    Can I feed my chickens salmon berries, blackberries and huckleberries?

    I have 2 month old chickens and they really like berries but what type of berries are they allowed? I feed them huckleberries sometimes but I don't know how much I should be giving them. I have a few salmon berries/blackberries as well but I am not certain if they can safely eat them or not.

    Shrimp in chicken treat mix?

    Hey guys I am new to the forum and I wanted to know if it is common to have shrimp in a treat mix for your chickens. Some site suggest it is a good way to add calcium. Is this a normal addition?

    Can ducks eat muffins as a treat?

    I’m having a party tomorrow and i thought it would be fun if the ducks could celebrate too. I’m planning on making banana muffins and put various veggies in one for my ducklings.

    Feather eating and medicated feed

    Just introduced 3 new pullets (~10 weeks old) to the flock of 5 (1.5 year olds) this week. It's going reasonably well except I see a few of the older gals are eating the young ones' medicated feed. Is that okay? Also, I saw my main egg layer, Big Mama, eat one of the smaller chickens' discarded...

    Ducklings and brine shrimp?

    We feed our betta frozen brine shrimp and I was curious if I could give some to our 3 week old ducklings as well? Maybe even our 7 week old chicks and also our hens? It's just the usual thing from petco, it comes in a tray with like 30 pouches. It takes our single betta awhile to eat one pouch...

    Ducklings foraging?

    When can ducklings be given a chunk of grass to pick at in their brooder? When can they eat grit and meal worms and that kind of stuff?

    Advice for winning my ducks over?

    I know, I know... The way to my ducks' hearts are through their stomachs. Let me tell you, they do come running up once they realize I've got a cut of tomato or perhaps some greens. But they also get some good cardio running away the moment I shift positions or go to grab more food. My ducks...

    Yogurt!

    My little ladies have not been interested in treats. After many attempts I finally got them to have some plain yogurt today, after sprinkling some Scratch and Peck herbs on top. Nutritious, messy and entertaining!

    Keeping Chickens Without Free Ranging

    Many people out there long to have our feathered clucking friends, but may not be able to free range the flock as most people are able to do. Because of this many people end up not getting chickens because they think the flock will be unhappy if they don't have access to a large yard... Well...
