advice needed

I’m located in Kentucky and have been on a serious search for a new beautiful breed to start breeding. I haven’t had much luck though in finding new breeders to befriend and do business with. I’m not particularly looking for a rare rare breed but something new to bring around my community. My...

My chicken all of a sudden started drunk walking and so we brought her inside and two days later she has not moved, isn’t eating, or drinking. I thought it could be signs of Marek’s disease but it’s all happening so quickly. do the symptoms usually take affect like this, one day fine the next...

I have 7 chickens (6 hens and 1 rooster), Richard the naked necked rooster has always been super docile and never given me any issues or tried to harm any of the hens. I just got a female pekin from a bad home and when I went to introduce them he just started attacking her with his beak and...

We recently bought a Jamieson vitamin D3 (400 iu) supplement for my duck. She’s two years old and has a vitamin d deficiency. We don’t go outside often, but I’ve been opening the curtains for her in the morning for her to get some sunshine. I was wondering how much I should feed her this...

I was checking my rooster today (had some lice we treated last month) and noticed a large, warm bump below his neck. There are no feathers growing on it. I accidentally plucked a loose feather which is the red dot. Any ideas as to what this could be? He is acting normal.

I have a friend that is battling health issues and is going to be traveling out of town for 3 weeks. She doesn't have the strength and stamina to secure her old dilapidated coop and run before leaving. I offered for her to bring her 6 chickens over with their tractor so we could care for them...

Hello everyone. I am completely new to chickens - a rooster wandered onto our property about two weeks ago. I haven't been able to locate his owner so I figured at this point he's most likely not getting claimed. He's a polish rooster, very cautious but not aggressive. I've been able to pick...

A few days ago, I discovered my favorite chicken, a 5-year-old female buff Orpington, has bumblefoot on both her feet (stage 3 or 4). I don’t think her feet are swollen, but she has 2 dark scabs. I’ve noticed she walks a little weird sometimes and might be sleeping a little more than usual...

I’ve noticed this while watching her, but sometimes she seems to have a hard time pooping. She’ll poop about half of it then stop for some seconds and poop the other half out after. Please help, any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it serious? -She’s a Pekin duck -She is a year and a half...

This a Manna pro duck feed I’ve been giving my duck lately, but it seems kind off.. I don’t know, there are some black spots there after looking closely, so I’m a bit worried. It doesn’t feel weird nor does it smell bad, but was there always black dots on the feed? I don’t know. I have noticed...

I’ve been looking at it for awhile now, but I can’t really tell. I don’t believe there is any, but there seemed to be some earlier, so I want to make sure just in case. Any help is appreciated! -She is one and a half years old -She is a Pekin duck -She’s only been eating Manna pro duck feed...

Her beak has been very hot for the past few days. We believe it’s because it’s summer now, but the AC is always on and though it isn’t cool during the mornings, it’s fine at night. However, her beak is ALMOST ALWAYS hot even during nighttime. She’s panting and her beak is hot, to the point it’s...

Please help! it’s our first time having ducks, so we’re having some trouble. We fed her a lot of food that wasn't supposed to be eaten long term, but we’re doing our best to fix this mistake. Any advice is appreciated!

Hello, I’m new here and been searching threads for advice. Everyone is so nice! Thought I’d make a post of my own for more specific help. I had a pair of mourning doves lay 2 eggs in a hanging planter right next to my front door. They hung in there for about a week, but after multiple...

I discovered (amd I don't know how I missed them until now) wasp or hornet nests in and around my coop and need some help to A) Identify if possible, and B) Know what to do with them. I don't necessarily WANT to kill them, but I don't really like the idea of an active nest INSIDE the enclosed...

I already had a forum going for this but it hasn’t got much attention and this problem is still persisting. I have a baby chicken with a ruptured air sac which I have been treating for WEEKS now and it just isn’t healing. We went to a vet first thing and she said to just drain the air a few...
