Howdy I have a dumb question but here it is! Are vultures considered predators to chickens? I’ve been seeing em fly over lately they don't attack or anything thou. A few weeks ago 3 of em were circling over my chickens and it made me a bit nervous. We usually only get red tail hawks in our area...

Idk what they look like but I’m going to take a wild guess and say it’s a millipede. I saw them in my coop too and nesting box. Their harmless. Unless they aren’t wrapped like a millipede than I have no clue what you have. I’ve seen em around our yard and basement too.

Yea I actually felt her crop and it was super soft so I think she just might have eaten too much yesterday. I didn’t let her eat for 13 hours and this morning her crop looked perfectly normal yay!

That is one hundred percent a male. I’d be shocked if it wasn’t!

Howdy so I’ve been noticing my female ducks neck doesn’t look so good. I’m thinking impacted crop? She’s laying well eats a lot probably too much, eats grass and her normal grains. What do yall think? And how do I treat it?? I can’t find much on impacted crops for ducks only chickens. From what...

Here’s a picture of my run it’s pretty big sorry there’s crap everywhere right now looks messy! They don’t go in the coop it’s connected to the run thou that side is for the adult hens. So far everyone is doing ok they all look alike so I think they are confused haha😂

Howdy I have some questions about integration! I have a group of 9 week old pullets and 6 week old pullets. They weren’t raised together. How can I integrate them together? Is is the same as introducing them to adults? I know when it’s an older flock it’s a slow process but with the pullets...

Yea I read that article a few weeks back! I’m bringing young pullets into the flock soon so I don’t want them contracting anything. I’m thinking about getting them vaccinated so if they are exposed they’ll be ok. Did you do anything to treat the fowl pox? It seems there’s no cure for it just...

Howdy just seeing what others use to disinfect chicken run/coop? I bought a rooster two weeks ago and unfortunately am giving him back to the previous owner today, he has dry fowl pox. We originally thought it was fungus when we got him but now lesions are turning black, we just can’t risk...

Did you isolate your rooster while they had this? Mine has the same thing currently! Been treating it over a week and have seen no changes😭

So have I! It sucks!

I recently bought a rooster that needed to be rehomed. But after observing him I noticed a few white pimple like spots on his comb. So after research and posting some pictures on here it was concluded it’s Favus(ringworm). So this is the fifth day of treating it I’m using over the counter...

Oh wow I just looked em up he does look like em. Most likely was crossed with some kind of silver Amerucana.

I recently bought a rooster from a nice lady who needed him to be rehomed. He’s an Amerucana for sure but what kind I’m not sure. Any ideas?? He’s like a silver color with a rustic redish/orange running through his wings.
