She is usually a feisty girl and will bite when you...

    Effective one time Worming

As I did so, I noticed that they weren't bubbles at all but squirming little worms. I have no idea...

    Avocado tree chips in my run?

I know that avocados are a BIG no no for chickens but would the wood chips and leaves from the tree be bad for them? I was wondering because it's free and why waste it when I...

    So, I inspected my girls today and found creepy crawlys over three of my girls. Not a bad infestation as of yet but definitely worrisome. I have always used DE and about 6 months ago invested in some Poultry Protector. My girls eat organic feed and we try to keep things natural but will the DE...

    Vaccinated chicken with presumptive Marek's

    I want to know if anyone else has had this issue. So I have had three of my girls die in the last five weeks. The first was a surprise and happened very fast.

    Wyndotte not eating much and drinking a lot of water

    I have a 9 mo old wyndotte pullet who is the love of my flock. The last two days, I have noticed that she is not eating much. She scratches but I don't know if she's getting more than just dirt. She tasted some yogurt and cooked sweet potatoes but wasn't too interested. She stands by the waterer...

Is this something that I...

My husband and I moved to the CA bay area at...
