I homebrew and my chickens love my spent grains. We tend to put it into small plastic containers and throw them in the chest freezer. It keeps the grain fresh and you can portion it out over many days. It also takes them longer to eat the frozen blocks of grain so it gives them something to do...

Ok, so we gave our poor little chick water and poly vi sol last night and this morning she is completely down and cannot move. She will not take water or anything. It's not looking like she will make it through the day. We don't really know what to do for her and we are planning on taking her to...

Thank you so much for replying. I will get to reading. Is this something that is contracted by humans? We have two toddlers that love our chickens and were out with the birds when we noticed this problem.

TaHello, we were watchin our 4 week old chicks and their mama scratch around this evening and suddenly one chick cannot lift her head. All of the other chicks look fine. Any ideas as to what this could be? They we're hatched from eggs that we bought locally and we're not vaccinated at all...

We are in California so if there is any such state it would probably be here. Would fish and game take them?

We do not have an incubator but we were going to get one for our chickens eventually anyway. I dont know how to tell how old the eggs are but there a ten of them and I know Turkey's can have up to 15. I guess we will watch for the parents to return. Any other advice would be appreciated as to...

That's what we thought. We deal with domesticated chickens and just tend to enjoy observing the wild turkey. If the parents do not return is there anything we should do?

and we While mowing the knee high grass on the back side of my property I uncovered a clutch of about 10 wild turkey eggs. We know they are turkey eggs from the size and we have seen the male and female for the last couple weeks. We have not seen the turkeys for a couple days but we know they...
