    Bloody poop or blueberries? Corid or wait? - New questions

    Is Corid safe to use on birds that we are raising organically for our own consumption? Plan to harvest them in 6-8 wks fully realizing that if I don't stop/control whatever they have I could loose them. Appreciate the help.

    Cracked Eggs in Cold Weather

    Thanks for your reply...Re the cannibalistic issue...I know it's a bit creepy but can't beat the protein and calcium load. I have to remind myself that their idea of a great meal is a heap of wriggling maggots or slugs. All in the eye of the beholder. I just will not waste anything...we have...

    Cracked Eggs in Cold Weather

    Does anyone have a solution to keeping duck eggs from cracking when it's real cold? I try to retrieve them often enough that they are not exposed to the cold too long, but seem to keep having the issue no matter how long they've been out there in the cold.
