Hi there. Recently two of my chickens have been acting quite strange. They are around 5 months old. The first pullet my sister found one morning and she collapsed at her feet so we separated her, gave her some electrolytes and food and water. That lasted for over a week and she just died a few...

Hi everyone. I've had chickens for a while now but I've never really had the basic medications they need for common diseases. I just would get what I needed when I needed it but I'd like to switch over and try to have all the common medications at hand. Especially with what's going on now I've...

Hi there. My cockatiel fell off my shoulder last bight and now he is readjusting and grooming constantly. He screams when he thinks he’s going to fall so I’ve been trying to keep him very secure with me. We’ll take him to a vet if necessary but I want to see if you all had any opinions first...

I'm really hoping that I'm not the only person that's having this problem.. our male rabbit is mating my chickens! He's "attracted" to this one hen in particular and it's gotten so bad that I've had to separate her because she wasn't eating was huddled in the corner all day. She's better now but...

I've been trying to give away my d'uccle roosters for over a year now and I've only sold one.. no one wants them it seems! I'm not taking the culling route but I'm wondering if shelters would take them. It's not fair to them to be stuck here and I'd like them to have their own home with lots of...

Hi all, I have a rooster with scissor beak and I've noticed that he's starting to struggle with eating and grooming himself. I've been mushing up his food and making sure he has an egg to eat every few days for nutrition but his lice problems are getting worse. I've been putting some DE on him...

Hi there, 2 nights ago I heard some peeping from a chick but now I can't hear it anymore. I checked on it this morning and it was moving and peeping but now I went to check since it wasn't making any progress (it hasn't broken through the egg) and it's not moving or peeping. What should I do...

hi there! Yesterday I got my first incubator so if these questions sound dumb it’s because I’m very new to all this! My incubator has 6 water tunnels in the incubator for humidity and it says that I should fill them up but when it comes to the actual number for the humidity, it tells me that I...

I'm thinking a chicken pecked my poor roo really hard on his waddle and somehow cut it right now the middle. It's not bleeding crazy amounts but still I think it's serious, any ideas on what to do? We put some cornstarch on the waddle because that always helped temporarily with some other...

She's also losing feathers (could be molting too, not sure) and also bouncing up and down when she walks.. it's very weird. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Those pics were from 3 days ago, the swollen eye is worse and the other calmer eye is more swollen.

My one hen last afternoon I noticed was standing off to a corner and her comb was a bit purple. I went over and I picked her up and I noticed something was wrong straight away cause she hates people and she barely flinched when I picked her up. I put her in a cage and put some DE in her food and...

I read that you can cut the bump open but I really don't want to do that.... I've read that you can soak their foots in epson salts but I have no idea how much water and how much salts, how long to soak, do you use a gauze after, or is there any other way how to get rid of it?

Okay I'll admit I was stalking a bit... I noticed that one members profile said that 2 people were following them but there was only one profile there if you now what I mean.

Hi there. This fall I'm planning to get a hand-raised cockatiel. I'm wondering if I could keep it with my budgies (there's five and the cage is meant for big huge parrots. They're very spoiled :-P) with the cockatiel. Also what's unique and what are some things I should know before I get one...

Hi everyone. Today is a very very hot and humid day so we gave all the chicks a hose down and one of the chicks is chirping loudly and more often than normal and she’s shivering and stumbling everywhere. What’s wrong with her? I’m almost positive she was fine before her bath. We gave all the...

Hi there. Last year in July I got a dozen chicks and 5 were Silkies. Well 3 were roos and the other "hen" died so there's one left. Its name is Wessel. Wessel is not laying any eggs and he (I call it a "he" for no reason :-P) is not crowing either. I'm fairly certain it is a female because...

Hi there. Last night when I candled my eggs I saw that one was "in" in air spot so I left it be. In the afternoon it still had not broken through so I made a little hole so it could breathe (just a few days ago I lost two chicks because they didn't hatch in time and they lost air so I've been...

Is it possible? I would like to know if I can help my two possible quitter eggs.

Hi there. So about 2 days ago I think I was checking on my eggs under my broody and I heard two peeping and when I candled them I saw that they were in the air cell. Now about 2 days later there is no peeping from one egg and the other hasn't broken through. The one that is peeping is on day 21...
