    Sick Rooster - Could it be genetic?

    I have a sick rooster that has had runny yellow poop (basically water) the last couple of days. I have been treating him for coccidiosis as a precaution. The rest of the flock is fine (though they are all being treated since the Corid is in the water). He is a 10 month old Buckeye and has been...

    Buckeyes on the way!

    Hello, all! I had a mixed flock several years ago, but had to get rid of them due to being in the city. It has been several years since I had to say goodbye, and I have sorely missed those spunky gals! Earlier this year, my husband and I were able to buy a 30 acre farm - something we’ve dreamed...
