    Failed to thrive

    I have a Cochin chick that has failed to thrive. I fed it fermented feed and acv and rooster booster in it's water along with lots of live bugs (I bug farm). It's now 2 months old and fully feathered, and has grown the tiniest bit - can't tell if she has finally outgrown my bantams (she isn't a...

    Rehoming disabled guinea cock

    I hope I post this in the right spot. I tried to find a place for rehoming posts, but this was the only place I could find that seemed appropriate. I need to re-home a disabled guinea cock. I live in south to south central Missouri. He can't roost and gets picked on by the other cock. He does...

    Fruit flies and fermented feed...?

    Can anyone tell me if fruit flies will cause fermented feed to go bad? A few got into my feed, so I started it over just in case... My method for fermented feed: I only ferment in small batches, and refill daily in this heat... I started by adding a couple spoons of acv to the mix and let it...

    Breed?

    The yellow down with white n cream colored wings... Purchased from Cackle. They didn't have a good hatch on a breed I ordered, so they gave me some other birds. This one was supposed to be a buckeye, but obviously it isn't. It has a pea (I think maybe rose) comb and orange legs. Thing is, it's...

    Hawks or something else?

    I have lost most of my guinea. And all during the day. I have found feather piles here n there - at least 4 were on the edge of the yard... A couple times I have lost 2-4 in a day. I live in a VERY rural area (my dog went in heat 1 time n didn't get bred that's how rural) surrounded by national...

    healthy birds

    I see many posts regarding how to treat sick and injured birds, but can't find anything regarding healthy birds. I know how to check their poo, I've seen the poop chart (must see for newbies) but what else can I check to ensure my birds are healthy? I don't want to wait until they are very sick...
