I have a 4 month old Golden Laced Polish cockrell with a tail he has recently started holding to the left. It doesn't seem broken when manipulated, and it goes straight when he's picked up and held. I have a bunch of pictures. He does have some pretty crooked toes, but he runs and perches just...

EDIT: Apon closer inspection and different lighting, you can see this duckling has a gray tone to its yellow fluff, and a clear and defined bib. I added another picture. Could this be a silver Swedish? Do they come crested? So, I needed a couple of ducklings quick fast and in a hurry this...

That's my question. I'm looking at a frizzle bantam Polish/Cochin cross chick to be a house chicken and a buddy to my OEGB. I was just curious as to what an adult would look like, and figured one of you awesome chicken peeps would have an example for me. This one is a Splash. And I made SURE to...

Hello! I was in Rural King the other day getting a few polish chicks, when I was distracted by these gorgeous silver chicks with feathered feet! They were in a "Rare Hatchery Choice" bin. I didn't think to take a picture of the list of possible breeds.🤦🏼‍♀️ The chicks look exactly like pictures...

I have no idea how this happened! I was in Rural King getting cat food (yes, I cheated on Chewy, but it was $2/pack cheaper!), and suddenly I heard cheeping. Next thing I know, we are leaving with two RIR and four Dark Brahma chicks! 🤣🤣 I know I said I was only going to order my chicks from now...

This is Fluffernutter, my Light Brahma roo. He is about 7 months old. He is extremely mellow, and all the hens love him. He doesn't let Rhett bully the hens, he just steps in front of Rhett and puffs up like, "Do you really want to roll?" Rhett will halfheartedly peck at him and strut away...

So, I decided my birds are a bit bored and needed some interactive toys. I like coming up with ideas that use items we already have on hand. I got this idea, to hang a head of cabbage like a tether ball, from looking at a picture of a pot hanging from a tripod over a fire. I think it turned out...

So, the day afterThanksgiving we went to Rural King and got four Plymouth Rock chicks. They were active and alert and made the trip home in good health. I did the normal beak dipping, so they knew the food and water, then pushed them under the hot plate to get warm. Not ten minutes goes by, and...

I have a question for the amassed knowledge of this forum. Are Light Brahma Chicks more delicate than other chicks? I ask this because I keep having one or two die on the way home from the store that's 30 minutes away. I keep them warm on the trip with hand warmers wrapped in paper towels. Both...

So I've been going through BYC for the last two hours, and though I've gotten a lot of great information, I am still uncertain on how to do things specific to my flock. I'll lay out what I've got, and wait for the advice to hopefully poor in! Currently I have three 18 month old hens (one Golden...

So, this is my first time letting any of my ducks go broody and hatch eggs all on their own. Opal, the Cayuga mama, hatched out seven beautiful ducklings. However, she abandoned the eighth piping egg. I believe it was because my husband wrapped hardware cloth around the bottom of the duck house...

Hello from southern Kentucky. This is my first post, though I've been lurking for over two years now. Google always sends me here whenever I ask a bird question, and there have been many! This forum is actually a great resource for first time "farm bird" people. I started this bird journey with...
