I have 2 little poults, I think a male and female. The female runs all around and the male doesn't seem to be in a hurry to go anywhere. He just mosies along and eats bugs. He's eating and drinking, just not running around like his sister. Is this normal?
I have several varieties but recently bought a rainbow. When I bought it, it had light pink flowers with beautiful yellow centers. It started to bloom again this past week and all the flowers are dark pink with no yellow anywhere. I am baffled, I saw the beautiful rainbow roses with the yellow...

If you have a girl who is darn near perfect with her lacing and color and you have a boy with poor lacing, is it possible for them to produce babies with good lacing?
I just picked up a pair of Silver Sebrights. I am not crazy about the boy but the little girl is beautiful! I was wondering what...

I treated my birds last week with the Ivermectin cattle pour on treatment. I have been searching and I see some people say YES you can eat them, others say NO. Which is it?
I have been reading and reading on here for days about the ivermec pour on how and what it is used for. I found some buggies on my birds so instead of dusting each one, I decided to give the ivermec a try. I put 4-5 drops on the large fowl and 2 drops on the silkies. (the silkies are in a...
