    Massive decrease in egg output, and 24-hour old eggs with blood vessels and beating hearts....

    About 8 weeks ago, I noticed a pretty dramatic decrease in eggs (from 12-18/day to 4-6 per day) from my 20+ hens. The hens are anywhere from 1 to 3 years old. I have 8 roosters. We're using a locally provided non-GMO layer pellet feed (Homestead Feed). We've been using this feed...

    [VIDEO] croupy/raspy/snory breathing in one of my hens...

    [VIDEO] Owl snags one of my ducks

    So shortly before 3AM, an owl attacked the smallest (runt) of my 10 ducks. It was a mallard, about half the size of the other ducks. All the ducks are only 10 weeks old, and this one had particularly bad vision. It always seemed to hone in on the group with sound instead of sight, and was...
