    Hello! I've had my duckling for around a month now and she's growing perfectly fine, however I have my family complaining about having to feed her only her own feed and not give her few treats every now and then. I have noticed that when I mix her pellets with cucumbers, tomatoes and what...

    Poorly hens - mycoplasma

    I recently bought 4 hens (2 silkies, pekin bantam and polish bantam). Sadly just after a week of getting them 2 died - we thought it was a case of worms as they were gaping and only died very suddenly. The other we took to the vet and they diagnosed mycoplasma- sadly after 3 days she also passed...

    When can I give chicks garden waste?

    Ok. Short story is I gave them a cabbage plant I pulled that wasn’t going to make a head. They went NUTS for it but it gave them the runs. So I know I’ve done it too early but as the garden gets going I’ll want to give them some produce. How old do they need to be? I asked my experienced...

    I have a very small little flock they're about three months old now and love to be out to free range.

    Enough feed?

    I have a small brood of 12 hens. They have access to laying mash all day. Each morning I give them a scoop of cracked corn and a scoop of meal worms. I repeat that in late afternoon. They have a really good sized range area for foraging. Is this enough food? Should I add anything to their diet?
