I wanted to thank everyone who helped me last year (2014) to guide me through attempting to repair "Answer" who had the twisted tibia. I have NO doubt if I was able to treat another two weeks he would have been 100% but to all who say it can't be done, here are his legs today!!!!! A year and 3...

I am wondering anyone has encountered anything like this before. My poor you ld silkie pullet got scalped by a bully 4 days ago, pretty severely. She has not started Laying yet and she has 3 silkie buddies. She is recovering from the scalping part and is no longer in shock, but absolutely...

I am feeling so low. Most of you know I am experiencing terrible luck this year with my eggs and babies. Backstory for last night, we have company coming so been trying to keep house clean. Also my screen door fell off and I finally got it back on but not properly. It is one that doesn't...

Hey guys, I have a friend that did an assisted hatch last night with a hatchling at day 30, was malpositioned. It is very lively, all blood was absorbed, but it had some unabsorbed yolk that it tore open kicking. Also has feet and legs are curled but not nearly as severe as some I have seen. I...

Found these little guys dumped at our towns local pond, can give me info on what breed or sex! Been rolling around for last 2 hours trying to rescue!

Was looking out over the back fence tonite, and there were a couple deer in the field behind. Dog didn't see them at first, but Question always watches me, he craned his head to see what I was looking at, then spotted the intruders! The dog is really observant of the birds, well Question went...

I am really feeling down, one my yearling girl babies just got spooked and flew into our sliding patio door! She just started coughing up blood immediately and died in my arms! :hit

I am just bumfuzzled! I got those 3 to 5 eggs way back when, when Garden Peas got hers and nothing since. Puzzled. (By the way, has anyone heard from GP? She ok?) I got home and still nothing although a couple look like they may have droopy wings. Sheesh. No hidden nests that I see. Hard...

I had seen these two hens on Craigslist. They are advertised as silver pied yearling hens $75. This is the picture the guy sent when I asked for pics. I thought silver pied would have more white? I was ready to jump on these and even make a long drive but I hate it when pictures are not...

Been talking on my Kansas forum about my peahen. I know she has been "off" for a few weeks. She has only been coming out of the coop rafters late evening, almost bedtime and its been gorgeous weather this last week. She is walking like she is in pain and I just was able to catch her to dose...

I was disheartened to find the other hen I got from my friend, which I thought was ib, must be the daughter of the blind cameo hen, as a couple weeks ago I found she had gone blind in 1 eye. Yesterday I see both eyes are compromised, she was trotting around the garden but I threw treatson both...

Ever since last fall, I noticed I have a hen that does that choking type motion right after she eats. I think she must eat too fast or has digestive issues(boy do I know the feeling). Would possibly adding coconut oil to their feed help with this now that its warming up or does anyone have any...

Ok it doesn't show very well at all, but would it be possible this hen is from my silver pied boy? Mom was straight in. It might not show well but I noticed couple weeks ago she has a very very faint dusting of white on one side. Would silver pied be hidden that well by IB mom? She will be...

I was browsing thru Craig's list last night. I think its kind of fun to see what's in other areas. I found this guy, so pretty! Disregard this link, see post below blue creek farms. Doubt the poor boy would appreciate coming up and freezing his honey off though! ;)

I have no idea on Angel, my white peacocks parentage. Can anyone tell by looking and color? He is developing a lot of yellow in his train up by the pin feathers. His legs and beak are very light color. Feel free to make guesses as I am clueless.

Here are some pics of my baby gang. Zaz identified 2 boys and 4 girls in early December and I think that's what I have. I have one that's very indeterminate looking to me. The boys are doing wonderful, the two youngest were looking a little off. I Sevin dusted them and gave everyone a dose...

Well I went to check on my 6 babies today and brought them all out in the sun. I have one that looks really ruffly so am going to keep her in with Annie, the other smallest girl. Looks like 3 girls, 2 boys and one I am not sure of. They must be getting picked on, the head crest is...

This is just a question to while away the hours so if there are more important threads, please take care of ill birds and stuff first. I was just wondering about little chicks that die of stress/broken heart? Do you think tube feeding them would work until they come out of their funk? The...

I was sitting in the kitchen when I noticed our 3 outside cats staring intently toward the back fence. I looked to see what they were looking at, and our resident red fox was making the rounds. Sis was at the grocery store, she drove up 5 minutes later and said she heard awful cat screeching...

Anyone have any ideas other than separating everyone on how to tell whose egg belongs to which hen. I especially need to watch this spring/summer because I have a blind cameo hen and know not to breed her. I don't think she lets them mate her anyway because it terrifies her but just want to...
