    This info was a very big help with my birds. I am leaning towards mycoplasma Gallisepticum /lower or Aspergilliosis. The info said an antibiotic would help, but they would be carriers. One of these 2 issues it said could be caused from mold, ect. I am still wondering if the fine ground feed...

    HELP ~ Young rooster gaping !

    I have 2 of them separated now & am feeding them scratch grain + crumbles. They look fine. On the one I put up today, he did not have anything in his crop. Do you think it would be OK to get some antibiotic to put in the water ?

    Your pen on the Chick pen on the bottom gave me an idea ! I am getting a 8 x 12 yard barn & am gonna fix it up for my Bantams. I had thought I would need to use 2 x 4 lumber, but just may not have to. Am so glad I saw your pictures. Thank for the idea !

    My hen makes a noise like a sneeze. It is more like a tic, she will make this noise. I want to know

    She is healthy & is a Partridge Rock Bantam. I bought her & the rooster at an Exotic Sale. They are clean & no redness or sickness. It's just this strange little noise. Does anyone know what this might be ?
