https://ibb.co/zfyzxqs https://ibb.co/Jy0dtWk https://ibb.co/ZJQNCBz this baby is about 24 hours old. I fear she has a slip tendon or rotated femur. She constantly gets stuck on her back and has lots of trouble eating and drinking without complete assistance. I’m worried she’s in pain as she...

Hey y'all! So it happened again... I walked into a feed store (this time it was TSC) for something completely not chick related and happened to see dying baby chicks... this is how I got into chickens... and how 30% of my flock expanded. 🤦‍♀️ I'm not sure if these little guys will make it, but...

Hey there, I have come across 2 baby chicks 2 weeks ago and they are growing to the point where it is difficult to take care of them properly. I have them in a brooder for now but not sure what to do with them once fully grown. I am a college student with a lack of a backyard and not sure where...

I am wanting to compare my keet's development (size) to the average keet to be reassured that it is growing as it should. I understand that there are a few factors that could influence a keet's development, but maybe there is a standard scale one can go on? I have been searching on this website...

The keet (26 days old) showed me in person this morning, just what little savages fowls can be. It caught a gecko and, after knocking it about a bit, swallowed it whole. I already knew fowls to be so, but to witness it just a few inches from my eyes is a little... well... I can't think of the...

We have wild indigenous Guinea Fowl in our residential area, Cape Town, South Africa, and, along with occasionally having to help them out of tricky situations that they get themselves into in our neighbourhood yards, I recently rescued a day old keet which was distress calling from the next...

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...

Last week I got two ducklings from a neighbor that didn’t want them anymore. The kid had convinced their mom to let them get a couple of ducklings just to make their dad mad and now were trying to get rid of them. One I think is a fawn and white Indian runner and the other maybe a khaki...

My husband and I have taken in 2 ducklings and a young chicken. The previous owner found them to be to much work and was horrible neglecting them. The smaller duckling is missing fuzz on it's neck and has dark patches around his eyes. Can anyone help with what this is? They said the ducklings...

My cousin took four juvenile turkeys from a farm ( I don't know how, I didn't ask ) and I took them in cause why not; I like poultry. Anyways, one was stuck user a food dispenser at the farm and sadly died from dehydration but the other three are doing okay but they're older than expected so the...

Hi there, I don’t have chickens but I do have ducks. It happened by accident really. I had a mama duck nest in a planter box I had. End of June checked on them. Only one baby hatched and couldn’t get out on its own. So I helped them out and off they went with their mama. That was that. She...

Yesterday, a group of German Shepherds got into my coop and killed 7 silver lined olive egger pullets and 4 white african guinea fowl that I had been raising up. They just hit 12 weeks and I am devastated. I fixed my fence and fortified it. With that being said, if anyone in Northwest Oklahoma...

This dove has been sneaking around my chicken coop lately. Today I tried to get a closer look & she ended up going IN the coop! She let's me get close (doesn't much appreciate me picking her up) which other doves around won't do.. but I think she's mainly looking for food. I caught her because...

I have bought the reusable Rescue fly traps. Now the ingredients say nontoxic. They are loaded with flies and maggots. What I'm wondering is if these could be fed to chickens?

I stopped into a feed store today and saw these two sad looking birds sold as 1/3 of the chick price. They’re in rough shape and very flighty. I was told that they’re 7 weeks old and pullets. Any ideas?

Hello! We have an Indian Runner duck we recently rescued with the help of animal control from a local park. She's a sweetheart. Unfortunately our Pekins (6) hate her. We have 5 females, 1 drake. The rescue is a female and is docile and submissive. So far they bully her away from food & water...

Can anyone help identify what type of chicken this is? We found it waking along a main road and have taken it in. It also has a large lump on one of its wings that it keeps pecking and making it bleed, we are trying to keep it clean but not sure what it is. Not sure what to do!

For those of you who love puppies and puppy pictures. I rescued Cato and two other sibs in October (coincidentally pitbull awareness day is in October). The other two have been rehomed, but Cato is my boy🥰. His mom was hit by a car, but from what I saw of her around town she looked to be a VERY...

Hey everyone! I am new to this forum and this is my first year raising chickens - so I am pretty inexperienced. Yesterday I rescued a chicken from my husbands work. He works at an auto shop on a very busy road. She was there for at least a week. Chickens are not allowed in this area of town and...
