    Found this chicken hit by car. Breed?

    Sorry, never saw this. She could not walk. Wouldn't use one leg but could move it. After a few days, she just limped horribly. Took about a month (long enough to keep her from my flock as well) but she slowly recovered and is now incorporated into my flock and is the sweetest chicken I have...

    Duck Housing for Muscovies

    As I recall, I didn't have to do anything with their poop outside of their little house. Just changed their bedding in their house as needed. Which, with ducks, is often. I now have 23 ducks and a very large enclosure. Which we clean very, very often still. :) Welcome!

    BIG question!!!!!

    Mareks disease is a very common disease in chicken flocks that is highly contagious. Chicks between the ages of five to twenty four weeks of age are most susceptible to contracting this disease. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/4414613 Mine was 6 weeks when it started.

    No, it's sibling. I am culling the sick chick in just a little while.

    I really, really don't want to cull this healthy chick. It's growing, eating, pooping normally, silly and sweet.
