    Hen sick

    She could be mounting as she never had a first one. She is almost 1 year old. Do they usually lose weight during that?

    Hen sick

    Tonight her crop seems low and squishy but I could not appreciate a sour smell. Her poop is normal and she eats well now. Her abdomen falls hard but she is boney. This is day 3 of indoor vitamins and food. She feels better but I still think something is wrong.

    Night time water required for Ducks?

The mess they make with the water has soaked the run despite all attempts at neatness. I give up! No food or water at night any more. Just out during the day outside...

    How to keep run dry

    I have 18 chickens and 6 geese. They were raised together and share the run. The geese need to wash out their nose so they have a small heated bucket for that. Geese are so messy! The water splashes out or runs out of their mouths. I bought platic edging, put it in a circle, placed rocks in it...
