    What would you do?

    My flock recently came down (in December) with a gurgling and raling respiratory issue, which started in a humid poorly ventilated coop. I got a bird necropsied about a month after it started, when only a few different ones each night would gurgle (like it was quickly spreading through them)...

    What is viral pneumonia? Please help!

    I have been having trouble with sick birds, which started in a poorly ventilated coop with moisture buildup. I had just about given up hope (all blood tests are negative except for virus isolation which aren't back yet) and read somewhere about Viral Pneumonia - What is it? Do the birds become...

    What is it!?

    Mid December some of my young birds started "gurgling" at night. It sounded like water in the lungs, or a crackling noise. They were 2-3 months old. It started because I had poor ventilation in the coop they were in, I know that for a fact. Lincomycin-Spectinomycin was ineffective (for 8 days)...

    Best brand of small incubator?

    Hi, I want to buy an still-air incubator to do some extra hatching, but I am just a kid with a limited amount of money, so my price range would be around 40-80$.

    Geese and MG?

    Neighbor chickens and segregation?

    hi all, I was wondering about a health question - Our neighbors some laying chickens they keep in a single pen, about 400 feet from our property line. My chickens are in tractors that move around, anywhere from a couple feet from the property line to a couple of hundred feet. How far would be a...

    Switching back to non-organic?

    I am planning on starting to buy non-organic food again. Is there anything that could immediately damage my bird's health by switching from one to the other? I'm not worried about the chemicals, I don't like GM crops, and I know they are most likely more harmful in the long run, but I really...

    Hello! My name is Gamefowl Guy (computer name of course, my parents didn't know I would comes to love chickens when I was born). And I love gamefowl! I don't like fighting birds, I think that practice is cruel, but I am fascinated by all the different breeds, strains and colors of gamefowl!
