    Possible Sour Crop - Looking for advice

    She’s been spitting up on her own. I’ve been massaging her and it’s never occurred while I’m doing that. Her poop has been fine, they always look very normal. The odor is not noticeable in the mornings, definitely gets worse as she eats. They are eating Kalmbach Flock Maker crumbles. No...

    Welsummer vs Bielefelder Breed ID + Gender

    We have two chicks that we ordered from Murray McMurrray Hatchery that my husband and I cannot quite determine breed on. They are part of a mixed flock we ordered with several breeds of all females (supposedly). We know these two should be a Welsummer and a Bielefelder, but cannot figure out...
