My hen is 1 1/2 years old, hatchery Australorp/Jersey Giant (either a small JG or an Australorp with yellow feet). When I went to feed the birds their breakfast she was the only one not interested in food and would not come out of the coop. She just stood in the coop sort of hunched over...

I have a young Ameraucana rooster and as he's getting older, he has grown more and more 'incomplete' feathers on his shoulders. He's black, but those feathers look blonde. Upon closer inspection, the vane part of the feather is not developed. The shaft is there, but the 'barbs' are bald. Kind of...

This handsome fellah started crowing, which means he's got to go.. I've only got a few days before he'll end up in the freezer, since he's currently living indoors in a box. He's well mannered, doesn't love to be touched or picked up, but will allow it. I've hatched him myself from a...

Alright, 5:30. Our little rooster boy has started crowing for the first time and nonstop at that. I think the combination of the coop being locked (to break some of the wind, normally it's open day/night) and the red light (It's real cold tonight) set him off. Opened the coop, turned off the...

I have one white rock pullet in a my flock of 9 that has had diarrhea on and off since she was little and never really shook it. None of the others had any issues, it's just her. She has slightly curved toes and what can only be described as a patchwork comb (some spikes are as thick as a...

This is Ezri, she's currently 7 weeks old. She's a white Plymouth rock and generally speaking just a plain bird. She never really stood out, she was shy and reluctant to come out when she was just a chick. The other chickens sort of pushed her around. Until today... Today I noticed...

Does anyone know what kind of snakes in Alabama leave a bite with two large lacerations on top and two smaller ones on bottom? I think one of my dogs got bit by one. He's already licked the whole area bald, so it's been a day atleast. I'm washing both dogs and checking for further wounds and...

My son got recently diagnosed with sensorineural bilateral hearing loss. Around 8-9 months he started to talk some. He said by-by dah-ee (byebye daddy) a couple of times and we think he said 'kih-ee' (kitty).. He did that for a week or so, then stopped. He babbles and babbles and babbles, but...

I know not all breeds can be feather sexed, but hey, it beats just hoping for the best! RIR Girl RIR Girl WR Girl WR Girl BJG, really not sure, too darn poofy! BJG Boy, if their wings say anything at all.

I'm still unsure which way to go. The current plan is a 3x8 closed coop, with some windows and such. However, I'm still not sure. In the summer it's generally around the 95-100F mark, sometimes we go up to 105F. But, the winters can dip down to 20-30 degrees.. Snow is rare though.I'm afraid to...

Hi, I live in the beautiful town of Montevallo, Alabama with my two sons (12 months and 4 1/2) and their dad. I've grown up in Holland, where my mom grew our own fruits and veggies. She planted the seed for a love of self sufficiency. Now, I'm not about to start knitting socks out of the fur...

I have read our ordinance for Montevallo, AL dozens of times.. I have been aware of it for years, and I a realize it's never EVER enforced. Sec. 4-26. - Unlawful owner activity. It is unlawful to: (1) Abandon a dog; (2) Permit a dog or cat to run at large; (3) Permit loud and frequent barking...
