    Hen has a hole under her vent

    Found this hen with dirty feathers and since I'm treating another with vent gleet I went ahead and clipped the soiled ones away when I found this dime sized hole. I didn't find any maggots or bugs, no mites either. The entire area is inflamed, and feels like it's full of fluid. Did an egg rupture?

    Can 3wk old turkeys go outside to the brooder with heat plate?

    I've got 3 royal palm turkey babies that are 3wks old. My outdoor brooder is inside the chicken coop and can have the heat plate move with them. Since I'm in north GA we've gotten some 90° days and nighttime it doesn't drop below 60° (most nights it's 70°). Do babies need to stay inside with...

    Snapping Turtle Attack

    I have a very large pond on my property and it has a steady influx of snappers. Out of all my ducks and geese, there is one who has terrible luck. 2 months ago she was bitten on her right foot. Broke one toe and shredded her ankle. My normal vet saw her and 2 months of crate rest she's back...

    Best way to market a hobby farm?

    I've recently started selling eating and hatching eggs as well as day old birds when I have them. I don't have any social media or the knowledge of the forbidden tiktok to know where to start. So far the only method I have is posting to Craigslist and having a sign up at a local thrift shop in...

    Solid black chick turned into a blue merle ❤

    Posting purely to gush over how pretty this little roo is turning out 😍 reminds me of our blue merle Australian shepherd. The only thing I know for sure is his dad is a lavender buff orphington. As for hens, could be silver laced, golden laced, red black laced, or columbian wyandotte.

    Reoccuring bumble

    My hens are a little over a year old and it seems all the sudden half of them have gotten bumble. Mostly minor that I was able to YouTube how to fix and got it done without surgery. But even after taking down high roosting bars and keeping the nesting area thick with bedding for soft landings...

    How to keep hens out of the chick feed

    My broody hen hatched 5 chicks about 4 weeks ago. They have been raised inside the coop since hatching but up until now they have been separated into a smaller area. Now that everyone is together, how do I keep my adult hens from wasting my chick feed? They are ignoring their normal food and...

    Ideas to Upgrade the Coop

    I wanted to get other opinions on the welfare of ducks and geese having access to a swimmable pool inside their enclosure at night, plus overall if changing the bedding to pea gravel would work for cutting down on the gross. During the day they have a 3-acre pond and are able to free range, but...

    Rooster ID

    This rooster showed up last week and I'm concerned he has had a rough life up until this point from the way he looks and acts. (We have neighbors who have a concerning number of roosters and old hens who are left to fend for themselves outside the coop) He has long slender legs, thin body...

    Hello from northwest GA!
