    Stickers!

    Has anyone had issues with their free range chickens when it comes to grass stickers/burrs/goat heads? I live in Texas and every yard has some sort of sticker down here. I haven’t allowed my chickens out their run yet because I’m concerned that they’ll get hurt walking in the grass. Has anyone...

    Duckling in pain?

    Why do my ducklings let out a little screech and then jump? Sometimes they’ll be laying there and I’ll hear a little “yell” and then they hop as if they were poked with a pin. Then they just get comfortable again and go out with their day. Is that normal? Are can they be in pain?

    Ducklings hurting each other

    Why do my ducklings bite each other? At first, it was only one duckling biting the other duckings foot and pulling on it like she was trying to hurt her. Then the other duckling started doing similar things. Every once in a while one of them will bite the other in the eye and the other will squeal.

Than it pulls its wing violently; so hard that it trips and falls! It screams in agony while it does this😕. Is there anything I can do...

    Injured Hen Won't Eat

    Long story short, last week a raccoon killed my flock of bantams. Two survivors were injured. The one I'm calling Glory for right now had her head chomped on. Her whole face was a grotesque, mauled mass of blood and meat. Her beak was off center and her tongue hung out. I've done everything I...

    Sick or Hurt Hen

    My Isa is my baby. It was a shock to go outside today and find her unable to stand, last night at about 11pm she was perfectly fine. I found no injuries, but she sometimes squeezes her eyes shut like she's in pain. She keeps her legs tucked underneath of her. If I make her stand normally, she...

    I have a polish rooster that ended up fighting with the other rooster recently and one roo just has plucked feathers off his head making him just look very funny but he’s fine.

    Hen with dead looking wattle?

    I have this hen that I received about a month and a half ago. Today I noticed one of her wattles looks sort of bad. Maybe bruised? I did introduce her to the flock a few days ago, but it doesn't seem fresh. Never seen this before, not even on the other hens that were introduced. Thoughts?

    not bumblefoot? Sprain? Treatment??

    I just lost one of my babies to sour crop so I really want to make sure I take care of this one! She is limping, not putting weight on her left foot. It is a bit swollen though there is no clear wound. I'm assuming this is bumble foot? I soaked her foot for 15 mns in epsom salts and then...

    My guinea pig Timtam has spurs growing on her feet. I was cutting one off, all good. I cut the other off, and as I am doing it she pulls back her leg and tears the skin. She is bleeding but not much. I put her with some towels for a floor and hideys in the laundry sink with some food. I am...
