    Is it really that easy to tame them?

    So, I was giving my injured female quail some mealworms and took her out to look at her toe, the swelling having gone down since yesterday... I gave her a mealworm while she was in my hands and she stopped struggling right away and ate it, I then let her go and gave her 2 more and well... Now I...

    Poisonous plants

    I just recently got two baby goats and built them a fenced in area that has quite a few plants that I'm not sure what they are, my chickens and ducks will be able to go into the pen with them so I wanted to know if the plants are safe for all of them to eat. Pictures attached

    Why are citrus fruits bad for chickens?

    I have read many posts on here about poisonous or otherwise prohibited foods, but other than one mention that citrus makes eggs taste funny, and another that it interferes with calcium absorption, I can't find any really definitive explanation of why citrus is bad. Is ANY citrus bad, or are...

    Bonding With Ducks

    Hello! I'm rather new to both BYC and owning birds. I have six chickens, a goose, and three Cayuga ducklings. I love all my birds and most of them like me back. I have one problem though. My wonderful Cayugas seemed to have really bonded with my goose and act like I'm going to kill them except...

    Fodder

    what is the best type of fodder for chickens? I hear barley isn't good cause some strange chemistry. My girls free range all day, but are too scared of making it all the way to our grassy area because it's wide open. My girls are just chicken lolz. So I want to bring what grass to them. I don't...

    Can't Find a Likeable Treat!

    This is crazy! I've read all these great posts about people giving their chicks all kinds of treats like scrambled eggs, yogurt, cut-up tangerine, or a favorite (or so it seems)...mealworms. My chicks won't touch any of these things. My 3 Golden-Laced Wyandottes are going to be 4 weeks old in...

    goose likes to eat bugs/meat?

    I thought geese only ate veggies and fruit. Two of my goslings go crazy for crickets. The female liked them especially and the male goes after ants, worm-like insects, and other bugs. Is it bad to feed them this? Should I stop?
