    Raising and caring for ducklings

    There was controversy about this on-line. I heard to not let them out until 3 weeks, and I heard you can let them out right away.

    New suggestion for protruding vent

    Got a 4 week old blue orpington with a protruding vent. Never had vent problems before so I came on here to research. I have put witch hazel on it for four days, and I don't see any change. Now what?

    Bumble Foot?

    There is a surgery on here that you do. We just did it in August for one of our hens. It took two weeks being isolated and cleaned. One more week and she was healed. I now keep a regular eye on their feet. I'll look and see if I can find the link for you. There is a "natural" link on here about...

    Guineas won't leave backyard!

    We live in the woods, but keep our guineas in a kennel. They are trained to come home every night. However, we lose a lot of females when they start laying eggs. I guess the coyotes get them. We are considering tagging the females legs and not letting them out when they lay eggs. Suggestions?
