So let the girls out to roam this afternoon and noticed our 8 month old SF must be having some issues with diarrhea based on the soaked feathers around the vent and the crust built up around the vent as well. I've read that giving them Plain yougert might help, is there anything else I can or...

I've got a bird that exhibits signs of Coccidiosis and have treated her with Corid and Sulmet at different times. She responded better after the Corid treatments, however once off of either she back slides. She's now 6-8 months old and by all accounts should be over this type thing I would...

I'm fairly confident that my ee is a roo having been through this once before. He's feathering out a bit slower and the brown or reddish plumage on the shoulders are what I'm using to help form my conclusion. The Mille Fleur D'uccle is a new one for me. Not really sure what I should be using...

I can't ever seem to get a picture of her doing it since once she hears or sees me she gets up and startes walking around, but I'm starting to get concerned. She's a Cuckoo Maran that I picked up about 3 weeks ago. A week ago I started the girls on Corid after seeing signs of Coccidiosis...

I've been trying to find something other than Dumor and Purina feed for my girls. I'm not totaly against commercial products, but part of the reason we started raising chicks was because we wanted to get away from all the additives and chemicals that we have heard so much about being fed to the...

Okay, so of the 4 sexed chicks we picked up the EE has turned out to be a roo and being a newbie I'm questioning just what traits would identify this as a hen or a roo. What do you more experienced members think I'm holding onto...

Hi everyone. I've been talking about raising chicks for a couple of years now and went so far as to start building a hen house about 6 months ago. Picked up 4 sexed hens in may when they were all between 3-4 weeks old. I cannot thank you guys enough for the wealth of knowledge we picked up...

It's a gorgeous bird, but will cause problems for us if she turns out to be a he. It's about 16 weeks at this point. We are total newbies and are having trouble figuring out if we're going to be getting eggs or complaints from the neighbors since we're not technically allowed to have them...
