    Grit

    I have been using the fine chick grit for my pigeons. Should I be using something else? It’s granite I believe. Thanks.

    Owls?

    I have brooded ducklings and chicks on my screened in porch multiple times. I have never had any issues. This summer I have a pair of pigeons on the porch in a secure cage until I get their loft finished. Tonight a Great Horned Owl busted through the screen! The dog barked and it was discovered...

    First time questions:

    Someone offered me a pair of young pigeons. They are cool so far. I understand they reproduce quickly. If you end up with too many birds, then can you just take their eggs? Or will this impact the pigeon? Also they came with a band and bell on the other leg. Is the bell useful to have? They have...

    Pullet coop bottom

    Feeding coop ready pullets

    I currently have 5 hens over a year old. I have 3 Jersey giants in the brooder (thinking one is a roo). From what I understand they probably won’t be laying eggs for awhile. When they are big enough to join the other girls, do I switch everyone back to the starter, or feed the new pullets the...

    Duck being attacked

    I have 11 ducks. Only two of these ducks are drakes (runners). I have one Ancona duck that the drakes constantly pick on. Today was the second time I found her hurt and secluded. Ever since she was a duckling she has had a little hobble in her walk. I have checked the bottoms of her feet many...
