    Gape worms, respiratory or choking?

    She’s completely fine now! I kept her inside for about 24 hours, fasted her (except for warm water, electrolyte water and grit), and kept her in a warm, dark room. The next morning I gave her some cool coconut oil (so it was firm) as she was still a little wheezy. When I got home from work I...

    Hello all

    Hello everyone! My mother and I have been talking about getting chickens for years, but now we are seriously considering it (after a new Tractor Supply Company opened in our town, it just seems like divine intervention!). We are still in the planning stages right now, but I was hoping that we...
