rescue

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...

I live in the US Southwest and unfortunately I caught my dog with this baby quail in our backyard 2 days ago. Its in the middle of summer right now in the desert so it's incredibly hot out. Thankfully my dog wasn't biting down on her and was just curious. Ants were already starting to approach...

On my morning walk, something told me to walk the other way and go around the big lake today. Lo and behold I see these three clearly domestic ducks that somebody must’ve abandoned. They look to be a light buff hen and two blue runner drakes. I went back to my house, got some dog food and came...

I have finally added a rooster to my flock I need name ideas! He was a rescue and is in treatment for a URI, so he looks a bit under the weather right now (Currently on script antibiotics and quarantine!) but I can’t wait to see how beautiful he becomes!

Two mallard eggs were orphaned when the mother died... I rescued them, incubated them, and hatched them. They have imprinted on me. They are currently 3 weeks old. I found out that even though they have never been in the wild since they were hatched here, they are still considered wild. So I...

I am in the process of trying to get a flock of (what used to be 15) 6 birds, about a year of age. They have been heavily neglected and abused by their owners, not being fed for weeks, no fresh water or water at all for a week or more at a time, and being closed up in a coop. They haven't laid...

My neighbor found this little one in their yard and since they know I have ducks, they brought it to me 🥺 My own ducks are currently 9 weeks old and I’m keeping them separate from this one. I have a female Rouen and a male Chocolate Runner. I’m not sure on age, guessing around a day old...

It’s name is Squabble. Found this little guy looking all lost and alone in town and my lord, Squabble rivals Scrappy in tameness and daftness. Thought it was sick... It is perfectly healthy. Thought it couldn’t fly... It flew around the living room and my bedroom. It is just too sweet and...

I am in Canada, and if anybody lives here, they know how hard it is to find pest control. Long story short, im pretty sure my previously stray chicken has lice and has passed it to my other chicken (found a louse crawling next to her eye). I can only assume they are both infested. I only have...

Hey guys! I picked up this little guy yesterday morning. He was abandoned in a box at a dog park with no food or water. He has some welts on his back, he’s in great hands now and loved to cuddle I’m more then positive it’s a male but I was wondering if anyone knew this breed. He is beautiful and...

Dose this have to do with his kidney issues? I recently got a rescue who has enlarged kidneys and he's been panting all day. His lungs were totally clear on x-ray and he was otherwise very healthy. I've had him in quarantine for 30 days and introduced him to the flock yesterday and right after...

We have two male khaki campbell named Ashten and Marten and a female blue runner named Diamond for sale. the history on them is the khaki campbell were surrendered and the blue runner was dumped. I am adopting them out because I need room for easter rescues. I do have four female rouen mix...

Cottonball aka Puff Ball Genius is our little rescue bunny. He/She is about 3 weeks old and we rescued him on 3/4. The little one is in fairly rough shape, but is getting better for sure! I thought I would make this thread so others can enjoy the journey and cuteness of Cottonball! 3/4...

We very recently lost one of our two remaining rescue hens, and are desperately looking for two more in the SF Bay Area. Our one hen is about 4 years old, we think. The only hens available locally are newly hatched. Is that too young to add to our flock of one 4 year old? Also, any leads on 2...

Hi hope everyone is well. I am writing to ask for ides and or suggestions. I have one Leg Horn who is very old and a rescue from battery cages. I also have 3 Isa Browns who are rescues from free range (In large Shed) farm. Then I have 2 Australorps which I grew up from day old chicks. The...
