I hope this hasn’t been asked before. I did check and didn’t see anything. I have a flock of 15 chickens and 6 ducks. They range from 1-7 years. A few girls have seemed not 100% and some poops have been loose. I regularly inspect poops and noticed one with live tapeworm segments and...

Hi all, I need some help treating chicken mites! I have a small flock of 8 (pet)chickens that are 5 years old. A few months ago I noticed they were attacking one hen so she know lives in a cat carry in my house at night and gets let out into the yard during the day. A few days ago I noticed...

This evening my 2 yr old hen was acting kinda funny so I decided to bring her in for a warm water soak and upon carrying her in she got yolk all over both of us. I noticed a long grey tube coming from her vent but I didn’t want to pull or push it because I’m not sure what it is. She enjoyed a...

just wondering what people use for quail bedding? I’m in northern Ontario and bring my babies inside for the winter months and use pine shavings, however it gets so insanely dusty so fast and my DH is not impressed. I was thinking of trying paper pellets and then giving them a pan with sand or...

just wondering if I can get away with buying feed I can use for my quail and ducklings. My quail are 6 and 9 weeks and my ducklings are 3 weeks.

this is my first time incubating duck eggs(I’ve done 2 chicken hatches). Can someone let me know how the air cells look? For the humidity I am trying to go by air cell size. I had a good hygrometer last year and it broke- it would read 4% lower than what the machine said - so with that in mind...

so I finally figured out what was wrong with my 11 chickens. I had checked a few of my girls and didn’t see anything so I dismissed the idea of external parasites but they kept twitching, ruffling their feathers and over preening so I knew something had to be on them. I decided yesterday to buy...
