    Heavy breathing, wheezing, swollen neck/chest??

    I have a 13-week old Ameracauna who has been breathing very heavily the last several days. She is also sneezing and has a "barking" noise. We can definitely hear a wheezing noise from her as well. She is eating pellets and drinking water fine. She also forages through the yard and I've seen...

    Does anyone know where I can find corn/soy free eggs in Eastern PA?

    I don't know if I'm posting in the right section or not. I'm trying to find locally produced eggs from chickens that are not fed corn or soy since I'm very sensitive to both of them. I'm in Lancaster County and am fortunate enough to have a lot of options for pasture-raised and grass-fed...
