    Are grocery bought quick grits safe for my chickens?

    Cook it first and it won't swell.

    Interested in chicken footwear? No more Bumblefoot.

    I'm interested. Price goes by durability and value. $5 per pair that wear out after a month is much less attractive than $10 per pair that last a year or two. Easy on and off and washable are also good things. Pics will be a must too...

    Need to get rid of FLYS!!! they are constantly on the chickens and ducks food. Any ideas?

    An added benefit from the Victor Fly Magnet type live traps is that after a week or so large numbers of fly larvae appear in them. Great live protein the birds love.

    Dark Cornish Hen With Bald Patches On Head (pics)

    I've got four others without the problem. She doesn't miss any meals (organic unmedicated layer feed, 2-3 hours per day supervised free range in a 4500 sq ft yard, and plenty of daily greens, scratch and dried mealworms) so I'm not leaning toward any deficiency.

    Dark Cornish Hen With Bald Patches On Head (pics)

    I have a sweetheart of a Cornish hen who got these pictured bald spots on her head during her molt this winter - both sides behind her ears. They aren't filling back in and she scratches there more than I think she should. I don't see any bugs or any sign of irritation and the skin looks normal...

    What's The "Smartest" Thing You've Seen a Chicken Do?

    Our band of five was "helping" dig potatoes last weekend. After watching for a bit they enthusiastically joined in and started moving dirt. Of course they were mostly in the way but got an "A" for effort. The next day they went to the same area, unsupervised, and dug up three more we'd missed...
