    Twisted Neck

    One of our pet male cresteds, Linny, has developed a twisted neck, and I'm not sure what to do, if anything.

    Every hen we have lost has been during daylight hours...our girls have always been cooped at night. We continue working to predator proof our hen yard, and although that is not as nice for them as free-ranging was, I feel better knowing they will be safe. And to compensate, we have made their...

    Help! I can't escape my ducks!

    OK Kackley33, I have to ask, how do you keep up with the mess? I can just picture the adorable little things following along at your heals...what I can't picture is keeping up with the mess they make ...or am I the only one blessed with VERY messy (and stinky) ducklings?

    Injured Comb

    Hi All! I am new to the board, and hoping you might be able to help. We just found one of our buffs covered in blood. It appears that her comb is torn and bleeding. Her whole head, and much of her chest, seems to be covered, yet she was fine just a couple of hours ago. The girls have been...
