Thank you for the post, we have 32 acres - so space isnt a problem. But, the idea of maybe having to one day move a whole lot of chickens, ducks, and peacocks is tough enough...an emu sounds a bit much. They are also the same life span as a peacock, I'm 58 and maybe at 70 I’ll be a bit old to...

I feel kind of bad, these jokes are way funny just written out than when he said them.

You have done a lovely job. Not sure what one would do with dried chicks or chicken heads. Really what do they get used for?

I respect the way you kill your chickens, but I can't do it. We have around 10 rescue roosters and they will have a nice life. 9 live without incident in the same run when not let out. We do live on 32 acres, so crowing is not a problem. I don't even like chicken meat, and it's just one meal...

I've been across the country for 5 months helping care for my father so I don't have any examples to show, but can people please share how they have used the feathers from their peafowl, chickens or other pretty feathered creatures you have? As soon as I get home I will share.... I miss my...

We have 3 peacocks and I would like to sell their feathers as cruelty free feathers. Most ones you buy in the craft stores, the birds aren't coming from great lives. I just need a sure way to clean them. I soaked some in hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol for 24 after washing them in dish...

These are actually photos my husband took.

Thank you for this. I have had chickens for over 40 years and honestly I have never delt with an outbreak of any kind. Then I started looking on this site and have developed some sort of hypochondria by proxy. I must keep this stuff on hand, but everywhere I looked it only said for calves...

This is interesting. One of the Buff Orpingtons my husband adopted a while back came with black on just a few of the tips of his comb. He is very healthy so it might be frostbite in the past?

I live in Oregon where it rains something like 7 months out of the year. Your chickens should be fine as long as they have a way to get above the water. if the water is really polluted you might consider bringing them in. But they look safe to me, no more than what we deal with on any given...

How wonderful

Soft cook scrambled eggs are a good option for more solid food. They love them.
