    Impacted crop

    *Update* After getting her over to the neighbors and being able to get a closer look, it was decided to euthanize her. She had three splits, one where the compaction had ruptured through and a few maggots. She was very warm, labored breathing, and did not smell good. Thanks for all the info.

    Pelleted pine bedding?

    has anyone used this? I’ve been using the deep layer method, but it’s getting to a point where disposal and such is a hassle. I saw this and noticed reviewers talking about using it for pens, ferrets, etc.

    Ummm... uh oh. Or accidental duck owner

    *UPDATE* Out of the eight, six have survived. One died by drowning, seriously. I think it got tired swimming in the kiddie pool and did not realize it could get out on the bricks placed. It was pretty much full grown. Anywho, I’ve kept two and gave four to our dog breeder. They’ve got...

    Plus 1, a new arrival just showed up, not a rooster

    Haha, I had a white hen show up this year as well. Weird thing was it had a fluorescent orange x sprayed on its back. Strange how these things happen.
