    Impacted crop

    Plus i have 70 chickens and 8 ducks so far. The Cornish are the only ones that have large gizzards after eating. Only had 3 chicks die but that was due to other chickens suffocating them. So i feel I'm doing pretty good for a first timer and jumping into something i knew nothing about.

    Impacted crop

    Ok I'm like 3 months new to chickens. Just making sure i understand what a crop is. I call it the gizzard or the pouch in their throat. Pretty much the place where the food is broken up by the pebbles right? Sorry if i sound stupid. I'm just trying to learn.

    Spoiled Baby

    Spoiled Baby

    Can ducklings swim in the bathtub?

    My ducks are about 5- 6weeks old. How long should i leave them in. And also one of them is favoring a leg. Any suggestions. I assumed the water would be good therapy for him

    Spring 2017 first timers post!

    I learned this lesson today. Woke up and the chickens we're pecking at others to the point of bleeding. Although i didn't cut the beaks i had to find a solution. I separated them and gave them toys

    The Science Of Feeding Grit To Poultry

    Now is the grit a must have? I assumed they would get what they need from the ground once they got outside. I want to try to just let them live a natural life without the things the people try to assume they need if you know what i mean. My bf wants to clip their wings but i just want them to...

    when to put chicks in the coop

    Yes i have a garage. Isn't that too cold for them though. It's been below 20 a few days this week during the night. Or are you saying to let them roam for a few hours during the day?
