    Hen sick

    I checked her crop this morning and it is empty so I am ruling out a crop problem. I am feeding her increased protein. She is not having the water run out of her nose or gurgling today. She is perkier too. She does have better feathers growing in. I think her molting in winter when it's 9...

    Hen sick

    She could be mounting as she never had a first one. She is almost 1 year old. Do they usually lose weight during that?

    Hen sick

    Tonight her crop seems low and squishy but I could not appreciate a sour smell. Her poop is normal and she eats well now. Her abdomen falls hard but she is boney. This is day 3 of indoor vitamins and food. She feels better but I still think something is wrong.

    Night time water required for Ducks?

    I have 6 geese and they free range and swim all day with food near by and a bucket of clean water. I give them grains before bed. The mess they make with the water has soaked the run despite all attempts at neatness. I give up! No food or water at night any more. Just out during the day outside...

    How to keep run dry

    I have 18 chickens and 6 geese. They were raised together and share the run. The geese need to wash out their nose so they have a small heated bucket for that. Geese are so messy! The water splashes out or runs out of their mouths. I bought platic edging, put it in a circle, placed rocks in it...

    Egg sucking snake?

    I had something suck the egg dry during day light hours. It came back later and took the shell. I only know of a couple snakes that live in the hay barn where the the hens laid. Lots of mice but no rats that we know of. Would love to know what it is.

    Sand paper like egg

    My hen, Alice, just began laying eggs. Todays egg felt like it had a sand paper like egg shell. It remained even after I washed it. The other hens lay nice smooth eggs. I feed my 17 hens all flock crumbles due to having geese too. They also free range. What might the cause for this rough...
