    Chicken Fleas Found In Water?

    I got it. They are called "benign Springtails" and they are not harmful to humans or pets. For more information: https://insects.tamu.edu/extension/publications/html/e214.html

    Chicken Fleas Found In Water?

    Yes I live near the coast, but it's not sand fleas thank goodness. I took the lid off of the water container last night and when I came back this morning I counted 7 of them in the water. I have a picture now. It's the best shot I can get. http://www.imagebam.com/image/1abd1a321408245 I...

    Chicken won't leave nesting box

    What is a trio?

    How do you produce an offspring that's considered a "trio"? I'm a little confused. I know how to breed a rooster and a hen. But how do you get what they call a true trio? And what is a trio? Does the offspring carry 3 different bloodlines? Is that what they mean by trio?

On the 4th day his runny nose went away and I don't hear any bubbly sounds anymore. However, I added some sulmet (sodium sulfamethazine) to his...

    Sick Rooster

    I have a 7-8 month madigan claret who is recovering from a hard molt. His new feathers are coming out and I'm happy to see that. However, I am concerned about his health status. I think he is sick. It started around 2-3 weeks ago. The following is what I see so far. The BAD - minor runny nose...
