Hey. We are located in middle Tennessee in a very rural area. We are planning on getting a pair of mini donkeys soon. We are currently installing 48” high fencing around where the donkeys will be. We are now planning out their shelter. Some folks around here just do a 3 sided structure but we...

Hi! We are into our 6th year keeping poultry. We started with chickens and have since added ducks, geese and guineas. My husband had wanted to add turkey to the flock but I read that it is sometimes advised against due to blackhead. Then he suggested peafowl. I am the one in the family that does...

I’m sorry that happened to you. I was looking to purchase a Buff Brahma hen to replace mine that suddenly passed today. She was my little son’s chicken and family favorite and I don’t have the heart to tell him. Anyway, I was going to go there tomorrow to pick a few up but before doing so I...

This is really misleading. What about the pictures on google review of your farm with literally dead birds in pens?

Hi, my ducks are on a flock maintainer, because they share a pen with chickens and geese. I use nutritional yeast sprinkled in with their feed all the time.

I did read somewhere they banned battery cages in the UK about 10 years ago or so? Over here we are clearly savages still. It’s just so inhumane, I hope things change in the US eventually!

Wow very interesting. And not in a good way. 😒

Hi no I have not. We haven’t bought eggs in several years and I didn’t even know there was a phone number on the cartons. I will check that out. Thank you.

Hi all! I have a flock that consists of chickens, ducks, and geese. For the longest time I have wanted to get ex battery hens. I have searched and searched online and no luck. I live in middle TN and am willing to drive a bit. We get way too many eggs as is and just give them to friends family...

Hi! We currently have chickens, ducks and geese. For the longest time I have wanted to adopt some ex battery hens. I cannot for life of me find out where or how to do this. It seems so difficult. I am located in middle TN but willing to drive a bit. Thanks in advance. -Claire

Thank you for your lengthy response. I appreciate it. I am going to try to tape it. Would you be to send me a link to a video of how to do it properly? And one wing? Or both wings? I have vet wrap and I also have duct tape. The coop they are in has as a steep ramp to get outside to their pen. I...

https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/sebastopol-gosling-with-droopy-wings.538744/ Here is the thread. What do you think? All ideas are appreciated- I just want to get this baby’s wing right! 😊

Thank you for your response! I had read a different post here about a Sebastapol goose with the same wing slip who was about the same age. The person posting said they had the goose on a 20% feed and people commented saying that was too high to either switch it to a 16% feed or keep the current...

Hi! We have had chickens and ducks for years but this spring we got geese. We have a pair of Sebastapol geese whom we got at two days old, and are currently 7.5 weeks old. About two weeks ago, I noticed one wing on one of them seemed to keep slipping down and she has to keep lifting it up. All...

Did you have any luck figuring out what was wrong?

Ok I see the nutritional yeast on eBay. Can you tell me how much you are mixing into their feed? Thank you.

Great thank you so much! I’m at TC now, and I’m looking at the Purina duck feed… it has the same amount of niacin as the feed I’m using… 25mg per pound which apparently isn’t enough. But I got the Vitamin B complex and will get the nutritional yeast asap. I have some at home already as I’m a...

I am currently keeping my ducks and chickens separately but free ranging together. I did this solely because I thought it would be easier to give the ducklings their duck feed and not have to worry about supplementing niacin if I was giving them a general poultry feed. I was misinformed by the...

Thank you for your helpful reply. Would you mind telling me if the rest of the feed’s nutritional values look ok? And this way I just supplement for the missing niacin? Or would you suggest I switch to a totally different feed? Thanks again.

I can’t thank you all enough for your replies. I will be heading to Tractor Supply this morning to get the Vitamin B. Going forward can y’all recommend what I could do to rectify this problem. Can I ask what specific feeds you all are using/ brewers yeast or nutritional yeast. I just want the...
