Good afternoon everyone. I usually hang out over in the chicken forums as that is what I raise at home, how ever this is a question from my work! We have a rather large indoor bird aviary, we are a Nursing home and we love our birds!! We have a wonderful variety, just last week a female bob...

We recently caught these two critters on our game camera... what are your thoughts.... fox or coyote??

I have a year old peking duck, my boy friend found her two nights ago exhausted barely keeping herself afloat in our pond. He fished her out and she went into the duck house for the night. Today I find her again sinking in the pond. I fished her out... she is not injured in any way, healthy...

I have been having some issues with one of my roosters this week. His legs have seemed to turn into rubber, he has very poor balance and wobbles around like a baby just learning to walk. He is no longer able to roost he is sleeping in one of the nesting boxes. I watched him this morning for a...

I found some buried treasure this morning in the duck coop. 15 beautiful eggs I only have 4 ducks and have been getting 2-4 eggs a day from them so I suspect these 15 eggs might be from when they started to lay a few weeks back. Can you float test duck eggs to see if they are fresh or not?

I have five ducks, they are about 5 months old now. We are moving them from a brooding pen to their own very nice large pen with a pond. these ducks are afraid of everything! Even those who feed and care for them, the have always been this way. They are getting better with trusting people...

I went out to visit with the chickens on this glorious day only to find all 23 of them huddled in a pile on top of one of my roosters. the poor guy had gotten frost bite over the winter and had a pretty beaten up comb, apparently the scabs started to come off and all the gals decided they would...

We added 5 cute ducklings to our brood in October, they are now grown and soon to move out of the brooder pen. We are almost finished with their new house and pen. Last spring we built them a pool, but since we had no ducks we had a pond full of tad poles that grew into huge frogs.... we love...

I am new to ducks.... so here is my situation... we bought 5 cute little ducklings back in the beginning of October with the hopes of building them a nice enclosure with a built in pond for them. Needless to say we got hit by the hurricane in the end of October with the duck pen half finished...

We have just added 5 adorable ducklings to our brood. They are growing quickly with no issues except for one of the pekins had leg problems, we treated that and she is well on her way to recovery! My issue is that we currently have them in the laundry room in a very large dog cage, well...

I have two beautiful Roos that hatched out last summer, they are currently in a bacholer pen by themselves. I have 22 chicks, all hens that are just under two months old in another pen. How old do the chicks need to be before I can put them in with the roos?

I guess its that time of year again....I got myself a broody hen and she is hoarding everyones eggs and guarding them with her life. She was sitting on 17 of them today. We went thru this last year as well and let the hen hatch out the eggs and they were all roosters. So not wanting any more...

Good evening everyone, I have a sick roo on my hands. I noticed him this afternoon as I went to collect eggs, he was sleeping on the roost in the coop. I found it odd but I went on with my chores. I threw out some treats and he joined in the crowd but I noticed he was falling asleep on his...

I have a teenage rebel chicken on my hands... she laid me a white egg today.... and gossiping to all her friends about it

I think I have a skunk living under one of my coops. I noticed a few fairly large tunnels forming under each corner of one of my coops. I thought it might be rats, or even chickmonks. So I closed them up with some fresh dirt. I just went out today and noticed one has already been dug out...

Last Weekend I let the new chicks out for some free ranging... they were having a great time! It was thier first time out. Then all of a sudden out of no where comes one of my new roos... full speed , all puffed up and ready to rumble! Hmm I said to my self.. I have delt with this before and...
