    Is this normal behavior?

    Hello! Just received our little ducklings this morning and we are wondering if this is normal duck stuff. In particular we are wondering about our magpie. She has been stamping her feet and pecking at them quite a bit since we got her. She also keeps looking up and silently chirping. (If that...

    I have Snowflake quail chicks that are just hatching. One has already died and we brushed it off as it getting too cold because the power went out and he got disoriented, kept flipping over and died while I was trying to figure out a brace kind of thing that helps reorentate wobbly chicks. Now...

    Deworming a weak chicken

    I own three hens who are around 3 years old, and I usually let them roam the backyard. About 1-2 weeks ago, I noted that one of my hens had a very pale comb. However, I attributed that to the extreme heat of our summers. But after lifting her up, I realised that she has significantly lost...

    Limping duck, I don't know what to do

    About 10 days ago, out of the blue, my 1.5 year old Swedish blue hen started limping & didn't want to put much weight on her right leg. I did a quick bumblefoot inspection & didn't see anything alarming. I've never dealt with bumblefoot before, but after lurking here for a few years, I do think...

    My juvie pooped a rock?

    One of our Black Australorp juvies (~17-18 weeks) pooped a weird poop next to me this morning, conveniently on the bench I was sitting with my coffee of course but that means I did get to see it. She pooped what seems to be a yellow rock? Maybe a calcium deposit? It is completely solid, can't...

    Rooster dark berry red/purple comb tips. Is it a bad sign?

    I have a Rooster named Ares; alpha of the flock and pretty beefy. I question why sometimes his comb is a bright vivid red yet other times his comb has some dark berry red, slightly purple tips and feels pretty cold. I live in Florida which is not known for chilly weather, and he eats pretty...
