    getting baby chicks, any advice?

    Or use a quail chick waterer as it's wide enough for a bird to drink but too narrow for them to drown in even without marbles

    Clanker answering calls at my vet, a vent thread

    I would go in person to tell them what happened and how it made you feel (calmly and politely of course). If enough people complain they might do away with it, if they don't then at least they can't say they weren't warned. AI is only really good for simple stuff (like checking when your...

    Chick that fell off a truck. Sex? Breed? Age? Anything?

    Looks to be female and not a meat or production breed and of egg laying age but that's about all I can say. I would try and see if you can find her owner as she's probably from a smaller farm

    Looking to change layer feeds - Opinions needs

    That particular theory is not true though. It was spread by people who didn't understand that hens usually take a break for fall and winter and usually restart once days get longer and they naturally lay less as they get older. If such a drug existed never mind trying to make people's hens lay...

    Things you wish you could say

    It might be? I also know he hates cream cheese so idk if he'd like that recipe As for me I love lumpy mashed potatoes (I'll eat smooth but I prefer the texture of lumpy) with the skin 'cause I want all the vitamins and fiber the potato has to offer and enjoy the earthy flavor they add. I do...

    Things you wish you could say

    He knows where eggs comes from lol, he just has odd takes (which I completely disagree with) on certain foods. Main one I can think of offhand is he likes mash potatos but only the instant ones out of a box, he hates homemade

    (I was wrong!!)Pretty disgusted with Murray McMurray Hatchery

    You can't make a hen go broody, either she will or she won't. As for putting her back outside, do the see but no touch method for slowly introducing her back to the flock

    That chewy didn't send the wrong feed, easy mistake IG the packaging does look almost the same and I didn't even notice until I was filling the feeders and the pellets looked smaller than usual. Thankfully chewy customer support was really helpful (and I got a human right away without needing to...

    If Chickens Could Speak, What Would Yours Complain About?

    Things you wish you could say

    Most of the birds are laying now and we have a fair bit of eggs, why are you buying store brought eggs? We have fresh eggs laid by happy healthy hens some of which lay eggs larger than the ones you're buying yet you prefer the store brought eggs? Welp

    Sudden rooster aggression

    That's..... concerning. Human aggressive animals should never be used in a breeding program, ever. I would not get more birds from them as if birds with blatantly bad attitudes are allowed to breed then you are likely to get more ill-tempered birds

    Sudden rooster aggression

    Not usually. Some people have luck reforming aggressive roos but they are the exception and not the rule. I also vote to cull him, this is likely to just get worse and even if you can get him to leave you alone he won't be trustworthy around others and he'll likely pass on his awful attitude to...
