    Remember, medicated chick starter feed will kill other types of fowl such as turkeys, guineas, ducks and geese. Use a flock raiser for mixed flocks.

    My dogs are demons.

    Whoa, I came late to this thread... so sorry for your loss. We had an Aussie/Lab who would catch our chickens and literally lick the feathers off their backs, but didn't kill them before we could get to them and put them back. A low level "shock" collar trained him to leave the birdies alone...

    Prolapsed Vent for 3 days - Where to go from here???

    Hi! I don't know if this is too late to reply or not... but I didn't see any posts that mentioned the best thing I found for prolapse. I have a Rhode Island Red who is 5 and a half years old and she is still a great layer. In her second season she developed a prolapse. Maybe someone mentioned...
