    Can I use NatureMade vitamins for vitamin B or do I have to buy chicken-specific brand?

    My chooks just went through a Colid treatment and I need to supplement their diet with a boost of Vitamin B. The feed store in my area doesnt sell them anymore (no joke body builders where taking them for their workouts. Smh) and I was wondering if I could use the vitamin B complex supplements...

    How delicate are chickens??

    Ever since I got my first chick I've been viewing chicken's as these fragile, easily injured fluffy babies that I must protect from falls and trips of any kind. I have panic attacks when they run too fast and turn sharply and put their wing out to turn; it looks and sounds painful! Don't even...

    Chick peeps very loud unless cuddled near face

    I have a chicken that, even as a chick, is exactly how you describe yours. I got her as a companion for my other mix breed (who tragically passed. RIP Baby <3) and she's been a mama's girl ever since. She shared a brooder with another chick her age and they got along fine but whenever she saw...

    Cheese and Yogurt: How Much Is Too Much?

    True. But the chart can tell you or give you an idea of what you're working with, have it be worms, under-eating, under-watering, infection, or dehydration. Sometimes the fix is easy and doesn't require a $$vet visit$$.

    How to serve a hard boiled egg to chicks aprox. 7 to 8 weeks old

    I've read that giving your chicks a hard-boiled egg once a day is really good for them but I want to know should I mix up the whole thing eggshells and all? and if so should I be mixing up really finelly so that the eggshells don't hurt them? Thanks!
