hey everyone i went outside to hangout with the chickens while they roamed and found they’re poop like this. my older chickens have never had cocci disease before. but my younger ones have. is this cocci? what should i do ????

hey everyone this isn’t really chicken or duck related but i was hoping someone could help me. my puppy (around 4 months) seems like she may have worms? i’m not 100% sure but i don’t know. she’s been very itchy recently, but the weather has changed dramatically here so i read it could be an...

hey everyone, it’s my third year with chickens and am wondering how i make the transition for my younger chickens to stay in with the older ones? my younger ones are around 3 months old and i would like to move them into the same coop as the older ones (they are a year old) they already free...

so i went to pick up layer for my ducks and chickens and the farm (the only place around to get feed) had no layer left. now they get more on tuesday, which is two days away. i have medicated chick starter, and goat feed. can i feed either to my ducks and chickens safely? i would hate for them...

hi everyone. today i let my chickens out around 5pm, as there was a small rain storm. it died down so i thought it would be safe to let them out to stretch their legs. i stayed out with them then went inside for maybe 20 min. came back out to put them to bed and three of my chickens are no where...

hi everyone so kinda funny story i have for everyone tonight. i accidentally locked my neighbours chicken up with my chickens (they hang out all the time and when i went to put them away i guess one of theirs snuck in) it’s 11pm here and i went out to check on them before i went to bed...

my two ducks (8 weeks) don’t know how to quack. that’s what i’m assuming lol. i’ve never really picked them up individually as they were “wild” before (they left and came back this spring, i’ve talked abt it in a previous post) but the other day the one came up to me and let me pet her, i...

hi everyone, i post on here often for tips and advice, but today i am seriously worried about my chciken. she is acting normal but when i was out with them she came and got on my lap, after a short few minutes i realized she had a very hard crop, i went a grabbed one of her sisters and it feels...

hi! a couple of my ducks have angel wing unfortunately. i’m assuming it was from their dad (who had angel wing when i got him and the people said it was just his baby feathers 🙄) they’re about 7 weeks old and i’m wondering if it’s too late to wrap them? the farm in my town said 8 weeks is good...

as many of you know i lost one of my ducks a couple days ago when i left my animals with someone else for my birthday. i haven’t been able to bury her as i needed a couple days before i could look at her. today i buried her and before i assumed she had choked and that’s how she passed. but when...

one of my ducks passed away the other day, im assuming from some sort of crop issue. a couple of my ducks crops look full but not sure if it has always looked like this and i’m just paranoid? they’re 6 weeks old.

hey everyone, so recently i’ve been focusing very hard on my ducks as we had a mink attack two weeks ago. i went out for my 19th birthday today and got a message from the person who is watching the animals that they found one of my ducklings/teen ducks dead. i’m devastated but not sure what...

my chicken, robin, is acting very strange. for the last half of the day she became very broody ( we have no rooster so she is broody over imaginary eggs) she made a nest outside but when i went to put the girls away she was still outside on the nest. i picked her up and put her inside but she’s...

i had a mink attack a week ago. i didn’t kill anything thankfully but i knew it would be back so i’ve done everything i possibly can to protect them. today, my baby/teenage ducks were playing. i came out side to put them to bed and one was missing ? all of the others were content, not injured...

i can’t tell if this material is predator proof. i have more of it to do some modifications on my other coop so was just wondering before i move them into a different set up
