    Is it gapeworm without breathing distress?

    I have a 1.5 year old RIR who several times during the day will open her beak and stretch her throat 12-20 times and shake her head several times. She doesn't have any breathing distress, and is behaving normally in every other way. None of my other three are showing this behavior. Does she...

When this happens it happens sometimes...

    Have I ruined my chick's life?

    I can only have four hens in our city limit. I was able to get three I wanted last week, and the fourth today. I hadn't taken into account the size difference in just one week! The week-olds haven't been aggressive toward the baby and seem a bit afraid of her. She will keep up with the...
