    Bad Limp

    I noticed today that my five year old Easter Egger has a huge limp on her left leg. I looked around the leg, foot, and hip but I can’t see or feel anything out of the ordinary. She does seem skinny though. The camera on my phone doesn’t work, so I’ll upload a video of her walking as soon as I...

    Brocken Leg

    So my friend has a six month cockerel with a broken leg from an owl attack. He told me it was a clean break, and we don’t know how to splint it or cast it. I’m thinking a stick or metal rod duct taped to it to hold it in place, then cast it with plaster of Paris. Dumb idea? I’m not good with...

    How to kill determined Foxes

    What’s the best way to decimate a fox population? My friend lost 20 birds to foxes and there aren't many left. 9 out of 35. I know he needs to secure his coop, I’ll be helping him do that this week, but we need to kill at least some of em. What’s the best way? Cat traps? Shotgun at the den? Duke...

    Not quite absorbed yolk sac.

    So I was hatching shipped Ancona duck eggs, three made it to lockdown, one died pipped, and one hatched flawlessly. The third was fine, pipped and zipped quickly, but after about five or six hours hadn’t made any progress. His eggshell was really rounded, so I couldn’t tell he was malpositioned...

    Bear World Abuse

    I was just at bear world in Idaho falls for the first time since I got chickens, and I noticed some things. The chickens and ducks are abused. Three are blind, most of them have bumblefoot, the ducks are overmated, and they’re starved. They only get food from the people who pay for a handful...

    ISO: Duck hatching eggs

    I’m looking for duck hatching eggs. I can’t have large ducks, like pekin or Rouen, and I don't want the ones that can’t hatch because of the short necks. All other ducks are an option. I can pick up near me or pay for shipping. Cheap would be best. I’m in Oakdale CA.
