    Silver Barnevelder Roo over my hens.

    I have a Silver Barnevelder roo and standard Barnevelder hens, would I be correct in assuming I would get sex linked chicks, pullets being silver laced? I also have Speckled Sussex, Splash Australorps and a single splash laced red wyandotte, would it also be correct to assume I'd get blue or...

    Poor lady.

    Hens are on a healthy diet of all flock with a fist full of 15% scratch occasionally and melon rinds once a week. A do have an older lady that had fly strike last fall, could this be from her? No sign of lash or infection.

    Proper wyandotte face type

    Hi all, I've been looking at these birds for a few years, since I'm still learning about proper wyandotte shape and standards, I'd like second opinions.

She's not keen on opening one eye and when she does, it looks like the eye has been pushed in a little and the clear part of the eye is tinted orange. She can use one the other fine, I can't...

    Dog Safeguard

    We usually recommend the SafeGuard for goats here, I found this today. It's a dry powder, in 2 gram packets. Would this be appropriate for chickens and what would the doses be? Safe as they recommend for dogs. It's also 10.99.

    Can chickens eat duck pellets short term?

    Hey guys, tsc is out of most chicken feeds except for 16% layer or the pricey super organic kind that's $36 for #30. I have laying hens and 4, 11 weekers. They're supposed to get a shipment next week. Will this work for now? I don't see why not but I'm just making sure.
