    Chickens gaping and shaking head

    I have two ISA Browns, roughly a year old, who have been previously healthy. Today I noticed both of them gaping consistently; is this a respiratory issue? As well as gaping, they keep shaking their heads, as if trying to get something off. Is this symptoms for a disease or am I overreacting...

    Worms in chicken poo

    My two ISA Browns appear very healthy, however today I noticed in one of their poos there were live worms wriggling around.

    Australians!! Where to buy fertile eggs in NSW?

    I live in a country town in regional NSW, and was wondering where I could buy fertile duck eggs (either online or in store). I don't have access to any large cities, the nearest place is Wagga, and that's a stretch. All help appreciated 😁

    Duck vibrating then jumping

    I have a Pacific black duck that I've raised from a duckling. It loves to sleep beside me and usually displays normal behaviour. However I've noticed that occasionally it will vibrate when approaching me (or when approached by me), then jump or lung at me. I've attached a video. To me it looks...
