    HELP my chick has a swollen stomach

    Sorry I posted that twice by accident....UPDATE the chick is doing much better. I ended up putting her back with the others because all she wanted to do was try to get back to them. I red up on impacted crop and put some Braggs raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar (purchased at giant food stores)...

    HELP my chick has a swollen stomach

    Im pretty sure its her crop.... I have isolated her from the other birds and making her food into a mush...I added electrolytes to her water which might help her energy level...I am massaging it gently to try to help her food pass...she recently pooped and there was some solids in it so thats a...

    Is this enough for 2 goats?

    You could turn that issue with the garage into two seperate pastures. Then you could practice pasture rotation...that would help with worms. They have this saying though about if a goat lived in a golf course it would starve...goats thrive on brush and weeds so you might need to convince the...

    What did this??? :(

    I agree... you should post a picture of the fur if you still have it. Also, you shouldn't let this discourage you from chicken keeping...it is a fun a rewarding hobby even if you have some hiccups along the way.

They are well adapted to urban living and are a big issue in the cities of California where small children have actually been attacked. The coyotes in the eastern US are said to have wolf genetics in them because...
