    Cayuga Feeding plan

    So we have a small flock of Cayugas, they are our breeder birds and I have been feeding Kalmbachs Duck & Goose. They seemed to do well on it till I switch over to the 20% Full Plume (for chickens in molt) and they have thrived on it. However I do wonder if I should change it back to a more...

    Formula for Champions

    So I have a questions for breeders. We just had our NPIP test done and my tester happened to breed and show Ameraucanas. We are rather new to the breed but I have a breeder pen currently that I'm working with. She told me that they require more protein in their diet compared to your general run...

    Swollen leg, not bumble foot

    I have a year old Cayuga duck that started limping a few weeks back. I checked her foot over and there are no cuts nor swelling. It seems to be in her leg. Ankle and up. It was 2x the size it should be. I did isolate her for several weeks in a small brooder pen to see if she would get better. It...

    Splash Ameraucana Breeding to SOP

    Thank you! Ours are Ameraucana. I know at 8 months he still has some filling out to do. The red feather kinda threw me for a loop. If that's leakage, what could that mean? If he is from BBS where is the red coming from? I did a test hatch to make sure they produced 100% splash, and have 10...

    20 week old pullets suddenly dieing.

    I have been wondering the same thing about poison.. we live in the country and have a little bit of everything around us. Due to them being so young I've wondered if they just dont know what not to eat. Where as my older girls just know better. Again this is only happening to my young ones. And...

    20 week old pullets suddenly dieing.

    I've been told that DE does kill worms. And while there have been case studies done and they were inconclusive, I've seen it work time an time again. But I believe this is something else. Hence the DE now not working. I've either got some odd viral strand going through my flock or I'm just...

    20 week old pullets suddenly dieing.

    Good day everyone. So I have been dealing with something that I'm not sure how to treat. I have 3 coops. One with my 2+ year old laying hens. One with my 20ish week old pullets, and one with chicks. My young girls (20 weeks) are not laying yet and I have been letting them free range just about...
