So I just got two Jacobin Squabs, 3-4 months old. They are my first Pigeons, they arrived via post office yesterday. Are there any tricks to making sure they eat and drink? Also how cold can they go down to? It's in the teens and single digits here right now =/ I feel bad for them, but I have...

Hi there, i'm getting a pair of Jacobin squabs =) These will be my first pigeons, and any advice is appreciated! What do they eat? Should I bother buying a pre-made feed or can I mix my own? The feed store near me has a bunch of bulk seeds. What can they or can't they eat? What i their lifespan...
I just got this hen today, not sure what breed she is =/ probably a mix but anyone have guesses? I guess she lays blue eggs, she has a beard/muffs, blue feathered legs, and 4 toes. She's a pretty color too =) and SUCH a sweetheart!
So I have had a rescued rooster for about a month now. He had really bad leg mites and he has, what I thought, was a respiratory issue. His comb turns purple and he occasionally open mouth breathes. I have tried tylan, vetrx, natural herbs and spices (oregano and ginger) and now he's on...
I have a dozen hatching eggs available! Need gone now or they won't be any good! Asking $10 for the dozen. I'm located in Weare, NH. I can't ship right now.
Okay so I have an eye issue with my silkie hen. She has had a bubble on her left eye for almost a month(possibly longer but that's when I noticed it). The first week I noticed it I gave her duramycin in her water, neo-poly-bac eye ointment, and a tylan eye flush. It didn't work, her eye hasn't...
I just got this little ball of poof yesterday, how does she look? I would like to enter her in shows this year with the rest of my show chickens if she will do well. She is around 3-4 months old
I am going to get some hatching eggs from some kind of duck, but I don't know which =/ I want a good forager that I can keep with my chickens without too much mess, also must be a good egg layer. Any suggestions and why?
My polish rooster seems to have double sickle feathers???? Rather than having one in the middle, he has two that go out to the sides? Has anyone ever heard of this?
I found this turkey poult today, momma got spooked and this one got left behind. Momma is nowhere to be found so I guess he's staying with me and my chickens. Also, is there any way to determine sex? How old does it look?
I have a very cute blue wheaten pure ameraucana cockerel, 7 weeks old and very nice! Would make a great addition to a breeding program, or just a nice flock protector. I am in the Concord, NH area, will meet in the area.
I have noticed some of my chickens going the open mouthed gaping yawn thing associated with gape worm. I have seen them do it when they are stressed, but now they are doing it while they are just out in the coop chilling. What do I check for when I look in their throats? I didn't see anything...
Need help and some advice =( Has anyone dealt with a week and a half old chick with bumblefoot? I just got Cleopatra yesterday, she's an Egyptian Fayoumi. I was holding her and I noticed she has what looks like bumblefoot. The woman said she was keeping her on a wire floored brooder and someone...
Are Egytpian Fayoumi's showable? I just bought a little pullet, and I was wondering 1) if she is good quality and 2) are Fayoumi's even showable in the US? She is only 1.5 weeks old, but do any Fayoumi experts out there have any opinions?
Hoping I can get a quick response here. This is for a rabbit but hoping someone can convert it for me. The dosage is 10 mg/kg or 4.5 mg/lb, I have a syringe but it only shows ml! How much do I give?
Anyone here know about treating abscesses in bunnies? My friend just got a young buck and he is in horrible condition, his eyes are infected, he has an abscess, his nose is gross, and he's completely matted. I am going to go over tomorrow and take a look at him. I am planning on lancing the...
so I have a silkie hen, she hasn't layed an egg in a few days, probably 3 or 4 now. I can feel it inside her, but it feels sideways? In pictures of chicken anatomy online it looks like the ovaduct is above the vent but the egg is below it and facing up and down. She "seems" to be straining, but...
This is my step by step of what I do to groom my silkies for a show.
I use my kitchen sink hose, I also don't fill the sink up, silkies tend to try their hardest to drown themselves
Step 1: Wet down your silkie.
Step 2: I start with a baby shampoo, I like to mix the shampoo with...
