    Quail dying! Help!

    This is an older thread, and I am just seeing it- but for anyone else having problems...here is some info that may help. 1) Birds (most in general) are very low on the food chain and do not generally show signs of illness, injury or discomfort until it is "too late." Generally speaking; by the...

    Mites again!

    I had a terrible bout with them concerning a few chickens from a swap last month. Good thing I had them quarantined of I have no idea what I would have done (had it spread to my 50+ flock.) I generally try to do everything as "natural" as possible and in this case- I found the trick that...

    Perplexed by abdomen distention and swelling.

    I have a hen (SLW) that is no longer laying (for over a year) who has been lethargic lately. I knew her time was coming, as she's an old girl and had a good life. She sleeps on the floor of the coop instead of the perch, and sometimes lays down to eat. Today I was feeding her from my hand and...

    AMPUTATED TURKEY WING- WILL HE MAKE IT? (pics)

    Hi :( even though turkeys are known for perching, roosting and flying- this little guy failed at all three and fell of a perch (4 ft in the air) and broke his humerus. He is about 3 months old, a blue slate and he is my flipping buddy- his name is Duke. His wing will not stay braced and the vet...

    First time Seramie Mommie:)

    It is still cool enough here that she (the mother hen) and the rest of the Serama, are still inside:) I am just as excited as could be. Her little chickie is doing great so far. It is just amazing to see how flawless the mothers are and how clumbsy we as humans are in comparison. I have spent...

    First time Seramie Mommie:)

    My year old serama hen is broody for the first time and her egg is "scheduled" to hatch today:) This is my first time letting a broody hen hatch an egg..thought we were all done with chicks...never! Any advice for letting the hen raise her own chick? Thanks so much!

    Bully Chick?

    Ha. Well I separated them last night and when I woke up the Mille was back in the frizzle tub. I had the Right next to each other so they could see eachother but I think that just made them both crazy that they couldn't get to each other. They are under a red light, but I guess now I have to...

    Bully Chick?

    I really do spoil them. There are hanging jingly bell cat toys, boxes with holes and driftwood to climb on/perch on. I have them split up now. I got home and my frizzle had no feathers on her crop:( They are in separate containers now. Both with their own toys. Poor babies. I do have another...

    Bully Chick?

    Bummer:( I went in with snacks this morning to find that my 2 week old chicks seemed to have killed my 3 week old serama chick. I am 99% sure I know the culprit. I have a 2 week old Mille fleur d'uccle Bantam, a black frizzle cochin bantam and the serama. My mille fleur has always been a bit of...

    6 month old Ameraucana and no eggs yet? (pic)

    Quote: Thank you. I guess I have just been spoiled so far and all of my other hens lay on a much more "mommy convenient" schedule (with the exception of my micro serama that I have figured are just physically incapable of it.) I'll just wait...
