    Deworming a small amount of birds

    I have 5 chickens, and was looking into deworming them. I never have done that. I've fed them DE before but you can flip a coin and will be told, that helps, that's useless, so... there's that. I went to tractor supply and the only thing they had for chickens was this pellet stuff, that a 1...

    Miracle !

    I was so sad on Tuesday when one of my friendly girls didn’t show up in the coop (free range during the day) After looking for her, I hoped she just settled else where for the night. But she didn’t show up the next day, or the next, despite looking for her. I was coming to terms that a...

    Will quails eat poisonous plants in a large enclosure?

    Ok so I plan to put quite a few quails on an all enclosed garden of mine. It's basically an aviary, but without birds. I've heard that parsley, eggplant, and onion is poisonous for quails, but I've also heard that they won't eat the plants if they aren't starving. The plants are in separate...

    Upping my chicken's protein

    What brand of crumbles can I buy that has a higher protein percentage than the current 16% I'm feeding? I typically feed DuMOR but I'm not seeing anything higher than 16% (currently browsing online). I KNOW I've seen a higher percentage at my local TSC, but I can't remember the brand. What...

    This particular dove stops by everyday for about 4 times a day. Sometimes it brings a friend and they just sit on the railing there and coo.

    Chickens are pooping in the feeder.

    I put feeders in their coop with food 24x7 but they jump on top of the feeder and poop in it. And when the poop goes in their food they don't eat it anymore. A lot of their food is going to waste and I have to wash their food and water feeders every single day. They only eat some of their food...
