It is time to introduce my chicks to grit, I have sprinkled it over their food a few days. Do I continue to do that or do I offer it by itself? I have them on paper towels right now because they have been eating the wood shavings, I would like to move them back to wood, but read it’s good to...
What's everyones favorite veggies? I love cucumbers and hate kale and most other veggies too🤣. To be honest I prefer sweets😆. So come on crazy veggie lovers and vote!
I have 2 chickens, 1.5yr apart in age and my older australorp killed 3 speckled Sussex on the same day! So with only one SS left, I had to make a partition so they have separate coop/runs. Over the past year, the wood of the coop weakened with the elements and the mini pig (which I've had since...

I’m thinking about growing some crops for my girls, and i need some help on what i can grow. I was thinking about Oregano Alfalfa, and some kind of lettuce (not iceberg). Any ideas? Mainly looking for leafy-type Or grassy crops.
Hi guys..Today my anacona drake suddenly ate a tiny piece of wallnut's shell..I'm terrified that this is going to hurt his digestive system and organs...The piece is as same size as the pic I uploaded...What should I do?
My friend has a pet gecko and she accidentally ordered too many crickets (food for the gecko), but some of them died. I was wondering if these would be safe to feed to my chickens? They died maybe a day ago. I was wondering because she told me that she can’t feed the dead ones to her gecko...
I saw that ducks like to eat tiny fishes such as sardine etc...Can I give my drakes tiny fishes? And should I cooked them? And I'm concerned about the bones also I'm afraid it's going to be a high fat meal for drakes since drakes burn less calories than hens.
Hi guys I have a question..can u feed ducks mealworms? How many mealworms should u give to each duck? I have two 7 months drakes...And should I cook the mealworms with boiled water and give it to them with water or should I just mix dried mealworms into their dry food?
Hi guys. I have one Pekin and one magpie. They both are 7 months years old. Recently they don't show interest in their pellet food and they just want something else like veggies...They don't eat pellet food immediately like they used to eat..I give them some veggies like cucumber and tomatoes...
This a Manna pro duck feed I’ve been giving my duck lately, but it seems kind off.. I don’t know, there are some black spots there after looking closely, so I’m a bit worried. It doesn’t feel weird nor does it smell bad, but was there always black dots on the feed? I don’t know. I have noticed...
I’ve been looking at it for awhile now, but I can’t really tell. I don’t believe there is any, but there seemed to be some earlier, so I want to make sure just in case. Any help is appreciated!
-She is one and a half years old
-She is a Pekin duck
-She’s only been eating Manna pro duck feed...
I would like to hear about everyone's feeding regimen?
I just had my first chicken death. No symptoms or signs. She was totally fine, running around yesterday, and then walked out to the coop this morning and she fell dead from her roosting bar. No blood, no nothing. I am thinking a possible...
I'm curious what everyone here does to lower the cost of feed. I have a creek out back and I'm considering buying some minnow and crawdad traps so I can supplement their feed.
I'm also considering setting up a black soldier fly larvae bin.
Also any clue how to make sure they get a balanced...
Please help!
it’s our first time having ducks, so we’re having some trouble. We fed her a lot of food that wasn't supposed to be eaten long term, but we’re doing our best to fix this mistake. Any advice is appreciated!
My eldest muscovy (15 weeks) has stopped eating his grower pellets but will eat everything else like worms, grass, fruit (gave as treats) but wont even touch his pellets anymore even though he use to eat the pallets fine. Unsure if he has become fussy and doesn't like his pellets anymore (fancy...
Alright, I am just a couple weeks into fermenting my feed and getting everyone on a schedule. But I'd like to talk to someone who has experience with it, as I feel I'm doing something wrong. I'm guessing it's my ratio of what I mix in, but I'm not 100% sure. I have laying hens, a turkey...
I've bought some live mealworms from a local provider, I'm really worried about feeding them to my chicks as I'm not really 100% sure that these are healthy mealworms. Can I breed these mealworms for another generation and then feed them to the chicks?
I'm afraid that some...
