    Can banties eat pellets?

    I'm sure this is a silly question but do you all feed your banties pellets or crumbles? I have a girl that I can't keep weight on and I was wondering if the pellets are too big. Is that possible? Thanks!

    Worming chickens..........

    Hey guys! I just wanted to let everyone know that TAPEWORMS do not show up on a fecal test. I don't think it is very common knowledge so I thought I'd share my experience. I had chickens wasting away with no other symptoms and kept thinking that it was worms, but I brought in two separate...

    Chicken "asked" me to get her better!! Please advise...

    Please help me with this sweet girl. She was smart enough to make her way into my house and into the bathroom tub where I typically treat the chickens when they are sick.

    Live chick in trouble - graphic pics - help!

    *** Any hatching experts out there?!! *** So, typically the yolk is absorbed before the chick hatches to give them energy for the hatch. And if the yolk doesn't get absorbed, it is usually an indication that it will probably have problems anyway. However, since the hatching process has...

    I Have a Chicken that Just Lost a lot of Weight

    I think we need a little more information to help you figure out what is wrong with your girl, but you could try to feed her some cooked eggs in the mean time. I have yet to see my birds refuse cooked eggs. They are high in vitamins and protein. I'm having weight loss problems with my birds...
