Rouen duck?

I just read that mice won't come near peppermint. Anyone else heard of this? I assume it will work with rats too? I'm going to crush up peppermints or perhaps get peppermint oil and put around the chicken feed, etc. ????

How do you give it? Thanks Valerie

Do you think it would be easier for a cross beak chicken to drink from?

I give mine alfalfa too. I usually just 'clean up' around the barn and put it in their run. They love it. There's not much the chickens don't like Valerie

I fix him warm oatmeal and yogurt. He can't eat bread with the others:( I hadn't thought of soup. I'll have to try that. I sometimes soak his food (laying crumbies) in warm water. I also share warm fresh cows milk with him. Yes he's a tad spoiled! haha They also like clabbered milk. Do...

I have a 9 month old cross beak rooster. He seems to be doing well. I do keep food in a deep dish and trim his beak occassionally. I am looking for other food ideas on to feed him with his 'handicap'. Why is it that animals (chickens, cats, cows,etc.) with special needs are the sweetest...
