These two eggs came after we started a mealworms diet, and they almost caused her death, my mom had to literally pull the...

    Putting chicks with a disabled hen?

    My family and I have had a rescued hen that was permanently injured as a chick while she was on the streets. We raised her, and since then we have always considered her a family pet not an animal with an actual purpose. Currently she is in a comfy cage inside the house, and she cannot walk at...

She suddenly started running and tripped, thankfully the floor didn't touch the neck but she fell on one of her paws. There's no blood, twists or...

    New chicken and waterfowl coop ideas?

    I plan on building two coops, one for chickens and one for ducks. I've been googling some ideas but most of them seem to have the wire too thin, which can be very bad for me since there's predators here. We don't have raccoons, foxes, etc. We have mongooses and rats, therefore they can get in...

    Peacocks Anyone?

    So, my aunt is rasing Peafowls (peacocks), well I decided I'd like to try. I've never really eaten one, but the eggs are great! So I have to ask, anyone else have peafowls that they sell or raise? I thought about going into that business now.
