I heard daikon radish grows well where I live so I ordered some seeds. The plants did well but I planted them too late and they ended up starting to bolt. I didn’t like the bitterness so I gave some to my chickens, greens and all. It seems like it is their favorite treat just under mealworms...

I would like to hear about everyone's feeding regimen? I just had my first chicken death. No symptoms or signs. She was totally fine, running around yesterday, and then walked out to the coop this morning and she fell dead from her roosting bar. No blood, no nothing. I am thinking a possible...

Some of you might know that I recently hatched out 20 chicks. Now I'm lost on what to give them for treats, because I tried boiled mashed eggs and they seem to be turning their beaks up at it. I tried bits of grape, a bit of apple, and a bit of celery, but everything else... Well let's just say...

I am raising out a batch of heritage turkeys (mix of Bourbon Red, Black, and Midget White) and they are doing great. After two years in a row of them roosting on top of the chicken coops and other buildings and pooping and subsequently fouling (fowling?) my rainwater collection systems, I have...

I would love to try fried insect in Thailand:D At least I bought fried salted crickets and it is very delicious with homemade mayonnaise. I'll admit that despite my initial reluctance, I've become addicted to insect treats and can never get enough of them. I empathized with the role of our...

I've seen a lot of tiktoks of people taking their pets to Starbucks for a "pup cup" (it's just a small cup of squirty cream) and I was wondering if that was safe for ducks and chickens? It looks like a fun treat for the flock, but obviously I don't want to make them sick!

Hello everyone. About a month or so ago, I purchased a high quality rabbit forage mix from a very popular, five star, high quality Etsy seller.
