chicken

Hi All! I'm hoping someone here can offer canker expertise. My Black Rock chicken (Marilyn) has been shaking her head and making strange gurgles in her throat for months now. The problem has come and gone several times as I have tried various things. I treated for canker (first copper...

I have 3 happy, young chickens and I love them but I have always dreamed of having pigeons. My question is can you keep pigeons and chickens together? If so what modifications would I need to make to their little shed to make it compatible for pigeons?? Supposing the two birds are compatible...

My pair of FEMALE king pigeons have hatched a chick!!!!..... A Japanese Bantam Chick!!! They are my only king pigeons......I was sad to learn they were not a true pair (as they were sold to me as male and female). These 2 females pared up and have had many nests and eggs......but obviously...

So normally I'd post at BYC, but they're being frustratingly unhelpful. So we have this production red hen who I thought was going broody. Turns out she wasn't! Her wing is very weird, I tried to open it out, one will, the other stops moving at the 2nd joint. If I move it around she begins to...

Here's some pics of my serama cock (Chickadee) and oversized frizzle hen (Chicklet)....I just love these guys....they are really awesome little birds! I need to get new pics of my cock as he was not fully matured in these and he has more white and nice long sickles now Serama by CSBeck, on...

A pair of my OBs hatched out this little guy Sunday while I was gone. I went outside Monday morning and found him all fluffed out and on the floor looking confused. From that moment he decided I was his momma. He snuggles under my hand like chicks usually do in the mom's feathers. When I sat out...

So my female pigeon (the one that was attacked by the hawk) often gets really broody. But since she is kept indoors with me as a pet, she has bonded to me, and has laid eggs for me but they are never fertile. I also have a pair or ringneck doves that keep breeding but they always abandon the...

Hi, Sorry to post regarding a chicken problem but you guys have been so helpful with all wild bird advice I have needed so I thought you may be able to help. I have recently be blessed with the task of rehabbing 4 factory farmed chickens that escaped the abbatoire and were rescused by a kind...

Hello... My mom has a chicken coop like this http://cgi.ebay.com/Chicken-Coop-Hen-House-Rabbit-Home-Hand-Crafted-JYC05-/250747455624?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item3a61b68888#shId at her house... brand new she never opened it... I was wondering if it would be a good thing to use for my...

Just thought I'd share :D Did this today. It's 3 inches wide, 4.5 high. Apparently my art teacher thought it was amazing I did this in about 10 minutes, haha. That's a Delaware rooster. I have a few more cutouts like that, so I'm going to do some more tonight and try to sell them at the...

A pigeon hawk keeps attacking the pigeons, 3 pigeons gone missing so far.... I had started to fly them an hour before sunset, thinking mr.hawk would be well fed by then from else whrere, but noooooooooo Have noticed that he does not re-attack if he misses. And the attack is while the pigon(s)...

Chick is 3 days old, he has pooped since he hatched.... but he didn't poop at all last night, I can't see any from him today- he is on sawdust so it's possible its just soaked in. He's a lone chick and is eating (or at least trying to) and drinking fine but his fluff above and below his vent is...

Freya is a booted bantam Sableboot, she is going to be an only child by the looks of things but thats ok, theres plenty of people around to love her! Shes one day old now and were having a blast! I can't get over how lively she is, eating drinking running around! Cheeping and pecking- shes...

Are chickens and pigeons ok to live together- not 'together' but in separate houses but being allowed to roam in the same garden. I'm thinking of getting a few chickens but want to make sure they wont/can't harm the pigeons, are there any diseases that could be passed between the two?

I was down in the chicken lot, taking some pictures of my teenage chicks that I just moved with the adults....and this cute little "designer" chick is sitting on the second step to the coop. So I stopped (standing about a yard away from him) and held the camera up, closing in on him the best I...

just thought i would put this up. made for chickens but would be great for pigeons with the right perches and such. nest boxes are going on the back wall and a window will go above the small chicken door, left of the door. thanks for looking, Sampson

You may be familiar with the pigeon and dove ebooks, now you can get chicken and duck! Shorter than the first because I'm not repeating lots of advanced information already covered in the pigeon book, easier to read, and your ducks will love you. PM me for the books!
