In the world of raising chickens, birds and fish, we are always looking for an ideal feed that can not only meet the nutritional needs of our beloved pets but also take into account costs and sustainability. And dried black soldier fly larvae have emerged as a remarkable new star in this field...
Welcome to my thread! I decided to make my own thread to share my stories, pictures and get to know everyone here a little more.
I will try my best to give an update each week and share my latest photos!
You are welcome to do the same.
Everyone is welcome! Feel free to tag!

It’s that BirdTober time of year! :wee
For those who don’t know: BirdTober is a yearly art challenge, where, as its title suggests, you draw a bird for every day (or week, or every few days, whatever you can manage!) of October. Daily prompts are provided, but feel free to draw whatever bird-y...
Edit to add: I can also transport poultry equipment, like orders from Rogier Poultry Supplies.
I want to start a transport business. As a transporter, I would basically transport birds and/or small animals for breeders and buyers. A lot of people prefer transporters over shipping for a few...
This thread is for all caged birds and parrots!!!! I think there might already be one but it’s long dead and we were starting to hijack the dog thread so I figured I’d make a new one so we can continue the discussion here :lau
I used to have parakeets (budgies) but had to rehome them last year...
Hello.
I would like to have some advice, opinions, or whatever about small birds specifically - mainly about QUAILS...
...In order to try to get rid of my allergies, I plan to buy quails - probably Japanese Quails : I have severe allergies, and I am kind of really desperate to get rid of them...
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while but I’ve seen flick threads a bunch so I thought I should make one for my quail this will be where I post updates on my birds. When I get new birds sell birds or hatching and also just post pictures also can double as a place for chatting.
Hi everybody! I just joined BYC not long ago! I loveee it here, and everybody is so kind! I have a pet duck named Smokey, and he is known for his unique and loving personality. He really enjoys cuddles! We have our own YouTube channel as well! I would really appreciate if you subscribed, as it...
Hey y'all. I am new to BYC but am very happy to join this community. I have a pet duck that has been raised and lives outdoors with a flock of 4 other ducks, but he has taken a special liking to me since he was a duckling. He is a Khaki Campbell drake, and his name his Smokey. He sleeps on my...
Hello I am having a Red Vented Bulbul He is 2 years old showing some odd behaviour like Lethargy, Not Singing , sitting on perch or coming down sitting on floor corner with belly .
Feet’s warm and sleeping .
No energy sometimes falling on one side (like having pain in one feet)
Anybody please...
Hey all,
I’m sure we have all gone through the pain of losing a beloved bird. I created this thread in memory of my BO hen named Camacho. She passed 2 years ago today. She truly was quirky, and had the sweetest personality I’ve ever seen in a chicken. She was sneaky, and always managed to sneak...
So I'm thinking about building this Aviary, but I'm wondering if I'd need an inside one for them? During winter it can get between 27 and 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Would I need an inside enclosure for them or just put out small shelthers for them inside the aviary?
(Picture isnt mine, but this is...
So I've recently found this dog kennel (picture isn't mine) and I think it's pretty big and maybe could be used for other birds? I'm thinking maybe a trio of Japanese quails or just a brooding area for birds? If anyone comes up with what I can use this for I'd really appreciate it!! :love
We always hope the worst doesn’t come, but hoping doesn’t prevent disaster. In our ever more volatile world all you can do is try to stay one step ahead by preparing and knowing what to expect should the worst happen.
Evacuating is hard even if it’s just you and your immediate family, but it...
Just a tip for goose owners out there.
FORCING A BIRD TO REGURGITATE IS RISKY AS IT CAN CAUSE THEM TO ASPIRATE!
But If you can’t get them to a vet and if you need to do it in an emergency.....
Method 1.
Pick the goose up, hold them as far upside down as you can with one arm. Use your free...
Ok, breeding season is coming up, and I am busy getting all my poultry into breeding groups, setting up nest boxes etc. Looking forward to babies!!
This is my first time with Guinea fowl. I have 10, and they are about 10 months old, I got them last April as keets. They free-range on our 24...
I’ve decided to start a thread for my flock
I’ve seen these around and wanted to start one although cannot promise to be very consistent with posting in it
