    Bumblefoot

    Hello BYC community!! I’m struggling with my chickens. We have 28 chickens and 3 ducks. We clean the coop regularly, have soft bedding, railings for them to get up and down from the roosts and even cleaned out rocks/sticks/debris from the yard. Our birds get bumblefoot roughly every 3 or 4...

    Hello - here's some background on my question: I lost a chicken a couple of weeks ago. After a state lab necropsy, it appears to be cancer, but in the process they also included this note in the interim report: “This hen was negative for Avian influenza and two species of Mycoplasma. A...

    Ducks and Chickens co-existing

    I have no idea why I'm asking this, I don't intend on ever keeping ducks, but I do keep chickens :D They seem to share each other's space quite well. I was wondering: Do ducks, like chickens, have a pecking order for their species? Do ducks and chickens, when they exist in the same space, have...

    Lonely Drake can't find hens

    Hello, I had 3 muscovy ducks and lost them recently. My heart was broken and a friend thought bringing me a drake was a way to cheer me up. I love him however he is alone.

    Mixed flocks

    Who has a mixed flock? Ducks and chickens. I have had chickens for over 3yrs but have ducks coming in June. Now I am reading it is bad to have a mixed flock do to disease. Do need to be concerned? Who is more at risk?, ducks or chickens? Which diseases ?

    Protein treats for ducks?

    I have 6 runner ducks and 5 ISA brown hens, who I spoil very much with small amounts of fresh fruit and veg almost every day. I always check online to make sure that anything I'm planning on letting my flock try is safe for them. Giving them their treats has actually improved my mental health...

    Bipolar English bulldog

    So T-bone is a lovable chunky little guy. Except for when it comes to certain dogs who just don’t rub him the right way or other animals who might scurry across the yard. When we got our first rooster he wanted nothing more than to chew his face off but he could not catch him. Then we had...
