    How many coloured eggs did you get today?

    We just got our very first blue egg this week from our cream legbar! All of our other girls are brown eggers so, needless to say, I was very excited :celebrate

    Teenage Roo Behavior

    Thank you all for your comments! I mean absolutely no disrespect but culling is not something we'll be considering, as our birds are pets to us. Worst case scenario, if the aggression continues, we would look to rehome him, but I don't know that we are at that point yet. Are there any tactics...

    Help - Coccidiosis Treatment Questions!

    Thank you so much! How do you ferment food? They free range during the day in our fenced in yard so yes, the majority of the yard is exposed to lots of air and plenty of sun. Things have been much dryer fortunately, so I'm hoping the coccidia issue will have resolved. I also did a thorough...
