    Sick duck

    We are still feeding them grower/ finisher since they all eat together. There is no mold in the food since they go through the pipe feeder full every other day. No other birds are sick. All I have tried is the oyster shells maybe I need to try a supplement. Any recommendations?

    Our first chicken coop

    Thank you. We started off with 4 australorps and 4 leghorns. We now also have 2 ducks, 5 guineas, and an assortment of 16 other chickens all large breed. Hope this house is big enough with the free ranging all day and the ducks are getting their own home closer to the pond.
