So I had two emus eggs, one of them already hatched and it’s doing good. Now the other one cracked a whole on the egg on the 55th day but it hasn’t break the egg and come out. Still breathing and opening its eyes. It’s been over 5 hours since the emu broke the egg and still there. Could emu be...
Hello, thank you for reading!
My polish chicken Jolene, about 2 years old, was standing with her tail down and acting lethargic so I brought her inside. Thought she just needed a haircut, but it didn’t help.
Inside I noticed she was pooping watery/mucousy textured diarrhea, yellow/faintly...
I have 8 hens and a rooster. My flock has always been super close, sticking together and keeping a peaceful order. The rooster has favored the Silver Laced Wyandottes the most. In recent weeks, we have been noticing INTENSE mating behavior with one of the Wyandottes. He will mate her again...
Good day to everyone!
In the attached links, is my baby chick.
Since yesterday, I felt something off with it. And today, it started doing this grasping for air motion like once every 15 seconds.
I've taking good care of it, feeding it according to a veterinarian. And it's been with me for 4...
I'm wondering if any more experienced duck folk could tell me what these guys are doing?
This is a google drive link to the video (It wouldn't upload it here, sorry) [video link]
From my perspective it seems like they're anxious and frantically looking in multiple directions back and forth...
I just woke up and I went to release the chickens however I notice this little one looking sick. She wasn’t like this yesterday. Her poops are runny and yellow like this and she has just made a few. She is very sleepy but only standing up. On top of this when I grab her and place her somewhere...
Unfortunately my male quail is very unwell. This has happened all of a sudden as he was fine midday but nearer evening time he became very sleepy, tired, keeps shutting eyes, lump near throat area. Not eating or drinking, blood a few times in poo. Very slight redness around backside. I’m...
Hey all,
This is our third time getting chicks and have never experienced anything like this.
We got new chicks last Friday, a couple of days ago we separated a chick out because her toe was bent out and we needed to splint it until it had time to heal (the other chicks wouldn't leave the...
My rooster Andy is a big sweetheart. He was 'not to often' with his ladies when it came to topping them. There were no injuries or feather issues. Well, then I had to move back in with my dad. He has a pen with a rooster and hens, and then a separate but connected pen for a pair of game chickens...
Hello everyone! Recently I got two ducks- Nemo and Bella, both around three weeks old. I’ve been feeding them correctly but they have stopped eating their duck food and will only eat peas and lettuce or other vegetables and fruits. It has only happened this past two days but I can’t help but...
Hi everyone I have a bit of emergency and could use some advice !
I have a nearly 4 year old Cochin chicken with what appears to be a prolapse vent from laying an egg that was to large (look at picture below for egg) for her.
Note this is her first egg after going through a molt
Two days ago...
Smidge went MIA last night when everyone else went to bed. She made her way to the coop sometime during the night, my daughter also heard a commotion coming from the coop sometime in the night. This morning Smidge was back but unable to stand/walk. She won't eat/drink either.
Not sure what is...
Hey guys!!! I was at my local north 40 and I saw these chickens that they will have available soon. One day green egger and the other says olive. I was wondering what the difference is other than the look of the chicken!
I am looking to add a second olive egger to the flock that lays a deep...
So, this is my first time hatching quail with an incubator. I had only two broody hens before, so I'm not completely new to the game.
My eggs are on day 17 now, and so far everything went good, chicks developed great and the first ones started to pip the shell yesterday afternoon.
However , I...
Hi guys—
I have a flock w roundworms. One pullet is not well off. Bad case.
I have safeguard for dogs (powder form) and I want to be sure I have the correct dosage. Most forums are for the liquid form so I don’t wanna be too far off.
I have read 20-50 mg (per pound??? I’m not sure) for first...
Does anyone have any idea what food would be best to feed hens to extend their life? I don't care as much about getting eggs as I do for them simply being pets. I of course want them to be healthy, however I learned about Matilda the chicken that lived to be 16 years old, and based on all the...

I just spotted some redness around one of the females ears. Had a peak behind the feathers and to my surprise she has an ear infection. It seems to be early(ish) stages but there is a bump or two. Seems painful for a small little birdy :( how can I help her?! (She’s 8 months old :), has two...
Today I had an ultrasound done on my hen and found out she has stomach cancer which they believe has spread from her reproductive system. Does anybody have any remedies or success on treating/curing this? I've read about success in humans from baking soda water, and some from fenbendazole, but...
