I would not give them distilled water. Distilled water has everything that has been taken away from it. Animals need those minerals that are in the water because not having it will deplete them and they cant really gain it back. I know this is true of humans and amphibians so I am going to...

mine ate some latex paint once went right through

mine does the same thing, i just carry a rake with me and if he gets too close I shove him away. No matter how much I handled him when he was younger affected him. I just accept him the way he is now and just be cautious

Finally got one out of the 2 chicks i raised since March not sure if its the BR or Australorp It was a double yolker too....She laid another egg the next day!

to meet your unnatural want -----I dont think you can say its unnatural for somebody. You have no idea how someone was raised. I myself am vegetarian and feed my animals meat products even though the idea doesnt thrill me I know its what my animals need. No idea why you are being harsh on this...

thanks i know hes testing me i just was wondering if there was a better method then others. he is tolerant of me picking him up but i never held the beak. i used to do it to the turkeys, i guess i never thought about it with a chicken

Hes only pecked me 3 times. When I sit with him I know he is testing me. I guess I will try a few approaches to see if something works with him. Thanks and I just found a post with the same content...i subscribed

agree with the lotion and sun tan lotion you may also want to brush the coat daily so it can stimulate the natural oils and get rid of that dead skin. usually use a baby shampoo to wash but you may need something with a moisturizer in it

I have been reading some of the posts and they all seem to be aggressive roosters that are aggressive to hens as well. Mine is starting to challenge me but is fine with his "women". He will come up to me and puff up and stomp up to me. I usually give him a push. Does this work or am I out...

Garter snakes are more likely wanting your goldfish then they are your chickens. i still dont see why everyone...ok majority of people kill snakes that i come across the mouse population would be sky high without them

sounds likethe best thing to do is get him to the vet and test him. there should be no reason a 4 year old should go down in weight. has it had more exercise? as far as food goes what is the amount of pellets vs vegetables do you give him?

i think grower is for 8 weeks

Being a zoo keeper we do this all the time. If you google ANIMAL ENRICHMENT you will see many ideas.

So you have chick grower and not chick starter? What brand is the food? It usually has it written on the bag although not everyone feeds it that way. Also it depends on the type of chicken you have. Being broilers versus egg layers.My chicks are on starter and will be on it for 4 months, but...

from what i have read ducks should not eat chick starter. it has been written on some breeders hatchery pages.

After doing my research I agree with the poster above about the temperature. Make sure you wash your hands before you handle the parrots. I talked to my avian vet about it and he said he wasnt too worried but to make sure I did wash my hands and be sure to keep "chicken" shoes in chicken areas.

If you get a kitten ...not cat but kitten REVOLUTION from your vet, it will kill those mites. put it on the back of its neck just like a cat

agree with the treat training idea. when mine see me with a yogurt cup they get all excited and run up to me

patience with them coming out, it may take a few days. use some bribes like a few mealworms can do the trickcant help with the sexing... I still have my own to figure out Make sure Amy stays away from that liquor

I am a zookeeper and we have to think of and make up lots of enrichment. I have used for chickens....toilet paper rolls, shredded paper,food fed to them in something they have to figure out. First i go real simple and then I make it more complex. We make mealworm or cricket feeders so it...
