I have my baby chicken, Button, a blue splash silkie I rescued from a rural king supply, who I thought had just a injured wing and had lost hope, but turns out she has other complications. I, myself, thought this would all be easily handled. Wrap her leg, flatten...
Long story short after 3 years I got my silkie back from my friend. She not looking to well, she was fine the first week but now her breathing is off. If she’s take a few step she fall down flap wings gasp for air (in my many year owing birds, this is normally the sign they are going to die) but...
I am in need of re-homing my 4 year old drake. He has become overly aggressive to 1 of the 3 females we have for him. In February we got him 2 new females to try and cull his enthusiasm and shortly after his life long partner passed away.
Since then we got him a third female. we had a second...
so I have a new momma hen with three 3 week old chicks and I’ve separated them into a dog kennel from the rest of the flock. I’ve been letting them out to stretch their legs and wings but the rest of the flock peck at all of them. They pull feathers out from mom and peck at the chicks and...
This is my first time hatching eggs. I had my humidity way too high for the beginning of incubation due to my incubator humidity percentage reading way lower than it actually was. It wasn’t until about day 12 that I realized the humidity was WAY too high. I quickly emptied the incubator of all...
I’m a new chicken keeper and our chickens had seemed fine. Later on we got two more (well summers) one of the well summers died unexpectedly. We also got two of the same birds which one of them was disabled and passed away while the other got sick mysteriously and passed away recently. We got...
SOS!! My paint silkie is pooping completely uncontrollably. It smells horrendous and I’m genuinely concerned for her heath. Her breathing is labored, and she overall just looks sickly. Her head is down and tucked into her shoulders, and she’s silent. A few days ago, her poo was watery with...
This poor Welsummer has shown up again. Similar to the last case I've had with randos in my yard, she has few feathers and signs of Bumblefoot. I haven't named her yet. She is a pretty bird and she stuffed silly on feed. Any ideas on help I can give. Will provide pics as soon as possible. She is...
Last satuday, my husband found one of the baby chicks abandoned by its mom. We have a few chickens (we live in Haiti) and we aren't sure why the mom abandoned it. It was very comfortable with us holding it. We started trying to feed it and give it water. It didn't really want to eat the bird...
We found a baby chick around 6 weeks back lying on the road and brought her back home. She (her name is Tooki) might be of the broiler breed. Not sure. But now for the past 5 days she has suddenly gotten very sick and stopped moving around. We had purchased a baby chick (Brownie) so that Tooki...
My family and I have recently saved an abandoned baby chick around where we live. We been feeding it oatmeal and hard boiled eggs while waiting for chicken feed to arrive. Just recently noticed a bald spot near his chest. Also his crop or belly is hard! Please help I don’t know if these things...
Hello, My name is Sarah. I'm new of course.. I was wondering if there are anyone selling/Breeding Ocellated Turkeys. I know they are very costly, and know they also need to be in a Very warm climate. I have been wanting these forever But I live in Northern Minnesota. I also realize how difficult...
I have a single bird of 4 backyard chickens that has come down with some weird sores. I’ve raised them from chicks and they are 2. I’ve dealt with a few black spots on combs before but this seems worse. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Everyone! I am new here and this site was recommended to me to help find someone honest, kind and experienced with building chicken coops. I had one started but it has been a nightmare. The person that I hired didn't make the coop the way that was agreed upon. Let him know what I wanted...
Hi guys, please please let me know if my Indian runner duck eggs are developing properly in the egg!!! I candled them just now and it’s day 24. I have had the temperature at 99.5F and humidity between 40-45% throughout their incubation period. I’m in Canada so it’s a lot chilly here.
I will...
We have a big hawk problem going on right now! We have had chickens for about a year now and we have never lost a chicken to any predator until recently. We just hatched 9 chicks from a broody hen and that is what started attracting this hawk. He is huge and is probably big enough to catch our...
Morning,
My husband found 2 Ducklings in a ditch as he was working on the train line, so we have taken them in. They seem to have come good, eating etc. Except this morning one of the ducklings is really wobbly on its feet. like its been hit in the head.. What should I do? What is the best...
ive recently taken in a young hen from a nearby breeder who had somehow gotten string from a tarp wrapped around her foot. It got wrapped when she was young and has grown into here skin and I’m pretty sure bone. It’s around 1 toe but she’s a silkie so her feet aren’t exactly the most pristine...
