    Advice - neighbor wants us to cull

    This is more of a what would you do question. Our neighbor has chickens, ducks and turkeys. We have chickens (had 21), 11 ducks and 2 guineas. Over a month ago (late August?), my husband brought home some adult chickens totally against my advice (because we didn't have sufficient quarantine...

    Flock infected - IB, MG, Newcastle :(

    We took one of our roosters to the local university AG hospital this past weekend because of respiratory illness, and it turns out he had super high titers for infectious bronchitis. He also had the mild form of Newcastle, and was positive for mycoplasma gallisepticum. We've actually lost about...

    Broad daylight predator attack

    I suspect a raccoon, but it's totally broad daylight and my daughter and a neighbor dog were playing yards away. I heard a hen going crazy, went out a few minutes later and found a bird that has been sick (still trying to figure out with what) was near our gate, head and neck completely off...

    I've been searching the site for info about our sick flock. Our chickens looks like everything I have seen about gapeworm - head bobbing and shaking, yawning, gurgling if you pick them up, etc. So we are going to TSC to pick up the treatment.

I got 2 to have at least 2 layers in my flock of 10; the other 8 are...

    Pekin lays around, doesn't walk much

    I'm new to this site and ducks! We have 5 white pekins and I'm head over heels already. We bought 2 on one weekend from TSC and then went back the next week for 3 more. They all seem to be doing well, except one of my older 2 lays around all the time. At first we just thought it was a really...

    Newbie Chick and Duckling Family

    Hello! I've been reading a bunch of info on this site since we got our flock a few weeks ago. I've already learned a ton from you all, so I went ahead and joined so I can keep current and learn more. We have a flock of 10 chicks (4 buff orps, 4 birds sold as Ameraucanas, but I'm thinking EE...
