    Help, I just did something stupid

    One of my favourite hens just died suddenly. I’m heartbroken, and I grabbed a couple of her last eggs and put them under my broody hen who is sitting on Duck eggs. She’s only been on them a couple of days so the chicks will be hatching first. Can I pull the eggs out as soon as they start...

    Help! Cock dragging leg

    Yes there is another roo, they have lived together since they were chicks never any problems, but I suppose it is that time of year. Its a bit of a stop-gap measure because we are trying to feed non GMO and the only one we could find became unavailable, but I guess GMO is better than this… I’ll...

    Thinking about getting ducks

    My chickens have been a disaster. They all have Coryza, and I’ve lost a lot and they don’t lay much, but I’ve decided to keep the ones I have until they die naturally. Anyway I found out that ducks don’t get Coryza? So it got me thinking, maybe I could get ducks? They would be kept separate...

    Coryza flock future

    I have a Coryza infected flock. I can’t decide what to do. I’m too fond of them to cull. Do I let them die out naturally, then start again with clean stock? Do I vaccinate new birds, and continue selling hatching eggs like I was? Can I even sell hatching eggs? Is it stupid to expand a...

    Gape worm parasite

    Shut them in a shed or cage. Grab them one at a time and firmly grip them around their bodies and wings. Then I usually stick my thumb in the top of the beak, my syringe goes at the back corner and squirt. I have had gapeworm in my flock… hope they get better OP
