    Day old chick can’t walk

    Hi friends! I got day old chicks today from my local farm store. All of the chickens but one is fine. They’re all active, eating and drinking, but I have one light Brahma who cannot walk, and won’t eat or drink. She chirps, but nothing else. When I first put her in the brooder, she would kind of...

    Hi guys we now have a 100% confirmation on our baby being a roo.

    Hi everyone Two days ago I found this precious chicken on the road. Someone told me that it was there for several hours in the rainy day. I took it home and then I realised that obviously she was super hungry but she cannot "aim" for her food. Her head is shaking like someone with Parkinson...

    When can I let my goslings free-range unsupervised?

    My geese are almost 10 weeks old. They are both White Chinese geese. They have their own run and coop that they have access to all day long. At night, we lock them up in their coop since they are still young and we’d be worried if something might snatch them up during the night if they had...
