Hey all! I picked up this adorable little bantam at the auction I frequent. Hoping someone can narrow down what bantam I have possibly? I believe they could be a Belgian D’Anver ? But they also have some slight feathering coming in on the legs so I’m unsure of it truly is or not :idunno...

Hey all! I got some Silkies at an auction this weekend and not much is know about besides I’m pretty sure I have a hen and a roo for the darker colouring I got. I’m just not too sure what that colouring is? :oops: Hoping some others could help me decide if they are Silver Partridge or maybe...

Hey all, I’ve recently had a number of birds coke up sick due to suspected ingesting of botulism. This is suspected due to a recent pullet, who was predominantly ingesting the fallen apples, came up sick with one droopy wing that after a day or two led to another. Before this pullet came up...

This has been progressing since she started growing her adult feathers. Always took longer than her hatch mates which made me think she was a rooster as all my roosters took longer to feather out compared to the pullets. It’s all over her body in spots so I can tell some of this couldn’t be...

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Cream Crested Legbar, 14/15 week old pullet, very under weight (judged by prominence of keel bone) 2) What is the behaviour, exactly. Lethargic, puffed up, tail droopy, wings away from body...

Hi all, I’ve been helping this chick over the last week helping it get better as it had slipped tendons in both legs. I had fixed the one tendon before the weekend and still was unable to get the other tendon to go into place until two nights ago I felt bc it moved almost into the exact right...

Hi all, I had a chick hatch out earlier today. It got moved to the brooder before really being able to check them out as I was at work for a while yet. It turns out that it doesn’t seem able to straighten its leg .. I can’t even straighten its one leg. It’s locked up at the elbow it seems...

It’s my first time hatching eggs. It’s in someone else’s incubator who didn’t give me many instructions when incubating. Besides fill the water up and turn the eggs daily. I’ve had a few chicks hatch successfully but then this morning one hatched and then drowned an hour later while I was...

I had thought everything was good and dandy lately with the weasel but on my first day off everything is, in fact, not good and dandy. Seems it’s been getting hungry and the wild rabbit it had the other day wasn’t enough (I found patches of fur in the tractor shelter beside the skids of...

Hello everyone! I had thought I should make a thread about building my pigeon loft so here I am. My loft is being built into the ceiling of my chicken coop (after being suggested that on here) to make use of the space and to help keep them warm in winter as I only have a few. I’ll be posting...

I’ve posted about him before and he’s a household favourite so everyone wants to figure this out. I’ve always wondered what my Silkie crosses are but he’s definitely made me want to find out the most. He has 5 toes and one leg is a light grey/blue with the other being pink. His comb at the...

This handsome fella was from 3 years ago at an old farm I had previously worked at. He was there for a short time while his housing was being set up for him. These are the only photos I have of him but I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me what breed he is or if he’s a mix of...

Unsure if this is a good place for this but it’s about egg laying...but it’s also a “look at my chickens egg” kind of thing?? Let me know if it’s better somewhere else :) That being said, I can’t be the only one who likes to take photos of my girls with their eggs am I? :oops: This is what I...

I FINALLY got my second blue/green egg from one of my other Ameraucanas! :celebrate They are all 7 1/2 months old, born Easter weekend. My goodness they’ve been holding out on me, haven’t they.. still one more blue/green layer to go! :old

As some of us already know, the winter months are upon us. Nows the time the snow always flies before we have everything weatherproofed! I know some of us have been getting snow for a while (I understand your pain with what he had gotten before the warm front moved in) so you might already have...

This morning I was handed my one boy who we assume got hit by a car. He was laying in the middle of the road not moving and had some road rash on his one side. I was only able to find minimal external damage (just the one spot of visible road rash) that I found but I’m worried about any hidden...

I have this pullet who has normally white earlobes but I noticed today they both had some brown spots. I’ll add some photos. She’s recently been acting broody and screams when you try to reach anywhere near her when she’s in the nest. She does get off to eat and drink in the morning and I’ve...

Hi all, I’ve been getting some eggs I think have faded speckles but I was wondering if it’s anything else? It’s not every egg but I see it every now and again. The ones laying are silkie crosses but I’m not sure what with. I just want to make sure they’re speckled and not poor shell quality :idunno

I’m looking for any suggestions for spray foam insulation to use in both of my coops? I’ve been planning on using it just in my small coop but it would be worth the money to just do them both. I’m unsure of the size of the coops but I’m mainly looking for suggestions based on the quality of...

Hey all, I posted over in Injuries/Diseases/Emergencies the other day when I found myself with a pigeon who was attacked by a raccoon. This is that thread: Raccoon attacked pigeon /pictures of wounds I came here to ask about everything. Housing, feed, general care, etc. Also if anyone knows...
