    Help Duck Won't Come to Mama (Me)!

    My post sounded worse than it actually was but I know what you mean. She didn't kill it just made it release it is all. A little broom to the head and the hawk released him. My aunt doesn't kill anything, even spiders found in the house have a place in the barn to go!

    does anyone give their chickens Flock Block

    I bought one mid-winter, I even chipped some pieces off of it to hand feed them and get them interested, didn't work. They could care less about it. It was a waste of money for me, but worth trying at least once. Will probably try again this winter just in case. It may be because mine are...
