    Problem with Rouen ducks bill, looks like it's shedding too much, or worse

    Here's a picture from this morning. It still doesn't look perfect but you can tell it's helping flake off the dead dried part and is revealing fresh new bill. I'm continuing with at least 2 applications of Neosporin and occasionally the vetracyn. He doesn't mind the gel, I think he likes it Il...

    Problem with Rouen ducks bill, looks like it's shedding too much, or worse

    What Size No Crow Rooster Collar Should I get?

    I got 2 sizes for my silkie and it didn't work, seemed kinda cruel. My rooster would flop around backwards trying to get it off, and even when he would stop it wouldn't stop him from crowing at all, it was still very loud and you feel bad for the rooster. We had to give him to a rooster rescue...

    Building a run - advice on security, hardware cloth needed

    I dug a foot down and put hardware cloth on the bottom and covered it up with a foot of dirt. There are no gaps so nothing can dig under and through. The chickens have enough space to dig and never see the galvanized 1/4" hardware cloth.
