    Need help with my syrofoam cooler/heat pad incubator!

    Hi all, I just got 12 bantam hatching eggs. 6 are under my broody salmon Faverolle. My main goal is to use things that I have on hand and not procure any more things. I have read a lot on the internet, but not enough to make me feel comfortable, so I am seeking advice from any of you have...

    Who says cedar is bad for chickens???

    I live on Harstene Island near Shelton, 2 hours from Seattle. The best thing ever is a mix of fine bark mulch and peat moss. I've been doing this for 4 years now. The peat absorbs water and the mix doesn't turn into mud. The chickens love rolling around and dust bathing in peat. Even when...

    Cooked Rhubarb?

    I have been making rhubarb juice out of my bounty of rhubarb from the garden, but now I have a ton of pulp left that I either need to compost or give to the chickens. I have so much pulp, I've already put so much to good use otherwise. Now I'm sick of it and wonder if I can give the cooked...

    Sick Chicken, Please Help With Mystery!

    Well, she died today. After taking her to a vet and doing a home necropsy on her, the crop was not sour nor full of anything, no blockage, no canker. Her crop just failed to work. I'm not a vet, but many factors could be the problem: Bad genes, neurological disorder, etc. I haven't had good...

    Sick Chicken, Please Help With Mystery!

    Her crop did not empty last night, still puffy and full, can't smell anything sour. She ate a bit of banana, but isn't interested in eating anyway. She is still drinking. Massaging the crop. Thanks.
