    Heart failure

    Just bad luck. Sometimes chickens die from stuff like that for no obvious reason and sometimes no way for us to prevent it. You can reduce the likelihood of issues by limiting treats but even then some birds are going to have issues no matter what you do or don't do

    Bible Reading Thread!

    I just don't celebrate most holidays, not because I think they're bad necessarily, I just don't care and would rather put my energy towards other things lol. I might use easter as an excuse to offload bless my coworkers with some extra eggs (I have easter eggers so they are naturally colorful)...

    Young Chocolate Orpington rooster temperament

    Depends, he likely will show more interest in the girls eventually but his overall temperament may or may not change. No telling when it comes to living animals, you will just have to wait and see

    getting baby chicks, any advice?

    Or use a quail chick waterer as it's wide enough for a bird to drink but too narrow for them to drown in even without marbles

    Clanker answering calls at my vet, a vent thread

    I would go in person to tell them what happened and how it made you feel (calmly and politely of course). If enough people complain they might do away with it, if they don't then at least they can't say they weren't warned. AI is only really good for simple stuff (like checking when your...

    Chick that fell off a truck. Sex? Breed? Age? Anything?

    Looks to be female and not a meat or production breed and of egg laying age but that's about all I can say. I would try and see if you can find her owner as she's probably from a smaller farm

    Looking to change layer feeds - Opinions needs

    That particular theory is not true though. It was spread by people who didn't understand that hens usually take a break for fall and winter and usually restart once days get longer and they naturally lay less as they get older. If such a drug existed never mind trying to make people's hens lay...

    Things you wish you could say

    It might be? I also know he hates cream cheese so idk if he'd like that recipe As for me I love lumpy mashed potatoes (I'll eat smooth but I prefer the texture of lumpy) with the skin 'cause I want all the vitamins and fiber the potato has to offer and enjoy the earthy flavor they add. I do...

    Things you wish you could say

    He knows where eggs comes from lol, he just has odd takes (which I completely disagree with) on certain foods. Main one I can think of offhand is he likes mash potatos but only the instant ones out of a box, he hates homemade

    (I was wrong!!)Pretty disgusted with Murray McMurray Hatchery

    You can't make a hen go broody, either she will or she won't. As for putting her back outside, do the see but no touch method for slowly introducing her back to the flock
