dead bird

My chicken was perfectly healthy. Hawthorne(the chicken) died last night. I can only conclude it was an accident. My dogs love to chase the chickens. But this day, this time, they got a little to close. I inspected the body and it shows that while being chased the dog stepped on the chickens...

Hello All, I have been searching all of Queensland, Australia to find a budgie or cockatiel breeder. If you know of any breeders in Queensland … please let me know.

We were away for the holidays and one of our hens died under our neighbors watch. He put her in our freezer thinking we would prefer not to waste the meat, which is true. We figured we would process her when we returned. So we have an entire bird, feathers and all, that has been in the freezer...

My favorite BC Miran was murdered yesterday. She was about 4 months old I assumed it was a predator but after looking at it it doesn't look like anything ate much of her maybe just the breast. She was literally just ripped apart from her stomach and her body was left intact. Feathers everywhere...

So I have a bit of an issue here. Thursday night/Friday morning at about 3am, I heard my 4 chickens squawking and screaming. I ran outside to find one of them dead in front of the coop (not a lot of blood, maybe her neck was broken? Wasn't able to stop and find out), one totally missing, one...

I am terribly upset from finding pieces of our favorite hen Tweety a couple hours ago. Nothing but her wings are left after an extensive search..she has been m.i.a. for 3 days. A total free range pullet who had a 99.9% fertile egg rate. We have hatched countless offspring from this gentle pet...

Last week we lost a four-year old Silver-Laced Wyandotte during a heatwave. She was acting perfectly normal the morning of the day she died, had been laying consistently, and was eating and drinking well. The pictures here are those that I took during a quick look inside of her. I was mainly...

I have been doing chickens for a couple years. I have always had healthy chickens. This year Fleas in the chicken coop are horrible. The hot Texas heat does not help. I have put down nematodes and those are helping a lot. All of the sudden the chicken will be out in the yard and just fall down...

We have been experiencing a heat wave in Nashville since midweek. Today, our hensitter discovered one of our three four-year-old birds dead in the yard. They have two waterers (a plastic fount and a bucket nipple-waterer). I have also been spraying down the area under the waterer every...

So late last night when we went outside with our dogs to close up the coop, we counted only 5 hens. We have 6. We counted and counted, looked in the usual hiding spots in the garden, in the run, and in the brush. Finally, we saw a sad sight as our Dora; our social butterfly, and animated with...

Well, i've been infatuated with chickens/quails for quite some time after visiting a family friend's house who owns chickens and quails. Anyways this person was giving his quails away, because he's been busy with his other pets, so we decided to take them in. There's five jumbo cortnix...
