    Rabbits are a commitment, not impulse gifts for Easter.

    Every year, breeders and bunny mills churn out baby rabbits and other small animals for consumers to buy on impulse for their Easter baskets. And every year, consumers realize after the holiday that caring for them is a whole lotta work, which leads many to abandon the animals or pass them off...

    Northern California (Sacramento County) 4 Pekin Ducks abandoned by owner

    Hey there, I am helping a friend whose elderly neighbor lost his home and moved into his car. He left behind 4 Pekin ducks who were his pets. They are about 2-ish years old, and they are thought to be males. There have been no babies over there since he got them, so they're not a mixed-sex...

    Duck left behind this winter in southwest Missouri

    Hello all! There is a beautiful medium sized duck that has been left behind by his usual brown and green flock. I’ve lived here for years, I always joke wondering if he/she knows they look different from all the other ducks they hang with — they always leave&come back to the pond but this year...

    PLEASE HELP - CHRONIC BUMBLEFOOT

    I’ve never posted here before but I just rescued a duck a couple of days ago and he has very large bumps on his feet. I don’t know much about the previous owners or his behavior before I rescued him but from what I have observed he has no other symptoms of illness. I don’t have an avian vet...

    Hand raised Buff Orpington Roosters are in need of help finding a new home.

    It happened again- rescue idea?

    Hey y'all! So it happened again... I walked into a feed store (this time it was TSC) for something completely not chick related and happened to see dying baby chicks... this is how I got into chickens... and how 30% of my flock expanded. 🤦‍♀️ I'm not sure if these little guys will make it, but...

    Pics of Development Stages of Guinea Fowl?

    I am wanting to compare my keet's development (size) to the average keet to be reassured that it is growing as it should. I understand that there are a few factors that could influence a keet's development, but maybe there is a standard scale one can go on? I have been searching on this website...

    Savage mini dinosaur - a day in the life of a keet.

    The keet (26 days old) showed me in person this morning, just what little savages fowls can be. It caught a gecko and, after knocking it about a bit, swallowed it whole. I already knew fowls to be so, but to witness it just a few inches from my eyes is a little... well... I can't think of the...

    Rescued ducklings

    Last week I got two ducklings from a neighbor that didn’t want them anymore. The kid had convinced their mom to let them get a couple of ducklings just to make their dad mad and now were trying to get rid of them. One I think is a fawn and white Indian runner and the other maybe a khaki...

    My husband and I have taken in 2 ducklings and a young chicken. The previous owner found them to be to much work and was horrible neglecting them. The smaller duckling is missing fuzz on it's neck and has dark patches around his eyes. Can anyone help with what this is? They said the ducklings...

    Rescued Farm Turkeys

    My cousin took four juvenile turkeys from a farm ( I don't know how, I didn't ask ) and I took them in cause why not; I like poultry. Anyways, one was stuck user a food dispenser at the farm and sadly died from dehydration but the other three are doing okay but they're older than expected so the...
