    MORE THAN APPRECIATION

    In the past few months I have had a hen with a broken leg who had it set by a vet, but quit eating. And I have had a 3 week old Silkie who quit eating for reasons unknown. I would have thought to let them go. Because of a member's guidance, they were both saved by tube feeding, recommended...

    ??? What's this on my face...???

    Hi everyone! About a week and a half ago, I was holding my Amer. Buff gander, Gus, on my lap when I happened to notice this patch of what looked to be 'wet' feathers under and along the side of his left eye. Upon closer examination I found that the feathers there were not wet at all, they...

    WORMERS

    Hi. I have what probably amounts to a stupid question, but... Are these two wormers the same? They both have the same active ingredient, 10% Fenbendazole, 100mg/g, but are packaged differently. One says it's for 'beef cattle' and the other one says it's for 'equine'. I know that...

    goldEE is in trouble!!!

    Last night I put my 8 -10 week old rescued EE in a large enclosed run with my pigeons. I know, not ideal, but the best choice in this situation. I had left goldEE out there during the day before and the pigeons barely gave her a second glance, so I figured she'd be OK staying with them the...

    Some of you might already be aware of my white bearded silkie that has had some strange bouts of what can only be referred to as a 'neurological condition'. I have asked everyone on BYC and received many well wishes and suggestions. Unfortunately, nothing I tried seemed to work. She would be...

    A TRIBUTE TO MY SILKIE GIRLS, GREIVING AND MAREK'S

    HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU OR YOUR PET CHICKENS? I SURE HOPE IT DOESN'T...EVER!!! I think it would be safe to say that the majority of us backyard flock farmers know that: as a caretaker, chances are good you'll lose a few in the name of protecting the majority and that while no loss is...
