I know of a neighborhood that has a huge gated (4 ft) public property with many trees, bushes, grass and pond and is home to well over a hundred ducks of various breeds. I also saw a number of different breeds of geese. Beautiful and peaceful. I assume they forage for food and eat from the...

Hi everyone. A few hours ago, a family member found a raven lying in a driveway. It was apathetic and didn’t seem to be able to lift its head. I ended up with it for the night. He can fly, although not for a long distance. Both legs are moving but one seems to be having muscle spasms. He...

Hello everyone! :) I love to share my photography with anyone and everyone, so I thought making my own thread here would be a good place to do just that. I don't use any professional equipment or anything, just my phone and a little basic editing, but to me, sometimes less is more. :p There's...

Today I got a call for help from a family member who had found a baby mouse during a storm, she left it out overnight in a sheltered area hoping mum would come get him- she did not. In the morning my aunt put him in a little tub in the shed, and put a blanket in with him and some veg. After...

I signed up to volunteer with baby birds this spring at a wildlife center and I'm wondering if they could spread anything to my chickens because I definitely don't want that. What should I do

Hi there! I am soo glad that I have finally joined BYC. I have used valuable information off of BYC for over 3 years for my wildlife rescue center in South Africa. I take in wild bird’s eggs all the time and need advice on homemade incubators and hatching eggs every now and again. I also want to...

So, in the woods close to my house there are all these ponds. There were 9 little ducklings with their mom there for a while. However, for a couple days now, the mom is no where to be seen. The ducklings are still quite small, they are downy and only about the size if a fist. There are also a...

Hi! Two days ago a wild duckling showed up in our literal doorstep (we live in the country) but we can't get him to eat, I have read a lot of threads on the site but was wondering if maybe giving specifics and identifying the duck would help in taking care of him? I've made a brood box and he...

Hi yall! In Independence, KY & planning for a flock sometime later this year or next. Trying to get infrastructure in place first -- greenhouse, garden with raised beds, temporary or permanent netting to protect garden (probably poultry netting so it can be dual purpose later on when we do have...

Hello, yesterday I found a bird on the ground near the highway. He was using his wings to propel himself along the ground, squaking and very much alive. His legs are splayed out and useless behind him. I put him in a box with holes in it, gave him some water and put him in a dark room. I called...

Greetings fellow Chicken lovers, (besides the eggs and meat benefits...), Our family lives on a small acreage, in the land of 10,000 oversized mud puddles (mistakenly referred to as “lakes”), vampires with wings and stingers (muscle for the Mosquito cartel, mistakenly called "nuisance bugs" by...
