    I found this tiny "fart egg" in my nest box 🐔

    I keep Pekin Bantams and I have a 4 month old pullet that I hatched from their eggs under a broody.

    Should I keep a frizzle Pekin Bantam on sand to avoid feather soiling?

    I just got two Pekin Bantams and one is a frizzle. My dad recommended keeping them on sand instead of sawdust as their poop will be less likely to stick to their feathers. Any ideas? And would children's sand be fine? it's considerably cheaper than proper sand bedding. :)

    Are Hentastic Pellets Safe For My Coturnix Quail To Eat?

    I started keeping Coturnix quail in August 2017 and I wanted to supplement their diet with naturally medicinal plant-based products (like Apple Cider Vinegar and Hentastic pellets) I used the fennel and aniseed pellets first and they seemed to love them but when I ran out I started on a new...
