Hello! My name is Victoria. I have 7 chickens, (two of which are hatching babies!), 3 ducks, 2 baby guineas, a baby turkey and a Canadian goose. I love them and I’m happy to be able to enjoy them with other people!
I have six 1.5 week old d’Uccle chicks. I bought them from the feed store at 1 day old. They're on straw for substrate and eating medicated chick food made into wet mash. Most of them seem very robust and their crops get full and empty pretty normally. I’ve noticed a few gag every once in a...
I have 13 baby ducks Cayuga and anacona that I am looking to sell. Any ideas of where I can sell them? Not sure what the rules are for shipping them either
Could really use the help! I was brooding a couple of hens and our first chick hatched today! I went to the feed store to get starter but they won't have any for 2 more days. Looked everywhere and couldn't find any. I know I should've definitely not waited until the chick was born, but here we...
Hi all.
3-4 days til hatch. The air cell is way too small due to high humidity. I mean way too small. There is movement inside the two eggs (kicking and jerky movements) when candling. These are mandarin duck eggs. The air cell is probably half of what is should be, I know that the temp was...
My two month old roo has been acting very strange recently, he’s been shaking/trembling mostly in his behind and legs, lying down frequently, and hasn’t been roosting with the others. I’m very worried about him! This is the first time this has ever happened and any help is very much appreciated
I try to handle my chicks multiple times a day every day but the little featherheads still don’t seem to trust me! I’ve had them about 2 weeks. How long do baby chicks stay wary of their humans? I want to love on them but don’t want them to have baby chick heart attacks!
Hey all! I am currently rehabbing a baby Starling. I would really love to have some more of them as they make great pets! I live in Nashville Tennessee, but would be willing to travel a little to find some! Any leads would be appreciated!
Hello,
First post here, thanks for having me! We are new to keeping chickens. We had a hen show up (we think from the neighbors) one day and she comes and goes at will. A friend gave a us a rooster that is clipped so he hangs out in our very large fenced back yard. Then hen was staying at night...
I have no information on the breeds, some guy gave these 2 chicks away to me. I’m only familiar with Orpington’s and brahmas. I don’t know what bread these could be anyone have any ideas? Thank you
Rescued these pullets from a friend’s relative, but they have no idea what they are. What breed would you say they were? I have only Silkies, so they definitely look a bit different from those! Also, could anyone guess the age of them too?
Hi all! I have a 2 week old ISA Brown who has some dried blood above her eye, it looks like the others were pecking at her. I don't see much of an open wound. I have separated her but do not have any saline or rubbing alcohol to cleanse it with. I read the area should be cleaned before applying...
Hey everyone! This is my first post. I picked my chicks up yesterday, they had been born earlier that morning. I got them home and they seem happy but I can’t get them to drink anything! They’re eating a couple crumbs everything 6 or so hours that are laid out on a paper towel near the feeder...
I would really like more information on these bumps and maybe a "how to treat at home" guide because of the virus, everything is really hard to get to so I dont know if a vet is a possibility but if I have to bring her in. I will! They are two relatively small bald bumps on her back. I think...
I recently acquired a single duck... it’s a long story but basically a store closed and the conditions it was in were terrible! She would go hours without water and was stuck with TONS of chickens in such a small brooder. She’s very young still- can’t be much more than a week. However, I’ve only...
today i went to rural king and got a couple chicks. the first one was labeled “bantam”. the yellow one had no label. if anyone would help be determine the breeds it would be very appreciated
I found This "nest" (hole in the ground under a piece of metal) with 3 baby mice only a couple days old still pinkies. I don't know what to feed them I live 1 hour away from the store and I need something to feed them don't have any goats milk or kitten milk replacer I need help I'm afraid they...
Alright guys I need some help! One of our chicks got hurt last night and I’m not sure how. I think she may have shoved her head through the chicken wire of their coop and injured herself pulling it out but it’s just a theory. Anyway, this happened a little over 24 hours ago. I’ve got her inside...
