I never followed up, we did "surgery" in our garage with a scalpel and wire cutters, and were very successful! She has made a full recovery. Thanks for the help, Betadine was a very good idea.

They might have just seen a hawk, and mine do the same sort of sound for anything that seems off. I have one that gets ****** off over everything and does the egg sound until she's hoarse, and sometimes I have to give her a tight hug to calm her down. It could be a sign, but I would say it's...

Had our first ever fox attack a few weeks ago, after free ranging for years without any issues. Everyone was free ranging and all the sudden we spotted a fox running in the back carrying a blue silkie hen. We ran like hell after it making noise and as we approached the woods where it had gone...

Interested in the peacock if you would be able to get him to Connecticut somehow, unless we are able to find out how to make the 2 hour trip. Please PM me if you would be willing to figure something out! Also, how is his disposition? Friendly?

Everyone has such beautiful peafowl!

I have been faced with the unfortunate issue that involves a leg band becoming embedded in my hen's leg. After having this issue once before, I removed the leg bands from all my birds except for two (who I couldn't catch) and sure enough, one of those two is now limping around the coop, with a...

Awesome idea for the waterer!

Hello There. Somewhat recently we added a potbelly pig to our farm and I was wondering if anyone else here keeps theirs with chickens and ducks, because I am hoping to get some information on co-housing them. Thanks!

Nope, already did that, just encouraged it more. I have them in a wire bottom cage so hopefully that will work I am going to leave them for a week as much as I hate to do it

its all different breeds unfortunately, and even some of the less broody breeds as well

Ok folks, I am coming to you guys because I am at my last limb with my broodyness in my flock. In my flock of about 35 or 40 birds, 27 have gone broody in the last couple months!!! I am tired of explaining to egg customers that I don't have any eggs to give them, and I am tired of dumping dozens...

So sad. Can they be captured and helped or no?

Haven't been active on this thread in a while, so I am going to share my free ranging situation. This is our barn, where our Chickens, Ducks, Sheep, and in a couple weeks a pig live in their own stalls. The chickens and ducks' run has a small door (pictured near the mass of chickens in the...

Hi Folks. I free range my ~40 chickens and 2 ducks pretty often and recently a fox has been pretty bold and so have a few large red shouldered hawks and I was wondering if (in addition to being great pets) geese would protect my flock and/or alert them (and us) to predators when they are free...

Pictures? Would you deliver to Fairfield?

Why do you clip their wings? What is the purpose of doing that, since flying could help them evade predators, correct?

Decided we will no longer be rehomjng these birds, as my friend offered to trade some ducks for them, and it's more convenient to give to my friend. Sorry folks.

Hi There! Do you ever sell sexed pairs of your goslings? Any chance you will be passing by through Fairfield anytime soon? Would love to add some pilgrim geese to our flock!

that too washes downhill and doesn't work very well
