We live in Willington CT and let our chickens free range in our yard. Today we came home and it seems that someone dropped off a chicken in our yard. Any guidance of what we should do will be greatly appreciated. We could support another chicken but we are afraid it is a rooster and if someone...
A muscovy (I think) appeared at our school in Santa Ana last week. She seems comfortable around people, so I think someone dropped her off. I would like to send her to a good home for the holidays! Please help!
Thank you so much.
Hi all, someone has abandoned two roosters near our apartment complex in Meridian Township. You are not allowed to have roosters per ordinance so I'm guessing instead of doing the responsible thing they just dumped the roosters. It's getting very cold and I've been trying to feed the roosters...
My family and I were camping this weekend. There was a gosling (I'd say about 3 months) that walked back and forth along the weeds for 2 hours and no mamma. It was getting dark and a friend said it probably won't make the night by itself so my girls and I got and and put it in a dog kennel...
Hi ! I rescued an abandoned chick that was on the curb yesterday. I took her (or him) to a vet that said she was 4-5 days old and has nasty infection in her eyes (they were swollen shut and crusted over). I have been cleaning them and applying an ointment and she looks way better already, is...
My Muscovy hen was sitting on a clutch of eggs for about 2 to 3 weeks but as of a few days ago she has stopped laying on the eggs. It is below freezing here and the formerly toasty eggs are cold. Worth noting, the Bronze Turkey Hen she shares a stall with also used to sit on the eggs and she...
Long story but here’s the short version (even though it’s still long).
One of our mama Pekings went broody crazy, laying on 22 eggs. 6 were broken into, 8 were duds, 10 were moved with Mama away from everyone. Four hatched under her, 6 left, 2 had stopped after the nest raid and move, leaving 4...

Hi, I'm really hoping someone here can help me with some much needed info. I live in Miami, Fl and have a situation with Muscovy baby ducklings that are in danger. Of course no Wildlife rescue group will help me since they are not protected here. So Mama duck and her 12 ducklings (approx. 5-6...
hello, im new and I'm having an issue with a baby duckling. I got it eailer because sadly the mom was hit by a car along with one if her other babies. I'm not sure if it's a male or female nor its breed, but its still a baby. I'm only having one issue with it though... several minutes after I...
Hi, Everyone,
I live on a small hobby farm on a lake, so we are used to seeing tons of ducks and geese. I don't feed them; we just enjoy seeing them from afar and let them be. But, yesterday a seemingly disoriented duck wandered onto my driveway and just wouldn't leave. She seemed out of it, so...
