    2 Cubalaya Roosters -- Central KY

    Well... I was a little too ambitious at a poultry swap, and got two young Cubalaya roosters. They're actually quite nice birds. They're just a bit too flighty for my tastes and they could use more room than I have. According to the lady I got them from, they were hatched in April. They're...

    Pecking at the air, can't eat or drink without help, what's goin on?!

    I have a very weird problem. I have a Buff Orpington pullet named Golda. She's just gotten over a pretty rough crop impaction. She became very thin and weak and I ended up taking her to the vet where they did the whole bit of putting a tube down her throat and flushing out the crop with...
