Hi! We are looking for 3 bantam chicks. Would anybody be open to splitting a tractor supply order next month or maybe next spring?
We are also looking for porcelain d’uccles.
Thanks in advance! 😊
Help! Our duck Walnut was lost to a preadtor today. We came outside to the sound of our dog violently barking, and after counting all of the ducks, they were all there. An hour later, she went missing. Some of her feathers are spewn across the yard, but there’s no trace of blood or any other...
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)

Hello! Three weeks ago our chickens and ducks had roundworm. We immediately treated them with Verm X for a week and a half. We did not see anymore for the past while, then there were tons in the ducks poop!!! How can I get rid of them? I’m worried it’s in their environment and that we have to...
Hi! Our mom ducks are fighting over babies. They were fine for the first week, but know they are arguing. There are nine babies, I think that’s enough. Any ideas?
Well… our chickens have roundworm. We are deworming them and they are coming out in their poo and on their eggs. A couple of questions :
1. Can we eat the eggs?
2. Can us or the ducks get worms?
3. How should we get rid of them completely?
4. How long does it take to rid of them?
Thanks...
Hello! Our Black Indian Runner suddenly went lame, and now there are pink dots on his feet. He is also missing a tow nail. Is it bumble foot? A sprain? His leg is not hot, and it feels the same as the other. His webbing is also slightly frayed.
