    I found a baby bird

    So I don't know if this is where to post this, but it is a chick and it doesn't fit squarely into any other category. I found a baby bird on my patio. It's not a chicken, I'm not sure what sort it is. It probably fell from the broken light that birds have tried to make nests for in the past...

    8 Eggs or Less Should be Given to Silky Hens who are Brooding! Gave my hen too many and now she seems injured

    I made the mistake of giving my broody silkie hen 10 eggs to hatch. She now makes the splits sometimes and falls. There was a 100% hatch rate so she had to sit on 10 eggs for the 20 day development period. And I didn't notice she was doing the splits until it was too late. So it's actually...

    Hi all. I just got chicks a week ago and everything was going great but then this afternoon I noticed one of my chicks was walking with her left leg pointing out.

    Hi I really don’t know what to do. I looked around online for resources and I just don’t know where to start. Yesterday a dog bit my chicken ( Pistol) by the head. Luckily I got him to let go and got her out before any more damage could be done. She’s alive and alert. She’s a couple years old (2...

    Swollen earlobe - very worried!

    My cream legbar is at the very bottom of the pecking order and the smallest hen of the bunch. 3 days ago we noticed one of her earlobes was swollen with this weird dark spot in the middle. We can’t tell if it’s getting worse, but it’s definitely not getting better. Is this something to worry...

    My female duck has a spot on her that’s missing feathers and scabbing over. It’s located on the middle of her back under her wings. I found the spot yesterday and photos were taken today. She lives with my drake and they’ve been mating a lot so i’m guessing it’s from him, but i’m not sure! If...

    Ducks Injured Leg/Foot

    I have two ducks, a male, and a female. The male has always had a problem with his leg/foot.. It had gotten better for a while but now it seems worse. He folds his foot under and just drags it (unless he's in a hurry he will put his body weight on the bone above his foot). It looks very painful...
