    Fermented feed feeder

    So I have a sweet girl with scissor beak. Aside from needing wet food she's healthy and happy. I'm thinking of trying this, but instead of silicone using water weld epoxy. Use it to seal, then do a good amount inside and outside to kinda give it more support. I love the idea of her having access...

    Name that breed!

    These are the best pics I can get without upsetting her. I had to clip her beak today so she's extra skittish.

    Name that breed!

    So I got a free "meal maker" chick from Meyer and I have no idea what she is. She's got feathered feet, 4 toes, pretty brownish coloring on her wings, and random spots on her chest. (Yes she's got scissor beak, I'm monitoring and don't need advice about that aspect). So...anyone have any ideas...

    When will my Old English Game Bantam lay?

    When did she start laying? I have one little girl, I don't know her EXACT age but we're guessing around 16/17 weeks. Her comb is still very small and not pink at all. She's my little Mina-Beana

    How old for nail clipping DNA test?

    So I got myself 10 old English bantam hatchlings that will be a week old tomorrow. I ordered the blood DNA tests for them (actually got 11, thanks for throwing in an extra!) and today I went to clip their toenails. I steeled myself to hurt my sweet little babies, I clipped one chick's nail to...

    Silkie honks like a goose?

    I have a DNA sexed splash silkie and she honks. It's a quick little HONK! and I thought she was sneezing or had a respiratory infection. I treated with antibiotics and no change, so I started taking her out and checking her for anything, and she didn't honk at all. Apparently some silkies are...

    Intestinal lining poops?

    So I got four 4-5 week old bantam Cochin yesterday and got woken up by loud chirping and found these poops. The person I got them from says it's intestinal poops, I want to make sure and see if there's anything I can do to help this process along for my little chick.

    Coop and run questions

    Aha! Thank you for warning me! Glad I overbought. I ended up on 1/2 inch hardware cloth and I planned on doing it across and up the sides to deter snakes and such, now I'll know to go the extra mile out too.

    Coop and run questions

    Quick question! I got my coop today (very excited, it's beautiful!) and I'm wondering if I connect and fully predator proof the run, will I need to close the coop up at night or can I let them go in and out as they like? I'm an insomniac and the coop I got doesn't have a door that's easily...
