For the past few days, our cockerel has had trouble breathing. After crowing, he takes a deep breath, and after walking a few steps, he takes another deep breath. You can hear a wheezing sound from his neck or mouth, and he has lost his appetite. Additionally, he has numerous wounds on his comb...
Hi friends!

About 7 month ago my duck had a small odd growth that kept growing untill it was pretty big, then one day I went out to check on the ducks when it had just fallen off and left a hole. I thought it was a good thing and that it could finally heal but it just won't heal. It stayed as a black scab...

It would be nice if they could nest this Spring, but we don't know what sort of place they'd like to nest.
We also don't know what sort of nesting material they favour (just straw?).

Help! I grabbed a head of iceberg lettuce and gave the chickens a few leaves and let them peck at it. They ate less than a half of the whole head. I’m reading now that it is toxic to them. What are signs I should look out for?! I’d hate if something happened to them. I didn’t know!!! Please help!
