"I actually have a big colony of mealworms I'm not using.  BIG. "

"How about putting their favorite food ever in it?  Like mealworms?  I know my chickens would (and DID) absolutely ANYTHING for their favorite treat."

"Not me but it's sad that we have to clean, alkalize and re-mineralize our water.  I do give my family (and my chickens) alkaline water with minerals and probiotics added. 
 
Like any living thing, your duckling may lack the ability to uptake what…"

"I feel so bad for you and your son, but if the birds are going to be carriers they (IMO) need to be culled and safely disposed of ASAP."

"Oh and Duh! (I'm slapping my forehead) Check to make sure her little butt is clean and free of anything that might impede poopies.  That can cause all sorts of distress."

"Do they need a home? I just heard about olive eggers and think that would be a brilliant addition to our flock. We like puffy cheeks and fluffy butts and we have a bit of a rescue and grow operation going over here. Give me a call and perhaps we can…"

"I read somewhere that it could be a vitamin deficiency.  B vitamins.  Someone else help flesh this out for me?"

"Bob sod hangs in there pretty well."

"If you want your sod to stay alive you can make a screen frame to put over it.  Otherwise it has a life expectancy of 3 weeks or so (guess how I know?)"

"A treadle feeder will put a stop to that.  Just Google."
