HELP I just fed my whole flock of chickens and ducks avocado. I made an avocado, lettuce, tomato, egg, mayonnaise, onion, and sourdough sandwich. I didn’t like the sandwich and gave it to my birds completely forgetting that avocado was toxic! what do i do?!?! i have big ducks and a variety of...

I got this chicken about 30 min ago from some people who needed a home asap (she was all alone). Now that i’m home with her and gave her a bath because she had poo on her feathers, I can see that her lower vent is extra large and round. She is also pooping clear-ish liquid. Any advice?

I have two 10.5 week old silkies, one of them started crowing, and the other I'm really hoping is a girl, but Is starting to look like a rooster. Any guesses? I know it's too early to know but I really want to have some incites!!

It always sucks to end up with a bird that's negatively impacting your flock when you want to keep it. At the end of the day, the aggressive one should go because he will continue to cause problems with current and future roosters. I've had good luck giving up roosters on craigslist. Just make...

I've had 2 roosters with 8 hens (free-range in a large-ish backyard) and it was probably the best state of my flock. They didn't really interact with each other and I never saw them fight, only crow offs. I got them in separate years, they didn't know each other before. It depends on how your...

How exciting! Those polish are going to be great! I've never been let down by an australorp or polish. :woot

Penguin, Barbie, Sumo, Ham, Tumble, Loofah, Tang, Oat, or Bucket. These are the kind of names I like😅🤷‍♀️

This is always my favorite part of spring! Good luck!!:love

So much interesting information! I enjoyed reading. :love

Such great detail! It's always good to appreciate the little details on your birds.:love

When I was 13 I set a brooder up for 5 chicks in my room and slept in there until they went outside, I'm fine, I'm sure you will be too.🤷‍♀️😅

I'm in Portland Oregon!

Best of luck, I hope you're able to keep him!!:love

The only problem is that I live in Oregon, and it gets below freezing in the winter. I had asked for silkies and the breeder didn't mention any chances of getting a sizzle. I had already planned on giving them extra care for the winter because silkies aren't very hardy, but I've noticed she gets...

I totally understand the frustration. Not cool that someone would lie about their chicken's quality. On the bright side, my messed-up chickens tend to be the nicest.🤷‍♀️

It happens to the best of us. When I was first starting with buying from non-hatcheries, I purchased 2-4 dozen Araucana eggs to hatch for quite the price. Unfortunately, only one hatched (probably my fault because I was a beginner), and I'm pretty sure she's an Ameracauna anyway.😂 At least she's...

Wow, those are stunning! Is it a specific type of Ameraucana from cackle? Just wondering how I get those!

I'm not super familiar with silkies, but I've owned them. The pure breeds in my experience usually don't have those kinds of wing feathers, so I'm guessing it's mixed. I really just wanted to tell you that the chick is super cute!!:love
