So today, I found a small turkey at my work (a nursery). It showed up out of nowhere, and they are not indigenous to my area. The German Shepherd would have killed it, or the many coyotes in the area would have eaten it if I didn't catch it and bring it home. Its friendly, about knee high...

Serama, 11 months old, feels a bit on the thin side, comb is paler than normal. No mites, I checked carefully. She is somewhat fluffed up, but walking, but not perky, seems to be drinking a lot of water, still eating, closes eyes often while standing, but is responsive. Noticed that she seemed...

My 7 yr old was attacked by a pack of pitbulls today...... This one is coming home with us to be our next flock guard...... Hawks and coyotes beware!

I received 3 new birds last week, and they HAVE BEEN QUARANTINED. When they first arrived, they were dewormed, and I applied Frontline on them for mites/lice (These are show birds, not for eating or laying). I don't find any moving critters on them, but I still see egg sacs on the base of the...

While my oldest daughter and I were up early for Black Friday shopping, my brother took my youngest 6yo. daughter fishing, for her first time. Imagine my surprise, when I heard she hooked the catch of the day!!!

Just noticed a sign yesterday, a neighbor lost their ferret. How big of a threat are they to chickens? How worried should I be? I have a flock of layers, as well as some tiny bantams.

I have a beautiful Light Sussex pullet, about 8 months old. She has been sneezing constantly for a couple weeks now. I did the antibiotics in the water for a whole week, then I switched to 1cc Tylan 50 (orally) for a 3 days right after that, and nothing is making her stop! She's not acting...

I know they are "just chickens", but I swear, my pullet has the BIGGEST crush on the rooster that I am babysitting. I may just have to make plans to keep him! She usually screams and runs, but with this guy, it was instantaneous.... cuddling, grooming, sticking close by....??? They do make a...

My husband recently found a female Manx cat in the neighborhood, purportedly abandoned by her former owners. I believe she may be pregnant. She was VERY hungry and has been eating voraciously, her abdomen is firm and full, and her "teets" pink and noticeable. She's not too active, though she...

This is my second year with chickens, and now we are thinking about planning a 4 day vacation..... I'm wondering how you all do it?? Do I hire/ call in favors to friends to check on my birds daily? or do I leave huge amounts of food and water out, and hope for the best? My most trusted chicken...

Thanks to all that offer me input. I have a 11 month old Delaware pullet Symptoms: lethargy, poo is very loose with lots of urates? (white stuff), no signs of worms Otherwise... eating her favorite foods, not puffed up, no swelling or drainage, no sneezing or gasping, abdomen does not feel...

I posted pics of my "Blue Cochin" (mix, obviously it has a beard..LOL) about 2 months ago, and ya'll said it was a roo. I kept "him", because he was sweet, quiet, and didn't cause any trouble. Now its two months later, my big fluffy "dude" is ENORMOUS, biggest of all the coop mates! He's 4...

I have a flock of 10 LF layers that free-range together. One hen has two chicks about 3 weeks old. I've noticed some unusual tiny worm-like things in "somebody's" poo over the last couple days, and since I've never dewormed, in over a year, I'm thinking I might do so. What is the best thing to...

My beautiful Australorp hen went broody for the first time, sitting on some OEGB eggs for me. She was so focused on those eggs, she refused to get out of the nest to eat, drink, or stretch. After two weeks, she was not looking well. I brought her in the house, off the eggs, and for two days...

Integrating is always hard, 'cause somebody always ends up the underdog. I was wondering, if its helpful at all to mix things up a bit at integration time, i.e. sequester the bossy hens, let the newbies mix with the the mid-low range pecking order birds, then bring back the bossy hens after a...

I have an OEGB hen, 12 mo old, barely 13 oz, who is not "sick", but just seems to be surviving, rather than thriving. Poops are normal, no diarrhea, no sign of worms, though I haven't dewormed her in at least 6 months. No sign of mites or lice, vent and initial inspection shows clean and clear...

Has anybody here ever written to the APA or the ABA about a standard that you feel is needs to be changed, or is unnecessary? If so, what was it, and how did it turn out?
