It's a little early for this area, but didn't feel too concerned because we just went through Harvey and the coop was flooded for a couple days. I thought stress brought...

    I posted a question last week about my Pekin duck having issues walking. I've had her confined, upped her niacin, checked her all over several times and couldn't find anything.

    Rooster breed

    My sweet black copper maran rooster passed away a couple weeks ago and after much debate, I decided to replace him. I miss rooster cuddles (forced cuddles- ha!) and crowing.
