    All purpose flock feeder

    Hello! I had a 5 year old rooster die, then another has developed bloody diarrhea. After getting help from another post, I had a sample tested to rule out worms and coccidiosis. The only other conclusion that we came up with (since this is only affected roo’s) is that it must be the feed. I...

    Dying/sick roo’s only

    Hello! Thanks in advance for your help. One of my roosters died this morning and another is sick. After further examination, I noticed that they have blackish/white non odor pasty butt. Their poo is literally hard and stuck to their vent. NONE of the hens are sick and they do not have any...

    Hello! My duck has a broken tibia, and fibula! She needs to convalesce for at least 6 weeks. Would swimming hurt or help heal her? Thanks in advance.

    Wry Neck/ Diarrhea

    Hi! Thanks for the advice. I am giving him the recommended dosage of 400IU of vitamin E. I have added the yogurt and he is still eating his chicken feed. if the selenium and E doesn’t fix/cure this wry neck, what should I try next? Can he just continue to live like this?

    Call duck hatching eggs

    Thank you! I checked eBay and there weren’t any. Silver flying mallards would be great. McMurtry wants a fortune, like 70+ for a dozen. Kind of steep when she can’t keep them.
