Hi. My chicken is a 8 month old Jersey Giant and her pupils are foggy and mostly white and her eyes seem to bulge out of her head. She runs into things and doesn't react if I wave my hand infront of her eyes but it does seem like she can see a bit, she can walk out of the coop? Not sure if she...
Hi everyone! I have never raised a turkey before, and I was just wondering of someone could help me! Is it okay to get a baby turkey (a girl) with about 7 other baby chicks? Can they live together when they're older? We have plenty of coop space and a very large free range space.
Thanks!
Hi everyone. I'm getting a female turkey in the spring, time to start researching!
I have a large coop with 13 hens already and they free range with lots of space.
Can I keep them together?
Thanks so much! Have a wonderful day.
Hi.
Something's been picking off my chickens... and I'm wondering just what?
My chickens free range all day, of course we make sure they don't wander, but we have never had a problem. They ALWAYS come back to the coop. All of a sudden, Tuesday, two of my three month old EE's didn't come...
My friend wanted to know what was happening to her chickens. One by one, they just keep randomly dying. They're full grown hens, and they first start to slow down. Then they just randomly sit around, then die. What is this???
Rest in piece Houdinni! I always have loved you, my little magician. Houdinni was a Splash Dutch, show quality. We rescued her & two other SQ bantams on October 31st,2010. She was a great mother, and great friend.
Apparently my dad found her dead on the floor of the coop. No idea what happened-...
So we got Spruce in August last year... she was probably like 6 weeks then. Spruce is an Angora/Mini Rex...
Spruce thinks she's having babies She hasn't been in contact with any males, just my other female rabbits (Yes, those are girls. They've had babies) So, she is digging in her cage, picking...

I hatched Peanut out on July 22nd 2012... the egg she came from was not from my birds. She's probably a mix, but I wanted to know if she had a registered color (Just wondering, I wouldn't show her). I was told by one of our members here at BYC she was an OEGB. Thanks for any input! (Yes, she's a...
Isabella is a RIR.... not pure of course :). We got her and a black chick, Midnight, a week before my 4 ordered chicks came. I couldn't wait so my mom said I could get them :). 2. days later the black chick (Midnight) died. We got another chick, Delilah. Turned out to be a rooster... but...
I have a cockerel who was born this spring at my school, Laker. He is a leghorn mix. He hasn't gotten the courage to crow before this morning. July 22nd, I hatched out 6 chicks. 3 are boys. So they're 1 1/2 months old. I wake up at 7:00 am to get ready for school, when I heard Laker trying to...
I hatched this pair July 22nd, 2012. I'm believing they are brother and sister since their eggs looked identical, and they look alike. I got the eggs from a person who lives in my town. They're probably mixs, but they came from a white pointy egg and have pinish legs. Single combs. Also, the...
Just about 10 minutes ago my broody was in the woods with her 6 chicks, just scratching around close to the edgeof the woods when a huge brown,black, and white hawk attacked her. I thought it was just my rooster learning how to crow, but after I ran into the woods and threw rocks at it, it flew...
Hi all! I hatched Teddy out July 22nd. So she/he is 31 days (I believe...). We got eggs for free from a lady about 10 minutes from where I live. Teddy was pretty much dead after she/he hatched, not moving, all cold. I put Teddy under the broodys (since she/he wasn't) and Teddy became all lively...
We hatched these 6 chicks July 22nd. They are all mixes, since the eggs we got were from a lady with a bunch of birds free ranging. I know all the mixs except the two bantams, so if you think they look like something... that would be appreciated!
