    Oats with propionic acid?

    Hi, I'm wondering if oats with propionic acid added to them are safe for hens, as they are so cheap compared to the single bags of oats without propionic acid. Is this safe for my hens?

    Help with prolapse

    Hi, in my first thread about this topic I think I only got one reply so hoping I'll get the help I need in this one. So on Friday my buff orpington pullet was laying her first egg.

    Hi today her vent is less inflamed. But she keeps pushing it out again. I read in a book to syringe cold water on her vent to stimulate muscles. So i did that and gave her a calcium and vitamin d tablet. How do I stop he pushing it out whens he needs to poop? Help please.

    Prolapsed egg

    This is her now. Will all this go in? She seems in good form and I set up a roost for her in the mud room.

    Prolapsed egg

    There could have been tearing. I'm really not sure. It seemed normal enough when it was coming out. I will send some pics after I come back from town. I'll put vaseline on her aswell. She has electrolytes and she loves the bsf larvae. How long could it take for the prolapse to retract? And what...

    What bread Of goose is the best to own?

    I love my embdens, their temperament and the blue eyes! They don't lay too many eggs that you will be overwhelmed with goose eggs but they lay enough. And they're not very loud. I mean the ganders are sort of piercing but the geese are very quiet.

    Foxes

    Hi, due to government restrictions my fowl are locked in their coops to try reduce spread of bird flu. Recently I have seen a pair of foxes in the field beside my runs at night. When I shine a light into the field I can see their eyes. There is always 2 together. 2 weeks ago my dog Ben had to be...

    Do I have to dig the wire skirt into the ground or can I just sit it perpendicular to the runs with soil on top?

    How much space do 13 chickens need

    So we have decided on moving all my poultry to an opposite spot to where they were. There is a lot less fox activity and will look better. We're going to go for a 20 x 20 ft walk in run. They have a walk in 6 x 8 ft coop so hopefully they will have all the space they need and more! I will keep...

    How much space do 13 chickens need

    Wow, I didn't know that the run needed to be so big. I was planning on 16ft x 16ft. But I guess I have to make some changes!
