    Water between the membrane...

    I bought several new breeds of birds through the purchase of eggs. I'm not a novice at producing clutch rates at better than 75%. I think it would be higher but... The folks I purchased from were online and very nice. I believe I was sent decent eggs. I'm not asking for a guarantee. But I store...

    Hen only drinks water, swollen crop, normal breath and behavior

    Hello! I am new to the community, however I've been enjoying advice from BackYard Chickens for quite some time. About 5 days ago my 2 year old hen (White Ameraucana) slowed her food intake and has been drinking excessive amounts of water for 5-15 minutes at a time. For the past 2 days she has...

    Essential Oils

    I have been hearing about how farmers are adding Oregano to water to help keep their chickens healthy. I sell EO's so I have lots on hand and I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience adding Oregano EO (or any other oil) to their birds water. If you've tried it, I'd love to hear back from...

    Hens stopped drinking from nipples?

    So, my 5 hens have decided the nipple waterer is taboo... I noticed the water levels haven't been going down over the last few days, but credited it to cooler weather, and the hens not needing as much water to stay cool. But today when I got home and let them out, they rushed the open waterer...

    Duck pool in winter?

    I am 99.9% sure you don't need water in winter, but I thought I'd ask anyway. :-) Also, what preperations would I need to take for winter?

    Feeding ducklings at night and when to stop

    My ducklings are almost three weeks old and I wanted to know if this is an okay age to stop feeding them 24/7? I bring them in (it's been hot so I let them go outside during the day) around 7 PM and let them back out at 9 AM. Is that an okay amount of time for them to be without food or water at...

    Ducklings scared of kiddy pool

    I have (2) 6wk old pekins and (2) 4wk old cayugas and they are all terrified of their new kiddy pool. They loved swimming inside in the sink and bathtub when they were younger (and smaller) but now want nothing to do with swimming. They are obviously hot (panting in the shade) but won't swim. Help?
