    How much to give?

    I have a lil RR that I posted about a while back. She was really sick and I was not sure what was wrong with her. She has lost a lot of weight. She is doing a lot better, but she still is off on her eating, and her poo is not back to normal yet. I am thinking she must have some kind of...

    Sour crop question

    I am now pretty sure our girl has sour crop. Just checking on something. From everything I have been reading there should be a bad smell, or brown gunk coming out of her mouth.

    A few more days!

    On march 3rd it will be 21 days since our girl went broodie and has been sitting on 4 eggs. Not really sure what to expect at this point. I do not know if they are all viable.
