    Yogurt What kind and how much

    I recently received a very healthy trio of bantam faverolle's and absolutely LOVE the little dears. It was recommended to give them plain yogurt regularly for digestive tract health.

    Hello! I am a newby here and absolutely enjoy it so far. I have had chickens for years in various breeds, but in researching extensively for my daughter to have a bird for 4H this year (she is only 5), we settled on a golden SeBright. Upon looking for them, I stumbled on a local breeder who...
