My favorite hen has a very large tumor, confirmed by the vet. But there is nothing we can do but keep her comfortable - surgery is risky and looking around 6-8k, which I couldn't do. Im wondering if anyone has tried any holistic remedies that worked to shrink the tumor? The vet said it is likely...

I believe My Oliver Egger is the "mom" of this hen. But genetically, is it possible? I only had one green layer and hatched two of her eggs along with a bunch of others. So I don't know for sure who hatched from the green eggs. BUT this hen now lays green eggs, so I'm assuming she must be from...

PLEASE READ WHOLE LONG POST Okay guys. I have posted on how many different groups over the past few weeks and really have no answers here. My birds have a wheeze in their nose. It sounds exactly like a being a little stuffy and breathing in and out of your nose. There's no discharge or any...

What is the best feed for larger breeds? I have a Peking duck and what I believe is a New Hampshire red rooster. They're about 11 weeks old. I'm worrying about them growing too quickly and getting too heavy for their legs. I currently have them on pier in a flock raiser which is a 20% protein. I...

I have a 6 day old chick struggling with wry neck. She has been struggling since day one. Been giving her raw yolk and water with some honey. I can get some rooster booster down her but she's very bad about anything with vitamins mixed in it. If I drop it onto her beak she flings her head and it...

should I be concerned about the build up around the gland? My little guy is on Albon for a respiratory infection and I noticed his belly was very red underneath (I'll post photos, I just cleaned up some Poo so he was wet) I sent the photos to a friend and she said to check for mites or anything...

Any ideas? Can’t find anything that has just one stripe on the head and back and is the same coloring! I also attached a photo of the breeds I should have received though already found one was mislabeded as I do not have a noir maran 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi guys! This was once Louise then believed to be Louis but now I’m not so sure again 🤷🏼‍♀️ Louis was from TSC , mislabeled as an Amerucana. So I’m not positive on the breed either. He is red with black feathers in his wings and tail. About 10 weeks old and has not yet started to crow thoughts...

Hi guys! I am picking up day old chicks on Saturday (18 of them!) so I have a few questions. 1. How do I regulate the temperature with a brooder plate? I don’t want to use lamps as they scare me (fire hazard) 2. I have about a 2 hour drive with them. How can I prepare for them to stay warm...

Hi all! What are you best suggestions for nesting boxes? Easiest to clean and maintain? Thinking wood will actually be the hardest? Links and pictures appreciated!!

My duck has a wheeze, she sounds like her nose is stuffy. I’ve done vet Rx for 3 days with no difference. Discharge, I’ve heard her sneeze a few times and cough once over the past few days. What else can I do?

Best tips for ventilation? We got an 8x8 shed, it has one window that does not open. What’s the best tips for ventilation and tempature control? We were thinking something similar to an attic fan?

Not sure at what age you can start to tell the gender of a rouen? Waffles is neurological so she has been growing and developing a little slower. Yesteday she made her first “quack” sound and sounded very similar to my female Pekin quack. she is getting blue/green and purple tint to all her...

Hi guys. This is Waffles my crested rouen. She suffers from neurological problems due to the crest. She gets nutridrench and it does seem to help her a ton! ❤️ My only other concern is as her feathers are coming in and her crest is growing it is really falling to the left and covers her eye...

4 week old Pekin. Sounds like a female to me? I’ve listened to a lot of videos and heard females start quacking earlier. but still second guessing. May be to soon to tell still too?

I have a 4 week old chicken, probably a New Hampshire red rooster. Always seems warm to the touch. Lays out sideways with wings out a lot and seems “hot”. Today in the sun within just a few minutes he was laying out and panting so I took him back inside. It was about 70 degrees out. And they’re...

I saw this duck in a park. With a male mallard but twice the size and I have never seen a mallard with this coloring

So I posted about this chick a few weeks ago! Just for fun... Any thoughts on her breeding at this point?! I got her as an Amerucana from TSC which is obviously not. I was leaning towards a New Hampshire but now that she’s growing she’s not getting more red like the New Hampshire’s typically...

Hi guys. I posted here 10 days ago about my duckling falling over and unable to stand. I added vitamin b complex immediately and she started doing better. She still has a pigeon toe and seems wobbly/weak and lays down more than I would like. I let her swim the other day and her left leg kind of...
