rescue

Meet Percy and Pedro the bonded boar guinea pigs I got yesterday. ^^ They are both rescue piggies from two different homes, but have been bonded and are now living here, with plenty of space, veggies and love. This is Percy the Peruvian cross, not quite sure what he is crossed with, but I...

Hi there! I am soo glad that I have finally joined BYC. I have used valuable information off of BYC for over 3 years for my wildlife rescue center in South Africa. I take in wild bird’s eggs all the time and need advice on homemade incubators and hatching eggs every now and again. I also want to...

We found this little guy (or gal) on the interstate, in the city... Any clue what breed, age, and sex it is? His back feathers are torn up, maybe he was used as a game cock?

We recently dove back into the Chicken life. A friend told us about 4 rescue Reds that needed help, so I purchased a coop and attached run - and they have fenced free range as well. They have great food, clean water every day, treats, shade - nesting boxes etc - all the right stuff. The first...

Our rescue was just contacted by somebody in Dallas who found two dumped female ducks. She lives in White Rock. She said the ducks have clipped wings and kids were chasing and beating them with sticks. She has them at her house but can't keep them permanently. If anyone could temporarily house...

Hi! Two days ago a wild duckling showed up in our literal doorstep (we live in the country) but we can't get him to eat, I have read a lot of threads on the site but was wondering if maybe giving specifics and identifying the duck would help in taking care of him? I've made a brood box and he...

So i’m new to pigeons. Last Saturday we picked up this little guy from the shelter. Obviously a juvenile because of the little squeaks he makes but it’s super super super friendly. I just want to know what breed do you guys think he is? I had someone say they thought he was a street pigeon but...

One of my old friends whom I haven't heard from in years contacted me last evening. She said that they found a lost racing pigeon in their yard a while back, and have been caring for it ever since. They checked his leg bands (he has 3), and he's apparently from NY, but they don't want to send...

Hey y'all!! I'm in a bit of odd situation -for me at least - and I currently am home caring for a sick and injured husband and am currently unemployed. We have a small flock of both chicken and ducks. If u are near here and have animals needing homes, chicken or female ducks mostly, I wld b...

Long story short: I rescued a baby pigeon that was found on the floor of my barn a few months ago now. Decided to keep the pigeon, as it wouldn't have survival instincts being raised by a human. He does great and has adapted well to indoor life (though I do take him outside with me a lot!)...

Hey guys! This is cross posted to the thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/cotton-patch-geese.1329862/page-4 Please read through it and give me all the knowledge and help you can...this poor boy needs all our help! Long story short, what started as an adoption from a "breeder"...

I have this 3 month old French Black Copper MaranI got from an auction. I have had him about 11 days. For 5 days it was treated with corid water for cocciadstat and for parasites. The first 3 days he wouldn't eat or drink but I force watered him with an eyedropper. He is now eating and drinking...

A few weeks ago, I went into our barn to get some straw for my geese. I noticed something moving on the floor of the barn - a very young pigeon. Way too young to be out of its nest. As we have stray cats in the area, I didn't want to leave it there to die. The nests were all very high up in the...

Hello friends, I have recently acquired 2 rescue conjures, Boo and Mango. I have zero information on them, except they belonged to a woman who passed, and they were sold at an animal auction to someone I know. The person who gave them to me didn't handle them at all. When I met the birds a...

Hi friends! First time poster here, I have three female ducks currently, two khakis and one runner. We decided to add a drake to the flock recently and I found a rescue a few hours from me and got approved for a drake! (see attached photo) the female in the photo was so unique I decided to get...

Hi all, I’m relatively new to chicken keeping having rescued 4x ex battery hens in December last year. All four are settling well. They’re not bald anymore and follow me around the garden. I’ve attached a photo of the girls. I am a fully vegan mother of two boys. We love having chickens and...

Oh My Goodness! Between the visual of these three ladies discovering the world for the first time and the music ... I nearly needed a tissue! Then there was the follow up, six months later ... The author of the videos shared this note: Please feel free to share and embed this video for...

Does anyone know any ex battery hen rescues near Massachusetts US? I seem to only find some in California and the UK. Also was wondering if there are ducks that are like battery hens that need help. Thank you :)
