    To eat, or not to eat?

    One of my hens had a freak accident this morning. She was found, hanging by her neck, in between the gate and the fence at about 8:30 am. Sunrise was at 6:30, so she couldn’t have been there any longer than about 2-3 hours. She wasn’t sick, had no known health problems, and it was wasn’t a...

    How do I teach chicks how to eat???

    Hey all. I had a couple of chicks hatch yesterday, and they won't eat. I've been poking it, and putting a little on my finger and showing to them. They eat a little, then back away and/or run away. How do I teach them how to eat?

    How do I tell the difference between a prominent keen / too skinny quail?

    Any advice on how to differentiate a prominent keen from a quail who is too skinny? When I place my fingers on the chest of one of my quail I can feel their keen very clearly. I do not have to really search at all, and it is most noticeable when I hold them. How should I encourage them to eat...

    TiL: Floaters are not always bad eggs

    So I felt the need to post this here. A little backstory, my 2 sisters are allergic to CHICKEN eggs but not duck eggs. They'd been ordering fresh duck eggs for about 2 years and receiving floaters sometimes and I had told them the trick of if it sinks is good, if sinks but stands underwater...

    DONT EAT THAT!

    Been reading these forums forever now, finally signed up so I can ask few questions that I can’t find answers to! Here’s my first question- under what circumstances, ailment, cause of death, reason to cull, would you consider the meat compromised and NOT eat the chicken? Thanks! Lucy

    Chickens ate some butter

    I just walked outside to find my 2 year old daughter feeding a stick of butter to my 9 week old chickens and indulging in some herself lol. Should I be worried at all? Is it safe for them? At most they probably ate half a stick between 6 birds

    Safe to use fertile eggs to incubate after Permethin?

    I just dusted my coop and some of my girls since they have some lice. I was already collecting eggs prior for incubation and just realized that I have no idea if the eggs tomorrow will now be ideal after this treatment for incubating? Thoughts? I used Gardstar poultry dust. I'm hoping I can...

    Chicks won't stop trying to eat pine shavings

    As the tittle says, I have a few Cornish chicks that do whatever they can to scratch away the paper towel and dig and eat the pine shavings underneath.... Not sure how to persuade them to stop. :( unless I just cut it out or replace with hay maybe?

    Why is this?

    Hi all, I'm not sure why my chicks do this: They are three weeks old and they "love" to try new food. Today I gave them a little piece of banana and they came and tried it. Then, they wiped their little beaks in the wood chips and came back to eat more. Every once in a while they would wipe...

    Little chicken cannot open eyes and is off balance

    Our little chicken has never had great balance, but I thought I should add it. He cannot open his eyes, aside from a little part. He drinks when I put water up to his beak, he tries to eat, but he can't quite see it. Preening like he's comfortable, a little fluffed out (less fluffed now that I...
