    Runt or Slow Feather Boy?

    This little Serama looks a week or two younger than it's siblings and has delayed feather development compared to them. They are all 3 weeks old, and all them including the runty one are eating and drinking fine. The two mother hens seem to be preferring the runty chick over the others as well...

    Can Sour Crop Cause Seizures?

    One of my Serama pullets, Betty, came down with a really bad case of sour crop where she was super lethargic, extending her neck gasping, with gurgling sounds in her crop, squeaking and having fits which included wing beating, jumping up in the air then flipping over on to her back or side with...

    What breeds are in this mix hen?

    Silkie? Polish? Serama? Sebright? Pekin? A bit of everything blended into one adorable tiny hen? :confused: Tinny was sold to her previous owner as a generic bantam, and am trying to figure out what this strange little poofy bird is. Tinny is a year old. Tinny is definitely part silkie, but...

    Little Sickly Banty

    Just got this gal after someone advertised online about needing to rehome her as her flockmates died, first the rooster and then her hen-friend. Looks to be a polish cross? Tinny has scaley leg mites from the looks of it and a bit of a wheeze to her breathing, so she had a bath with Johnson's...

    Broody Rock Dove Sitting on Serama Eggs

    My rescue rock dove, Squabble, is sitting on two serama eggs from Dolly and Jeremy, and there's already development in one of the eggs! It has been 3 days so far and so there's between 16 to 18 days left. I did try with a clutch of three eggs a week ago but none of the eggs developed, so super...

    A Cockerel with Gold Lacing and White Head

    Is there an official name for this colour? Jeremy is 4-5 months old and is still getting his gold laces, but I cannot find any pictures of chickens with both gold lacing and white on their heads. He had a light orange head, black body and white underside as a chick.

    So... I have a rock dove now. Meet Squabble.

    It’s name is Squabble. Found this little guy looking all lost and alone in town and my lord, Squabble rivals Scrappy in tameness and daftness. Thought it was sick... It is perfectly healthy. Thought it couldn’t fly... It flew around the living room and my bedroom. It is just too sweet and...

    Serama Chick Care, Am I Doing It Right?

    I got three Serama chicks at 4 weeks of age, though the black one is 3 week old. They were being given away free to a good home so I quickly jumped into getting them. Just clearing up that I got everything covered for them care wise, as Seramas are fragile critters. Quarantined from current...

    Just got Rescue Guinea Pigs! (Image heavy)

    Meet Percy and Pedro the bonded boar guinea pigs I got yesterday. ^^ They are both rescue piggies from two different homes, but have been bonded and are now living here, with plenty of space, veggies and love. This is Percy the Peruvian cross, not quite sure what he is crossed with, but I...

    (Edit: Not looking good, laying in cage lathergic and hasn't pooped once) It's me again, weak young feral domestic dove

    Had better luck this time as I convinced the people I live with to let me keep it on the back yard, so I did my best to waterproof the cage... Not the nicest thing to look at, but the best I could do. I have noticed a lot of injured and weak fledglings this year up here, I think the adults...

    Rescued Feral Rock Dove/Pigeon

    I found an injured rock dove in town who appears quite young, probably one of this year's squabs, who has missing tail feathers, an injured leg and is incredibly thin. No leg rings, so it is a feral birb. I couldn't leave the poor thing and had to bring it home, where it is now resting in an...

    My Old Boi Scrappy

    So I have this old Japanese Quail who turns 4 on the 11th of November and he is still going strong. Many people find it crazy just how tame he is, as he'll happily take a nap on you and loves attention, as long as his dustbathing time isn't disturbed. :p You could probably do anything to this...

    So... I almost got attacked by a rat today.

    I was outside on the doorstep with my hens petting and cuddling them and enjoying the weather, when they started doing disturbed clucking and gathered in front of the gate that separates the concrete part of the yard from the dirt part, and is only a foot away from the doorstep. I looked and...

    When the Broodybug bites...

    I know it is the bird nesting season and all... But I think if they did have real eggs under them they'd be hardboiled! :lau

    Silver or Cinnamon Tuxedo?

    This little Painted Quail squeaker woke me up after hatching and looks to be a tuxedo of some kind, but I can't make out if he/she is a silver or cinnamon! :p

    Injured Racing Pigeon Found

    I found an injured racing pigeon on my back yard 'terrorizing' the chickens by merely standing on the opposite side of the fence. I was super concerned at first as she let me walk over and pick her up, and it looks like a hawk or something got her earlier today. The wound wasn't bleeding and was...

    Can Diamond Doves eat meat?

    I have a male diamond dove who is having an identity crisis and thinks he is a quail, he snuggled with them last night and today he surprised me. I was treating the quail with some sausage, and the dove ran over... Literally ran over, to the quail feeding ball and gave it a peck too! AND he ate...

    Mysterious blood on the floor?

    So... I have a mystery. There is blood on the floor, but there is no reason for there to be blood on the floor to be found. :confused: I checked every single one of my chickens and checked the two quail that live with the chickens for any injuries or blood on their feathers or beaks... NOPE...
