A few months ago a family friend gave us 4 of their birds that they couldn’t care for, 3 pullets and a young guinea fowl, after some research I found out about guinea mating practices and figured out that we had a male. I realized of course that since he had been raised with chickens he would...

Some random wild peahens wandered into my yard and are trying to hang out with my chickens, currently I’m keeping them separate, what can I feed the peahens that they will like?

Alright, I should’ve known, thank you. I guess if it’s a molt there’s nothing I can do. 🤷‍♂️

When most people hear this they are gonna think rooster, but he’s not doing this I have a hen who is about 9 months old and is losing feathers on her neck, but only on the front and bottom parts of her neck, ( a bit on the middle too ) it only started maybe last week, the pattern doesn’t match...

I have a 1/2 Sumatra 1/4 cubalaya 1/4 Easter egger rooster that is a little under 3 months old, that other day he was flapping around and hit his wind on some cinder blocks. I noticed his left wing seemed to have a couple of odd feathers sticking odd that were attached to what looked to be his...

Thank you!

I currently have chickens and hoping to get peafowl eventually ( as soon as possible ) I know that chickens can transfer black head and other diseases to peafowl through parasites, I heard that if you mix diatomaceous earth into your chickens feed it will kill the worms in the chickens system so...

14 pounds! WOW. I wish these birds were compatible with my current flock. For anyone who owns these, how agile are they? Like how high up do they like to roost and how high up can they roost without hurting themselves? 5ft? 10ft 12ft?

4 of the eggs have hatched, none of the other eggs show signs of popping but they were put in a couple of days later so I will wait to see if they hatch, although there is a bad smell coming from the nest.

Update: I was able to buy two 3.5 month old Fayoumi pullets from someone near me they have integrated into the flock well, they are getting beat up by the adults but are beating up our other pullets. Are rooster was excited to mate with them but has now decided they are children and he can’t...

Thank you all for your help, and although a nice offer I doubt ill be able to get to Tennessee, so I talked to Privett hatchery and a farm store who buys directly from them and neither had Fayoumi I could buy, I then posted a sign at my local farm store asking if anyone had Fayoumi they could...

Thank you, I went to check that out but it seems neither my state nor that breed are on that directory, so it was a dead end but thank you for your help.

I purchased an order of Egyptian Fayoumi in the mail but they arrived dead, I originally only wanted two hens but I would be happy to change that order if someone is selling them, the other option is waiting until July which I really don’t want to do. Anyone who is selling Egyptian Fayoumi...

Currently we have a momma hen raising 4 adopted chicks, while the hen was sitting on the nest we added a new rooster to the flock, the rooster has been mostly good towards our hens only having a problem with one of our hens at the start ( which we chock up to ptsd from our last horrible rooster...

To clarify I do give them food, they get an all around pellet, although the foraging for themselves is a much appreciated trait. My chickens also go into a coop that is closed at night. I live down near the river which means 24/7 I am surrounded by coyotes, raccoons, skunks, bobcats, and hawks (...

Last spring I ordered 2 Egyptian fayoumi, a golden Campine, and a Sumatra chick. I ordered the Egyptian fayoumis and Golden Campine because I read that they were fairly self sufficient chickens that could forage for most or all of their own food if given the space and would be the last to be...

Oh wait, I typed that completely wrong, he IS better, he is completely normal now.

It’s been a while and I haven’t said anything because his recovery has been slow, but he is not fully recovered and breathing well.

Here’s the link to the video

After I post this thread I am going to search BYC for anything similar to this, but I wanted to post this for anyone who might be able to immediately identify the problem. I had noticed a few times that my cockeral had a hard time breathing in the past after a lot of running, but I chalked it up...
