    I wouldn't be surprised if that's actually more nutritious than their bagged stuff! So very appropriate! :lol:

    yes I did, but the chief thing there is that my birds really don't like barley, and do like wheat, which is a better base grain anyway.

    I just did a quick search and came up with these, all from different posters and on 3 different threads. There are a lot more (pages). https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/they-wont-eat-their-food.1624335/post-27746833...

    It is commonly assumed that bagged feed is fine, though some have started to recognize that old feed may not be exactly tickety boo. Quite a few note the powder/dust at the bottom of their bag, sometimes with comments that the birds won't eat it. Bagged feed comes off a production line, which is...

    Are you going to share it with us? Or just tease? :p I'll start: if your chicken won't eat the bagged processed chicken feed you bought for it, stop giving it anything else to eat until it does :th

    Windy hill chickens - first flock(s) of my own

    I concur; that's what my NG's eggs looked like. Also had a large yolk relative to albumen, fwiw.

    yup. Also mine for not giving the title, just the authors...I'll try to remember to include it if I cite it again.

    no that's a different book by the same authors. The one I was referring to is https://www.amazon.com/Biology-Moult-Birds-Lukas-Jenni/dp/147297722X available as an ebook here apparently, for about half the price...

    It's waterfowl and coastal birds that are particularly prone to spreading and/or suffering it, rather than garden or song birds. It's worth being careful with your footwear and tyres / where you park wherever you get your feed; such places can and do act as hubs of infection whence it spreads...

    getting everyone registered is a new thing, so there isn't really precedent for what they're asking of you. I imagine the authorities will approach backyard hobbyists with kid gloves in order not to risk compliance with registration at least till that's bedded in. Wales hasn't followed, at...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I have had birds with balance issues during a hard moult, and your question brought to mind a bit I noted from Jenni and Winkler chap 3 sect 4: "birds normally do 'nothing else' or are unable to do 'anything else' during a fairly rapid moult. In turn, this relative inactivity during moult is...
