Hey guys, I have been doing a lot of homework lately because one of my chickens isn't laying and has a droopy butt. Its not huge, but its still of concern. I've been researching the threads and online about pertdonitis, egg binding, ovarian cysts/tumors. There are a lot of interesting necropsy...
Hey guys, I have a serama bantam too that has been losing weight over the last 2-3 weeks. All of my birds have had lice on them (currently treating with seven dust and originally gave them baths to get as many of the egg clusters off as possible), and my two serama bantam roos got attacked by...
I have one of these feeders for my chickens, and i love it! And lately my ducks have been really wasteful with their feed in their trough that I made, so I wanted to get them this one too. But are the feeding holes in these too narrow for duck beaks to get to? Ive seen contradictory answers in a...
Hey guys, my little blue bantam rooster is in bad condition. Here are all the symptoms and whats going on, and I am stumped!

They will be available for...
My ducky mom has been sitting on her first nest (and I have not hatched ducks before, this i smy first time so of course I'm being a freaked out first time mom!). She has been sitting on her eggs for about 30 days so we were expecting babies anytime. This morning we came out to feed and...
I just got a pair of ducklings this last Friday. They are now 1 week old. The little yellow that I have was sneezing a little yesterday, according to our chick sitter, during the day. When I got home she was fine when we brought her out for a bit, but later last evening she was lightly...
I am new to owning chickens, but have read quite a bit on owning them before I brought them home this last Friday. I took in a hatchery choice (aka don tknwo what breed yet) bantam day old chick as an adoption. It was free because both of its feet were twisted. The left foot had all of the...

I am going to be purchasing some chickens this year since we are finally moving in to our ranch house! my problem is that the nearest feed store is almost 20 miles away, and Im not even sure what types of chicken feed they carry. I want to get my chickens on either purina/nutrena...
