3 week old doeling last weekend, we've gone back and forth with solid stools, mostly they've been soft. she is happy, energetic little girl and I want to keep her that way. Raising her w whole cows milk and after the first few days she seemed to straighten out...

long story short, because of personality conflicts btwn him and my now ex-husband, I gave a gelding that I bred to a friend back in 2003 with the understanding that if there came a time that she couldn't keep him, she would let me know.. at the time I lived 30 minutes away, but I've moved to NY...

ok, so we've decided to try and get a foal out of my Arab stallion, he is a very good boy and has thrown some nice babies in the past unfortunately I don't have any of them.. he is getting up in years and I would really like a foal (future trail horse). I have a breeding lease with a very nice...

Ok, so judging by all the missing feathers on his back and the rumpled windblown appearance I assume my little Bantam Frizzle Cochin is going thru a bad molt, he is a wild little boy and not always easy to get a hold of, so I didn't notice right away, but what on earth is going on with his wing...

ok, had to share this with you guys, Brief background. Charlie (Barred NN) is the dominant Rooster and his special girl is Curly ( 1/3 his size, but also a Barred NN) Charlie loves Curly so much that I will be looking for a hen saver apron w/ shoulder protection a bit later today.. Other...

ok, so on Sunday June 19th, my Polish pullet (16 weeks old today) disappeared,we looked everywhere we could, called and called (usually she will come to my voice or chirp at me), but we couldn't find her, after a few days of searching we figured that hawk or fox came down and got her, nothing...

Too many Roosters, this little guy, needs a new home..

The other chickens have pecked her bald for the last time. I am not in a position to keep her permanently separated, so I've come to the difficult decision to let her go.. I will only give her to a home with the ability to keep her in a separate pen with other crested breeds in order to give...

I've posted before about my Polish hen being pecked, well they did it again.. I've been keeping stuff on her head in hopes that once the feathers grew back, it would be long enough that they would be out of the habit and leave her alone.. They were really looking good and starting to fill out...

I have a bad feeling this is a Roo, I already have 2 NN Roo's and can't keep another one... This baby is 5 1/2 weeks old.. what do you think?

We needed a bigger coop so I convinced DH to use some of the materials lying around, we had a stack of pallets and an old barn / shed that had been torn down when the horse barn went up... I thought I had pics of the base and floor going in but can't find them.. oh well this is what we have so...

Poor Chickie (my 9 yr old named her) she really can't see a thing, we've trimmed her crest a few times and it helps a little, but not enough (I'm not sure how far I can cut it back without hurting her) about a month ago she was up on the hay and fell between the hay and the barn wall, easy...

So I have this friend in PA and she was downsizing and said she would give me two of her horses, so I found a friend to drive me and we drove the 5 hours from upstate NY to get the horses.. Well Judy was showing us around and talking about downsizing everything and didn't I want a chicken or...

Hi, I'm fairly new to chickens and haven't posted to the forum before.. I ordered a variety of pullets from a hatchery and they came in the mail back in March. They just turned 7 weeks old.. I've noticed that the top of my little Polish hen's head was a little bald, but having never had one...
