    Hello! I've come to humbly beg for help. I irresponsibly made the decision to adopt a Flemish Giant without already having a home set up for him. He has a temporary set up in my bedroom, but we would like to place him outside in about a month because that is when we plan to acclimate our...

    E. Coli Infection in Trachea and Capallaria Parasites - Please advise

    Hello all - A little over a month ago I made the very regretful mistake of introducing 7 new pullets (age 12 weeks) to my original flock of 10 (age 2 years) without giving them a proper "quarantine period." Horrific, unfortunate, lesson learned. I had them all in the same run, although I had...
