Hello all. I recently bought four straight run assorted bantam chicks, who are about a month old now.
One of them (who I am affectionately calling Lucifer), started pecking the smallest of the four. I thought that if I gave them some time they would work it out, but eventually Luci drew blood...
Hi everyone.
A few hours ago, a family member found a raven lying in a driveway. It was apathetic and didn’t seem to be able to lift its head.
I ended up with it for the night. He can fly, although not for a long distance. Both legs are moving but one seems to be having muscle spasms. He...
Hello everybody. I’m not sure if this is the right spot to ask this, but it seemed like the most appropriate place.

I’ve had anxiety my whole life...

Hello, I am new to this so please feel free to correct me if I don’t post this right.
About three weeks ago I got back from vacation and noticed one of my hens was acting strangely. She is normally very healthy and active, but she was spending most of the day hunched over near the coop...
