    Cayenne pepper and now all blackhead symptoms are gone!

    I wanted to share this with all other turkey owners because I am genuinely shocked it worked. One day one of my young males looked "under the weather." The next day, the dreaded sulfur yellow poop. I panicked. Now I know it is in my soil. I could see the dreaded blackhead spreading through...

    Araucana cockerel

    One double tufted rumpless Araucana cockerel. He is approx 5 months. He is double tufted but his tufts are asymmetrical. He has a very long back so that is good for breeding, but he does have what appears to be a couple stray tail feathers growing in at this point. He is incredibly friendly...

My question is will breaking her of her current broodiness make her not nearly as inclined to sit...

    Question for broiler breeds

    I have a bit of an odd question. I have never raised broiler breed meat birds. My experience lies with raising and slaughtering the cockerels that result from hatching eggs. I love the flavor of a bird that has had time to grow and develop, yet I would like that bird to have a bit more meat...

    For those who show your chickens: integration back into flock?

    This question is for those who show your chickens. How does the re-integration of your chicken to the flock go? I've never shown, but have had to separate chickens who are injured/sick and the separation and re-integration process really upsets the balance of the flock for about a week or two...

    Whole grains and Ducks. Need some feed advice.

    I've been keeping chickens for a long time now, but have recently been interested in getting a few ducks. In an attempt to avoid feeding my chickens commercial feed (especially soy!) I make my chickens' feed from whole grains (a mix of wheat, oat groats, barley, millet, quinoa and sesame seeds)...

    Mother hen won't stop caring for chicks... any suggestions?
