    Rooster/cockerel starting to crow- who’s used a ‘collar’?

    I feel for you and was in your position earlier this week when my most cuddly chicken ever finally decided to start being the little man he was meant to be.

    Impacted Crop Diaries

    Yes, she does wolf her crumbles when the urge hits her. I will make sure to check her first thing and see if she still has the mass and needs a bit of massaging. Thank you so much, I really love the little lady and don't want anything bad to happen to her!

    Impacted Crop Diaries

    I noticed that a common thread to impacted crop seems to be hay or grass. Can a chicken get impacted crop if they don't eat either of those? My girls are in a coop with a course sand mix as recommended in another thread I found helpful, are fed crumble with a daily handful of scratch in the...
