    Hi there! I’m an accidental duck mama.

    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...

    11 of my babies were killed

    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...

    Escaped pet or wild dove?

    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...

    Flies

    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?

    2 new black minorcas, any ideas?

    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?

    Rescue Duck Getting Beat Up

    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...

    What is this chicken?

    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!

    Kato The Rescue Puppy

    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...

    Ducks Abandoned in pond!

    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!

    Southern CA: 2 mallard ducklings needing a home

    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...

    Neglected Chicken Care

    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...

    Abandoned wild duckling

    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...

    So... I have a rock dove now. Meet Squabble.

    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...
