So. Tonight, right at dusk, we had a solo white (we believe a female) Turkey showed up on our gravel driveway. Thing is, we are hidden, at least 100 yards from the main road. My son, curious, went out to see why my dog was going out of his mind. Sure enough, this Turkey is just standing there...
Yesterday I bought 2 pairs of Damascene pigeons from an auction. I got back home well after dark so I left them in the small container they were in for the night. This morning I went to move them to a larger cage because they couldn’t spend the quarantine period in the small cage they came in...
Hi I have 6 hens all about 12 weeks old. They have been doing really well about learning to go into their coop at night. At first they just slept on the floor of the coop so I started helping them up on the roosts at night and they learned that pretty quickly as well. For the past few nights...
Well the thing I was worried about happening happened. My ducks were able to get through the fence and they found the creek. After work today I saw their footprints in the sand down by the bank. How likely do you think it is that they'll find their way back? I walked down stream both...
So unfortunately, our mama hen seems to be a bit neglectful ... We let her and the babies run around the yard (3 acres) while we cleaned the coop. We had to clean it pretty good because we found 2 chicks trampled over night ... They're less than a month old and she takes care of them but I've...
Hey y’all! Just recently lost my male quail. He flew out of the coop while feeding leaving my female quail lonely. I’m scared she’s gonna die without a partner, she’s so sad and has barely eaten the past two days. If anyone knows where in colorado I can maybe get another quail partner or a...

Never thought this would happen to me but 3 days ago one of my hens ran away from home. I went looking for her and she was at the end of my street on the wall. A loud noise startled her and she jumped off the wall.
Unfortunately, on the other side of the wall is a 30 foot drop (around 9 metres)...
How many total chickens have you/currently have and how many chickens have you lost to illness or predators? Don't include chickens slaughtered for meat, please. That is a controlled kill. We have owned a total of 24 chickens, We have lost 7 to predators and 2 to illnesses. Our ratio sucks. To...
Today I didn't do hardly anything with the chickens since I had done all the chores yesterday. All I did was take in the eggs and made sure they had food/water.
Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to how many chickens were actually out there.
When I went out to shut them in the coop after...
4 months ago my cat brought in a baby mallard duckling only a few days old, it was very late at night at we assumed she was abandoned so we kept her (she was unharmed)
She grew up healthy and attached to me and my two cats (she bosses them around!), staying with me at all times and sleeping in...
Ok, so we saw a Facebook post saying there were two lost chickens in with a bunch of condos. Since we are somewhat experienced with dealing with chickens and have a lot, we figured we needed to do something. One of them was easy to pick up but the other was in a panic, took 15mins to grab it...
Today, one of my silkies managed to find a way out of her pen (will be fixing that before they go back in it.) And seems to have been missing for a while. We have hawks and eagles, as well as foxes and other predators and have been searching for a while now with no luck of finding her. She is a...
One evening, I stupidly opened the coop door a bit while it was outside, to refill water. Kelsey, probably the fastest bird in the world, got out. Couldn't find where she went.
"What the..."
Three months later, she came back!! I have no idea how she found me. I found her under the patio...
I left my four quail chicks that are 2 days old in my brooder and when I came back an hour later, they were dead. I though maybe they suffocated since the room was super, super warm. I tried cpr, but the air I breathed into their mouth only reached some bubble above their shoulder and would not...
I dont know the breed of my 5 week old chickens but i think they are black copper marans but one of my 4 marans looks like a rooster. Its comb is much larger than the other chickens and its tail feathers stand higher up. Help me.
I had a 10 week old Faverolle pullet go missing around 15 hours ago. I've looked and looked, but haven't been able to find her. She went missing at dusk, it is now almost noon. I have woods very close to me, and they go on for miles. She had been in the coop and run for about 5 weeks now. She's...
Hi everyone,
I stumbled across this website and hopefully I can get some help on what to do. We recently found a chicken in our backyard a few days ago - we’ve been feeding it and giving it water, checking up on it every few times or so. We do live right next to a farm however it’s a vegetable...
earlier today when I walked outside I noticed our gate was wide open (16 feet wide btw), so I closed it and started trying to find my old English game bantam (stickers) and I couldn't find her anywhere, she has walked out of the gate when it was open before but has never gone past the herb...
