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!

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...

Hello all!
I have a forum that explains the story of our sweet rescue chicken and this will include her new flock of friends we recently adopted.The link is here: Mabel's Story
The exciting news is that we got our very first egg today!
We adopted 3 one-year-old chickens from a local suburban...
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!)...
