And went outside to see this. What do I get for keeping him from being a chicken snack? Turned into a cardinal snack. No clue how they even got in, but this guy was too tired/panicked to fly out of the door with his girlfriend.

I have 13 silkies, all about 8.5 weeks old. They are in a 10'x20' run during the day with 3 hens and 12 other chicks that are between 5 weeks and 9 weeks old. Integration went great, and we are going to have their run space doubled by the weekend after next. There's some clutter, but honestly...

I currently have a single muscovy or muscovy mix in the incubator. I know if he hatches, he will need some friends. Since muscovy are a different species than mallard derived, and therefore don't necessarily speak the same language, so it's better to have muscovy friends for muscovies, mallard...

Over the past week the Easter Peeps have been spending time outside. Today I noticed one with what looks like blood in stool. I think they're too young for shedding intestines. They've also not had berries or anything red. I have corid on hand. If I treat these guys, do I begin treating the...

Little guy just hatched 4 hours ago. He (or she) is missing a toe on the right foot. Can't really stand up, and every time she flips onto her back, her legs sort of spasm and then she just... quits. Her eyes close, and she starts taking on a dead chick pose. I have her in a little bowl right...

After lurking for several months, I'm excited to join! I've been around chickens a little bit in past, and have wanted my own flock ever since. This is my first time with my own chickens. We started by hatching a few eggs from my beighbor's pastor and some ordered silkie eggs. Having done my...
