small

I have a cream legbar pullet whose eyes look… odd. She’s absolutely healthy, preening, scratching, pooping, eating, drinking, etc. But her eyes are a strange shape, and I’ve noticed her blinking a bit and sometimes shaking her head. I got her & her 4 sisters from a guy who told me they were...

Only air access is thru the small door.

I have a question for anyone who can answer... The last four eggs that have hatched, all late, have been pure white quail, and smaller than most that have hatched so far. I have also had to help 2 of them hatch as there were shell issues trapping them in. The question: is there anything in...

Hi! A week ago 11/23 had picked up 5 baby chicks all said to be couple days old from Rural King - all very similar size when purchased: Sapphire Gem x2 Cinnamon Queen Silver Laced Wyandotte Golden Comet (I think is what they called her?) - is the mini Couple photos of her and the cinnamon...

I am totally stumped. I got 4 silkie bantams from TSC about 2 weeks ago, but one seems to be not growing AT ALL! It's name is MoonPie. 🥰 Yes, it has grown a bit, but it is SO MUCH smaller than my other babies. Fortunately they don't pick on it, but I'm curious as to why it's so much smaller. I...

I am OBSESSED with bantams. 😬 I need to have them in all colors, shapes & styles! I even had to get some babies that I didn't have a few weeks ago. lol My only problem right now is that I can't find anything that (is on the cheaper side) they can't slip out of to take them outside! My husband...

OK I’m not talking fairy eggs- but all of my ducks eggs seem to be getting smaller and smaller. Will not seem to be… They are. They’re the size of my chicken eggs and sometimes smaller. What could be the reason for this? They are not new layers. Their eggs are fertile and vine as I just hatched...

We have 3 baby chicks(we think?).. All are pretty much pure black. Black feathers that shine green, black eyes, black feet, and red and black waddles and comb.. They're extremely fast and a bit small.. Theyre around 3 or 2 months old? Their names are Happy Feet, Peep, and Ms.Peeperson (in order...

So basically i have a very small rooster about a month i think. And he pecks me. He pecks my fingers my toes my skin, anything related to me. First he only did it when he was hungry and wanted food, now he does it all the time. And since hes getting bigger his pecking hurts a lot more now. Is...

I'm very new to chicken raising so forgive me but first i bought 6 chickens, they're about 3-4 months old and I bout em way back in april. Decided id buy a few more chickens, bought 3, they're about 2 months old I think, definitely smaller than the original 6 chickens. Boy was it a mistake. At...

Just bought this little chook and gotta say its very cute. I don't know its age, gender or breed though. I think it may be a hen judging from its comb size and color but i could be wrong. Now I'm not an expert in breeds but I did a bit of searching and I think it may be a Plymouth/Barred rock...

Hi I'm Heather New mum to a human baby (8 months) and 2 aylesbury ducklings they hatched 5th april. I brought home 3, but We have sadly lost one a few days ago, one is really small and one is huge.. We are now worried about the small duckling as she doesn't appear to be gaining weight. They...

I have 6 Easter Egger chicks that are all the same age. Almost 4 weeks old. One is just not growing. It's about 1/2 the size of the others and only has a tiny bit of feathers on the tip of the wings. And the feathers it does have look weird. Should I be worried about this chick? Is there...

Mini egg basket...

There was recently a fire at my house and we have only 4 surviving birds. 3 chickens and one duck. Due to the damage to their respiratory systems and eyes we had to move them inside the house so they can be under constant observation. They are in a small cage but there is plenty of room for...

All my previous posts have been about my 3 duck eggs and all my concerns and issues that I’ve had with them. I have tried countless times to make my own incubator but getting a constant temprature and humidity has always been an issue. So I am finally going to invest in a small incubator. I...

So, in the woods close to my house there are all these ponds. There were 9 little ducklings with their mom there for a while. However, for a couple days now, the mom is no where to be seen. The ducklings are still quite small, they are downy and only about the size if a fist. There are also a...

I have a 8 week old bird who has been slow to develop. Smallest of the flock and stayed fuzzy forever. Finally is growing out its feathers and still is not developing any tail feathers!! Orange comb but red waddles Had grey belly and neck when small but that's disappearing quickly. Dark legs...
