I was wondering if anyone else has a cushings dog, and if anyone who does might want to join a thread discussing our common experiences. I have a 5 year old French bulldog that they have finally diagnosed with cushings. He got a false negative on the first test, then they found nothing from the...

I guess maybe 2 years ago I started building an aviary out of a broken greenhouse. I had previously had quail but we had a bad flood and some new predators followed the creek into our neighborhood when the river went crazy, and I lost almost all of the quail. Anyway, I had hatched midget white...

My dog recently rolled in something on a walk and developed 3 small bumps on his back that seemed like mosquito bites, long story short they stayed the same for 2+weeks, then suddenly erupted into an angry, weepy rash and I ended up shaving the area and treating for mites and parasites. I...

Hi everyone, I’ve been out of touch for a few months. I have 3 midget white turkeys, about 8-9 months old, I’m wondering if they are good flyers? I have a 30-40 foot branch dangling over my aviary, and I was afraid it would fall and hit the turkeys. The tree is on public land in the town next...

I hatched 5 chicks, they’ll be 6 weeks tomorrow. I’ve had issues with one getting aggressive that I posted about. I wanted to cull him, so I asked everyone if they thought he was male. I culled him. Now, about 3 days later, I walked into the room for a harmony of crowing attempts! They’re all...

I just hatched 8 chicks, barnyard mix from a friend, check out this guy he was hatched with an eyepatch! So cute:

This is a barnyard mix, mostly Cochin. Up until a few days ago everything was fine and I had no trouble waiting a couple months to know for sure, but this one Maple, has started viciously attacking me when I change the food and water and play with them. I accept that, but last night he viciously...

My little fluffs are growing so fast! They’re about 2 and a half weeks old now, here are some current pics: Ginger- my fave: Sour Jowls- Misty- Maple (my least favorite) - Coal-

I have 5 barnyard mix chicks. I received eggs from a friend, they have Cochin genes, as well as maybe serama as well as silky. This one is Ginger, and it’s my favorite, but “she’s” (wishful thinking) the largest, and usually the most quarrelsome and is often the main chest bumper. She also...

Normally I keep quail, but currently I just have 3 turkeys. I had ordered meat chicken hatching eggs and only 3 of 19 hatched, 5 had been smashed and scrambled in shipping and the box was beat up. One chicken ended up dying early on for seemingly no reason which I hear isn’t unusual for Cornish...

I have a few midget white turkey poults that I am growing out for the freezer, but I plan to keep a few (2-3) through the winter in hopes they will lay eggs that I can hatch for more next year. I have an aviary I am finishing up that is a former greenhouse that I removed the plastic tent part...

I ordered hatching eggs from eBay and recently hatched 4 turkey chicks that are supposed to be midget whites. 3 out of 4 have light dusty red on their heads and shoulders, and a more generally pale pale beige all over their body, one is solid pale yellow as I expected them to look. The 3 colored...

Hi there, I’m looking to buy 6-12 midget white turkey hatching eggs, I’m in central NJ, pickup or shipping is fine.

I just ordered my first chicken hatching eggs. I’ve raised quail for meat and eggs for a couple years now, and with all the talk about food shortages I wanted to be sure I’ll have some chicken in the freezer. I’m not a huge fan of quail meat, my son loves it, so do my dogs lol, and all of our...

I have 1 male/4 female darth Vader buttons living together as a group since they hatched. They lay well and the eggs have great fertility. I’m just not enjoying buttons like I expected, so I’m getting rid of the buttons, if anyone wants my darth breeder group, I’m asking $20 for all 5. I’ve...

The current chicks are all cinnamon red breasted. From the front and top, typical hen: But then there’s this: I’ve read that red at the vent means male no matter what, but she really looks like a hen in all other ways, and the orange at the tail looks more like an extension of the back...

One of the cinnamon Coturnix hatched, theres one more that looks like it might hatch. My reship was sent today, but I’d like to save this chick if possible. I’ve never had a chick with something like this survive, normally I cull when they start to go downhill. The lump is firm, not hard or...

We used to have hamsters, and often, we would take out the hamsters in the evening and play with them as a family, but as hamsters do, they got older and passed at 2-2.5 years which is pretty good for a ham. We’ve been without a small caged mammal for 2 years or so, and I had my blind quail in...

I’m tossing this up here in case anyone in central NJ has been looking for button darth Vaders. I have a couple male darths, a solid white, and several younger cinnamon darths. Send me a dm if interested, I’m posting here first, tomorrow on CL, and I’ll only have them until Sunday, because any...
