My problems just keep coming....
For the last 7 days I’ve noticed all of my goose flock has increased urates, something’s bothering their kidneys.
I’ve also noticed very mild respiratory problems, the occasional head flicking, sounding slightly congested with slightly runny noses in the...
For those that are new to poultry keeping that don’t know what Aspergillosis “asper” is like myself when I started raising ducks and geese, Asper is a highly fatal opportunistic illness caused typically from inhailing spores or less often having them infect a wound... and the spores are...
I have 3 pigeons. Two nest mates who are around 2 months old, the third bird is a 8 month old male. He seems lonely and like he’s looking for a mate (even sporadically attacking the younger two). Should I get him a mate? or should I wait for the other two to get older he can pair with the...
So...I've done my research...and decided to get two budgies! Does anyone here have any extra advice that I should know before getting them? Thx in advance!
Hello,
We plan to process three jakes tomorrow. They are all heritage. We have to buy a hatchet, a bucket, and some ice. This is my first time and we do not have most of the supplies yet, we can’t afford a plucker or the supplies to make a scalding tank. We plan to stick their heads through a...
Hello! I have a rhode Island chicken. I have moved and I cannot keep her with me due to community rules. She needs to be rehomed. Will anyone take her (Please don't eat her). She has been with me for 6 years.
I just learned this today going off of a hunch and I wanted to share this for the chance that it could help someone else.
If your goose or duck is overheating get their webs wet.
Definitly move them to shade or a cooler location and get them some water to drink, preferably with a tub of water...
This thread is for all birdwatchers! What birds do you see around you every day? What birds are your favorite? Seen any rarities recently? I'm wondering how many wild bird lovers we can pull out of hiding!
I live in Idaho. Around me I normally see American Robins, European Starlings...
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!

So, my aunt is rasing Peafowls (peacocks), well I decided I'd like to try. I've never really eaten one, but the eggs are great!
So I have to ask, anyone else have peafowls that they sell or raise? I thought about going into that business now.
I need a new home for my pet mourning dove, 18 weeks, female, hand raised since birth. Chicago area will come with Cage and a bag of food with everything included in cage, best offer^
In all living beings there are certain motivators or drives and I want to share with you what these are and how they affect you and your chickens. I have sorted them into some different groups based on what they affect. I will note that different breeds have been bred to have different levels of...
Long story short: I rescued a baby pigeon that was found on the floor of my barn a few months ago now. Decided to keep the pigeon, as it wouldn't have survival instincts being raised by a human. He does great and has adapted well to indoor life (though I do take him outside with me a lot!)...
I'm Cari.
I am a photographer and the mother of Daisy (black lab), Mr. Kitty, Buddy the parakeet (he showed up on our fence one day), and six laying hens: Dolly, Coconut, Ginger, Cinnamon, Sugar and Pam (from the Office not the spray!) My chick-chicks say "hello"!
Have a great day!
:thumbsup
Hey everyone. So, the strangest thing just happened. We were down the allotments seeing to our hens and newly hatched chicks when a strange bird crashed into the fence?? At first we thought it was a chicken, but it doesn’t appear to have a comb - so we honestly have no clue what it is.
It flew...
A few weeks ago, I went into our barn to get some straw for my geese. I noticed something moving on the floor of the barn - a very young pigeon. Way too young to be out of its nest. As we have stray cats in the area, I didn't want to leave it there to die. The nests were all very high up in the...
Hi! So I was looking around for some dove eggs to incubate, however I couldn’t find any. (I understand some don’t ship it due to how fragile the eggs are) Does anyone have any Dove Eggs they can send over? We are hoping for a basically completely white ringneck dove, or I guess any white dove...
