    Stephenson County (IL) Board Says Fowl are Fair

    I would like to clarify this for 2025. Can you have hens in the town of Freeport IL. I am thinking about looking at a house at 642 W Stephenson St which has a .26 acre lot. I have 5 hens. Would this be allowed? I'd probably put up a 6' fence around the back.

    Nutritional Yeast vs Brewer's Yeast

    Thank you for this info! I have both ducks and chickens and my 2 older ducks live and share food with my chickens because my older girl is crippled from arthritis, according to the vet, though now I am wondering if it is a niacin issue. It was only a couple of years ago that I found a feed store...

    Chicken vs Duck egg prices

    What is everyone charging per dozen? Do you ask for more for the duck eggs? My duck eggs are fertilized, if that matters. I sell a few of those to a witch who specifically needs fertilized eggs. I was only charging three dollars a dozen for both chicken and duck but feed prices went up, even the...

    Black Liquid Coming from Nose and Mouth

    I think she did, but the reason I am confused is that she is not turning pale. Her comb still is red and dark purple. But she is stiff. But she was turning stiff before I thought she had passed. This is very strange.

    Black Liquid Coming from Nose and Mouth

    No. I can put my finger up a bottom and deal with severe bleeding (we had a raccoon incident years ago), but I can't cut anyone open. Our girls are pets. Not sure what the vet would charge.

    Black Liquid Coming from Nose and Mouth

    I could hear a rattling when she was breathing, so I put some VetRX on her nostrils. This was before I saw the black liquid.

    Black Liquid Coming from Nose and Mouth

    Her comb is now darker. I think she has passed. I was just out there a few minutes before I got on here.

    Black Liquid Coming from Nose and Mouth

    I have a hen, not sure of age because she is a rescue. She seemed fine yesterday. She's been funny about eating her treats, but sometimes she's picky. This afternoon I noticed that she was not out with the other girls betting her treat. I look in the coop and she is still in there. I did not...

    Bald eagle nest around

    There is a mom and kid eagle that has a next a block away from my yard. They have all of a sudden been hanging out in a tree that overhangs where my ducks are. I don't think it's a coincidence. They may not want them now, but I think they are keeping an eye on them just in case they need food. I...

    Does anybody have any experience with Zyfend as a dewormer?

    I see that the product mentions this, but it does not clearly say that it is a dewormer, just "offsets worm-related issues." So it doesn't seem to be an actual dewormer just helps with things that are caused by the worms.

    The Frickin' Chicken Coop

    LOVE IT! What is the stuff you used to cover the run? Where do you get it? Is it expensive. Has it held up over the winters?
