I went outside around 45 minutes ago to go lock up my chickens, ducks, and geese. However, I didn't see my geese anywhere in the fence. I locked up everyone else, and then I seen the geese over near the far end of the fence. My female, Sniper, was laying down, and my gander was watching over...

So, my flock lives at a friend's home and she called me 2 weeks ago to let me know that one of my roosters was limping pretty badly. I went out to look at him and he let me catch him pretty easily (unusual) and was walking with one of his legs held mostly out in front of him. I brought him...

So I've got 3 of the Americana Easter Eggers and I had a question regarding their leg colors. Two of them have that slate blue/greenish color, while the other has orange legs. What does this mean? Any indication of egg laying color? They turn two weeks old tomorrow. The orange legged one is...

You may remember me from the drooling duck that we wound up having to tube feed after an animal attack (she's doing great now, thanks for all your help!). We thought we had their area secured but found out otherwise when they were attacked again. This time they were found before we lost...

Just notice one of my buff orpington hens limping. I went to go check her out and she doesn't have as much energy as normal. I also did not see any cuts or bruises on her feet or leg. What could be wrong? She seemed fine this morning. I thought chickens tried to hide theor injuries and sicknesses?

Is there a way to know if a red-legged partridge is male or female without DNA analysis?

Hi guys.. really need some help and advice. I have been raising an abandoned chick around 3 weeks of age. She was abandoned by her mother and I couldn't leave her alone. I live in Singapore and the only chickens we even have around here are wild junglefowl. Tracking down chicken feed proved to...

Hey everyone! I noticed that my chick seemed to be huddled in a corner and I saw that she was being pecked by other chickens. Her feathers looked fluffed up, as if she was trying to keep warm. I took her inside for a few hours to both feed and keep her warm. Upon further inspection, I saw that...

I have 2 female pekin ducks that are about 3 years old. I noticed last night that my one duck couldn't stand on her leg and was using her wing to pull herself out of hiding. She was filthy from playing in the mud so I took her inside and put her in the bathtub. She cleaned and preened and...

My sweet Coturnix quail is suddenly limping on one foot. I examined it and found nothing abnormal except that one of the nails on her unused foot is backwards. It’s just the claw part, not the foot. I’m not sure if it was like that before, but she’s really pitiful right now and I’m not sure how...

About two months back, I acquired 6 chickens and 3 ducks. I originally went to purchase only 5 chickens, but after taking an interest in a chicken that seemed to be having trouble walking, the seller decided to let me throw her into the bundle too, on the logic that she might be happier with...

My 8 week old Buff Orpington chick has been limping just today. She has been reluctant to put much weight on it, but she has still been hopping around, eating, drinking, pooping all normal. She has been active with the rest of the flock and even on the low roost. I'm not aware of any injury...
