hi there,
I'm getting a silkie chick on Feb 9th and I've raised ducks but not a chick what's the absolute best diet for her? Will fruits and veggies be introduced when she gets older?
My teacher want's me to look up reinforcements for our turkeys. Such as what foods will they like the most, and the foods that they can not have. What methods to transport them pen to pen are good and what methods are bad?
I see posts on here all the time asking if people should give their chickens treats and what kind of treats they can give them. There is tons of information on here on this subject so I'm not trying to debate if you should give them treats or what to give them. I want to discuss the human...

I'm not at all affiliated with them. They just showed up on my Facebook feed and the chickens said they would stop laying if I didn't sign up for a free bag. Just thought I'd let everyone else know too!
As I read every book, every thread, and every website. I realized that something was missing; a list of fun things to feed ducks! So here it is...

i know it’s past Halloween and almost Christmas, but I realized I never did anything with some leftover pumpkins. They were rotting on my front porch, so I brought them to the backyard and grabbed my hatchet. I cut one in half, and left all of the goopy insides. Then I threw in some scratch mix...
Hello! Today, I decided to give my chickens Greek yogurt for the first time. But not just plain old Greek yogurt. Yogurt covered noodles and apples. Let me tell you, they had a lot of fun. So here are some pictures I had to share :lol:
The treat pre-chickens (one for my 4 hens, one for my 3...
I want to give my chicks a treat, resisting calling them my babies lol I can't give them scrambled eggs because they are still on, almost through, their bag of medicated chick feed, I got that because I got them from the feed store and with so many other chicks I thought they might need, but...
I am getting mealworms for the first time (only had my pullets for 4 months, first flock) and I have heard not to give them too many. So I don’t want to hurt my chickens. How many can I give them without making them sick?
My chickens are about 3-4 weeks can i start giving them treats like veggies and fruit or like yogurt (I read you can give them plain yogurt) ? Or are they still young what's the recommended age?
Hello,
My 3 pekin bantam hens and 2 silkie chicks (3 weeks old) LOVE dried mealworms. I also recently managed to grow cucamelons for the first time (the look like grape sized watermelons and taste like limey cucumbers). I was very excited about finally getting to try them but it seems the...
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...

I have two chickens approximately 4 months old (just about laying age) who's highlight of the day is getting a hard boiled egg some cheese (usually Swiss) and larger spoonful of yogurt.
Recently, a friend of my mother's who also raises chickens says that feeding them these things everyday may...
have any crazy treats you'd recommend or like to share for chickens or other game share here! The craziest thing I fed my chickens once was half a cake with a bottle of whipped topping I ran out of table scraps that day so that was their breakfast :p:pop
Hey everyone! I'm trying to get a better understanding of what people prioritize when deciding to feed their girls treats. I'm trying to get data from a wide range of backyard farmers and would love for anyone and everyone to answer a few questions.
If you could just copy the list of questions...
Good morning all,
We have a goose who protected her flock (chickens, duck, geese) from a bobcat last week. In the process, she got pretty badly beat up. Her wounds are now healing great (about 3 inches of skin ripped from her neck, eye was also bit) and she is happy as can be.
She is active...
So it's been really hot lately where I live, and my chickens have been hiding in the shady area of their run all the time so I think they're feeling the heat to. I figured the best thing to do would be to make an ice treat! I'm gonna get some stuff they like, and some water on top, freeze a...
Hi There!
I recently adopted 2 baby chickens about 4 weeks ago. They were about a week old when I brought them home. They are definitely at the awkward teenage phase currently. When I adopted them from a hatchery they recommended that I feed them "baby chick feed" which has all the nutrients...
