    Why do my ducks have peeling bills?

    My ducks beaks are peaking n it’s getting worse it seems. Is this normal? I feed them regular duck pellets but they don’t seem interested in eating much anymore. I blame myself because I ran out of food for a month so I had to feed them stuff like lettuce, carrots, rice, etc so they didn’t...

    What’s wrong with my Royal Palm?!

    There’s nothing physically wrong with her feet or legs. No bumble foot or wounds. Bought her recently, and noticed strange behavior. Walks off balance, stiff like. Appetite is good. Otherwise healthy bird.

    Need advice on bumblefoot

    A few days ago, I discovered my favorite chicken, a 5-year-old female buff Orpington, has bumblefoot on both her feet (stage 3 or 4). I don’t think her feet are swollen, but she has 2 dark scabs. I’ve noticed she walks a little weird sometimes and might be sleeping a little more than usual...

    HOW MANY DANG COCKS DO I HAVE?

So he is estimated to be about nine to tenish months old now. I was worried he was going to be aggressive but he was actually more curious and...
