    New Chicks please help

    I got 11 new chicks in from a hatchery; 5 Sultans, 2 Porcelain D'Uccles Bantams, 2 Marans, and 2 Easter eggers. Easter eggers can be tricky because they are a mix but I am hoping someone has had one like this before. Can anyone show me what it will look like when it is an adult? As you can...

    Sneezing chicken

    Few of my chickens had died and they showed the same symptoms of sneezing. My only chicken leg is happy, healthy and broody and also it's raining outside. I saw her sneezing. Is this a part of broodiness? Or a part of Rainy season? Or a disease about to kill here?

    Female Mallard bill color change

    Hello. I know that mallard ducklings have a black bill that changes to orange w/ some black when they get their feathers in. I am wondering if the bill continues to change after adulthood. Does some of the black fill back in sometimes? I took a picture of a female mallard at 4 months old (left)...

    Coccidiosis in Adult Hen? Help!

    All 7 of my chickens are 15 months old and appear healthy (visually)--eating, drinking, moving around, etc. However I noticed a small amount of gelatinous blood in two small wet poops (kinda discharge-y looking) presumably from one of my birds. Looked more like blood than intestinal lining...

    I have a 2 yr old duck. She started coughing 3 weeks ago. The first week I believed she just was eating her scratch too dry so I stopped putting it on the ground and in a bowl with water. 2nd week I believed it was a cold so I got her poultry booster and hoped it would go away on its own.

    When is an asymptomatic adult chicken “overloaded” with Coccidia?

    Hi all, I just got some fecal results back from a lab and one hen had a coccidia count of 60 - I’m wondering what this means and if I should even treat, because some of what I’m reading online says adult chickens often have some coccidia eggs in their system. This is a Rhode Island Red who is...

    How much are adult Isa Browns worth?

    Horrible way to spend a birthday. Neighbor's dog got out and killed my Isa Browns. Well, it's coming down to either the dog dies or the man owes me a lot of money. Google isn't giving me good answers, these Isa Browns were at their prime laying age. Exactly how much is one Isa Brown hen? I...
