help appreciated

I had a really really small batch of Coturnix Quail eggs in my incubator and fully believed none of them would hatch. However, yesterday morning, I walked into my room to find a single chick running around the incubator. The baby is healthy, but so so alone. There are 3 more eggs sitting in the...

It look like one of my duck my have a broken egg inside of her. I walked outside and noticed she had just pooped and it looks like there yolk around it and coming out of her bottom. She pooped again after and looked like egg white dripping. I don’t see any shell at all. When I let her out this...

Hey Everyone, we have a 10 month old Easter Egger hen who we need to rehome. I was going to put up an ad for her on Craigslist but I want to make sure she goes to a good home. Any tips?

I have a four year old Golden Comet hen who my brother took to the county fair a few weeks ago. While she was there she collapsed and since has not been able to stand up. She has lost a lot of weight. During the first few days after bringing her home she refused to eat or drink, however since...

My ducks beaks are peaking n it’s getting worse it seems. Is this normal? I feed them regular duck pellets but they don’t seem interested in eating much anymore. I blame myself because I ran out of food for a month so I had to feed them stuff like lettuce, carrots, rice, etc so they didn’t...

My little brother recently went to a farm house with my dad. It’s owned by a friend of my dad’s. While there, he saw them killing runt baby chicks. (know it’s runt because he asked why are u kill killing them and they said it’s because the chicks were too small.) My brother originally picked...

There’s nothing physically wrong with her feet or legs. No bumble foot or wounds. Bought her recently, and noticed strange behavior. Walks off balance, stiff like. Appetite is good. Otherwise healthy bird.

Can anyone help me, these were given to me a couple months ago but Ive never known what breed or gender they might be. Can someone help me identify some?

Can I get some help identifying the breed and color of the 4 Littles I got? I believe #2 is a d'uccle, but I am unsure of color (maybe Mille Fleur?).The other 3 I believe to be cochin bantams but I am not sure and also I don't know what color they are either. Is #4 a red cochin bantam? (Pretty...

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...

Howdy! I’m in SE Idaho and I’ve had chickens for quite a few years now. I joined this thread as I’ve been a constant reader but the time has come where I believe I got a couple roosters this set of chicks. Olive egger & maran. Let me know you’re thoughts below 😅 I’d love to share and learn...

I have been here a couple times and my birds were younger so most of their sexes were still in question. But now they are developing - and I think I may have 4 cockerels?!? I’m horrible bird mom because I’m not sure of their exact age. They’re probably around 2 months. How the heck do you pick...

Hello, I’m having issues rehoming my cornish chickens n I’m just wondering if anyone could lend me some tips? I’ve already tried here and cragis list + I don’t have Facebook.

Hi there, long time follower of the forum and first time posting. I have been searching and searching for similar situations to what's going on with our chicks but seem to be getting all kinds of results. Some background, we have 2 older hens that are around 5 years old and aren't displaying any...

My orpington went broody while i was out of town, my chicken baby sitter let her sit on eggs so when we got back into town we were gonna let her hatch them out. She left nest for 2days straight all were dead except one duck egg. I decided to incubate it, it externally pipped 2 days ago and...

(Hopefully that is viewable and its a little wet because it went into its water bowl and is drying off now) It hatched out 7th June perfectly with its sibling and its eating and drinking fine but notice how weird it toes look and how it walks. It is a mallard crossed with a runner duck, so...

Ive been incubating a couple crested and cayuga duck eggs the past few weeks and today as I went to remove the egg turner so I could place them on lockdown and as I was returning them to the incubator I noticed that 3 of the eggs had pipped! Im just worried that me moving them around while...

Hello all! I am getting 9 laying chicks, 2 ring neck pheasant chicks and 1 pekin duck soon. I live in Southern Ontario, Canada. Hoping to get some good advice and help to raise happy and healthy animals :) :D :celebrate

Hey y'all! So I have a rooster. I didn't raise him from a baby but he was given to me and I was told he was about eight to nine months old at the time. So he is estimated to be about nine to tenish months old now. I was worried he was going to be aggressive but he was actually more curious and...

Hello there. I am a new chicken mom. We have 8 adorable baby chickens and are only about a week or so into our chicken raising. We have them in a large bin, with a brood lamp, food, and water (of course). Oldest chick is around 10 days old (we speculate), and the newest chick is around 3 or 4...
