LOL, you are right, I never even thought about how they no longer use animal protein in feeds! I am going to give the new food, and fish a shot. Hopefully, my ladies will start behaving. I wonder if you are right about hatchery birds being more prone to it, I have a small flock of bantams that I...
Sorry, i posted without finishing lol. I have a small mixed age flock that it pecking each other, and I cant think of anything else to do. Out of the ten, there are three that get it pretty badly from the others.
oh gosh!! I will try to be nice, but that farrier really should not have been continuing the care of that horse's feet if his "plan" did not show improvement. It bothers me that some horse professionals think they know everything and wont listen to other people who may actually have the right...
So sorry for your loss of Blizzard :(

I just wanted to thank all of you for your information and life experiences with this dreaded disease. I have had chickens for years, and it is quite humbling to realize how little I know about it. I hope with all of my heartthat I avoid it, and plan to stay super vigilant in protecting my...
