    Sick and dying ducklings, help!

    We lost one of five 4 week old ducklings yesterday. Didn't have a chance to try to save her as we woke up to the final stages. We think to botulism or some other neurological toxin due to her spasms and neck craning and paralysis. Very sad. The rest seemed perfectly fine. They stayed in a safe...

    Is there anything a chicken can't eat once?

    Short version: Are there any foods that a healthy chicken cannot eat even once without suffering significant damage to their health? (Note: My question relates more to "people food" rather than toxic plants or fungi.) Long version: We are raising our first ever batch of pullets who are...
