So one of my hens became broody and I think I’ll let her sit, but the others want to lay in “her” spot. Can I just move her with a bunch of eggs to the baby coop and she’ll do fine? When I took her eggs a couple of weeks ago (she was broody back then) she stopped sitting and went doing her usual...

So apparently they banned all “sports hunting” in my country and canceled hunting season (August-November), except for pests. Are pigeons considered pests? And am I allowed to eat the pests? If I feed said pests, are they still considered pests? Are they considered “wildlife” if I feed them? Is...

My younger birds caught the lice/fleas, I don’t know which one. I only now noticed because of war and lots of work in the farm. They are very light, like they lost all the weight. I put some flea soap on them, but they look sick. I gave them water with honey, and crushed vitamin pill on their...

Hello, So there’s a bit of a conflict going on, and the army has instructed citizens to pack on supplies. Would it be an ok idea to get an extra bag of feed for my flock? My concern is that the feed would go bad. They come in 25kg bags, and I have 12 chicken fowls and 3 pigeon pairs. The...

First question: my sweet pullets like pecking my toes when I don’t wear any shoes, are there hey trying to eat me, or are they attacking me for some reason? Second question: I have a three and a half months old cockerel who seems to not really grow. What’s wrong with him? This is him: him and...

I’m asking for a friend! My friend has three horses, and at the past week she found over a dozen dead birds in the water tanks. She said it’s like the Hitchcock film. She finds new dead birds in the horse’s water every day. Do you think there’s a problem with the water? The birds go to drink it...

What is this little fellow?

So, I read this idea in the boiled egg thread, and I’m going to see weather I can fry an omelette outside. Experiment will start tomorrow at 06:00 Greenwich time. I will place the eggs on a pan with a bit of olive oil, outside on the soil in my garden. Wish me luck.

I got an egg that’s a different colour from usual. Is it possible that a 4 months old pullet made it? She (and sister who is smaller) is a leghorn mix, but doesn’t really have much of a comb yet. Their face is red though. Suspicious egg is in the middle. White is the mothers’s egg and brown...

I know I’ve already asked about it two months ago. I have the same problem again and it’s worse. I have a bunch of two day old chicks. One of them walks on its ankles and has its feet bent upwards. See drawing below. It also has a hard time raising its head and keeping its wings in the correct...

This thing is supposed to be a Black Copper Maran. It’s blue, its feet are hairy, it has a fluffy head and dark pre comb.

I just processed a bunch of pigeons, is it safe to freeze them or should I eat everything today?

They hatched April 7-8th Mothers and father:

These are five and a half weeks old RIRxlLeghorn and RIRxArabi locals Here are they together The red one is number 1. I made a mistake oops 😬

My dog just stands or sits or lays next to the chicks’s coop. He only leaves to go for walks, or to drink. They were outside, but a rat or something grabbed two and I moved them back inside. Whenever the other dog gets near them he starts screaming. He also likes looking at the chickens and...

Slow maturing cock and normal maturing hen, can you feather sex chicks?

I am hatching chicks, and chick number three has what looks like a teenager’s pimple. It took it a long while to get out of its egg, (2+hours) so I helped it crack the eggshell, any chance I did it?

I have a floppy chick, it hatched early, should have hatched tomorrow. It’s feet are weird as well. Is there a way to help it? I gave it some sugar water.

The chicks are supposed to hatch next week. It took some time but the feed place said they will have meat bird starter next week (a large costumer has ordered and they will spare me a bag). My question is: how much should the chicks eat? They are light birds, not meat birds. Also, should I feed...

Hello there, I went to the feed place to see if they have chick feed. They don’t. The pet store also doesn’t have it. (Chicks should hatch in 10 days and I want to make sure I have everything) So my question is: what would be better for them to eat? Pullet starter, general meat bird feed, or...
