Absolutely! Yum yum :).

I use (green) snow fencing and some posts that I bought at TSC which are plastic with hooks every coupe of inches, and a spike so that you can step on them and easily get them into the ground. Works great as a temp fence and is pretty fast to set up and remove if you only hook the fence on...

Many thanks for this. I may give it a go a bit later in the summer ;).

I'm so sorry for your lost birds. And I hope that somebody with more experience will reply, but from what I have read it doesn't sound as if the other birds attacked the newbies as surely there would have been blood drawn. There is a local forum called Poultry Talk Ontario that you may wish...

I've been raw feeding since Y2K and my dogs have always done well on it. I would never go back to kibble. It can be difficult to source raw food and it's getting harder and harder to find the variety that is essential. I also find it very time-consuming to prep the meals. I have a gulper...

It looks like a wild rose.

I once gave my chickens a cooked chicken carcass and they loved it, but one of my dogs got so miffed that she broke into the run and stole it for herself! We have a more secure enclosed run these days!

The chickens will be fine for the dogs, but please do not cook them first. Cooked chicken bones are not good.

It could be mites, lice, or maybe they are pecking each other......

Definitely put it in your composter! Start saving leaves so that you can add some when you need to. Chicken poop is GOLD for the garden, although it needs to age some before using on the veggie bed. I'm leaving mine to age for a year, but we get very cold winters where all the composting...

Thanks Townchicks. I had to give an oral anti-fungal to one of my hens and I mixed it into scrambled egg. It went well for a few days until she decided to spray the egg all over the place. I didn't think that yoghurt would be a good idea, to give an anti-fungal with, although they really LOVE...

townchicks, great idea! What kind of treat would you suggest? Linda

Wow! Thanks for the info about the ACV. I too was giving it and I had a soft-shell layer who is now a non-layer :(. BTW I heard that chickens don't always like to eat oyster shell, but that feeding their own eggshells back to them (in a separate dish) after they have been washed, dried and...

If she's not molting yet not laying, she could be sick. You probably did the best thing by separating her and making sure that she is getting food. I do hope that you will be able to figure out what is going on. I agree that it is most upsetting when they peck each other, and I found it...

Check her out for disease/mites. There could be a reason for them being nasty! I've had a similar thing with my four. The highest in the pecking order has vent gleet, and the lowest, who she always pecked and shoved out of the way is now repaying her in spades, pecking at her, making her...

That's really interesting centrarchid :). You probably forget that some of us are not nearly as knowledgeable as you about chickens, and we need you to explain what you are getting at. So perhaps my chickens are leaving the peas and corn because they are larger than the rest, yet they also...

Someone will have to conduct this experiment and explain it to those of us who do not have separate ingredients to try for ourselves. It would be interesting to know. Too bad it's such a big secret :(. My chickens don't like corn and actually toss it out of the bowl. They're not keen on...

Build another coop and run, and take his chickens when they are on your property. Maybe then HE will build a fence to keep his next flock contained.

Were there any answers on the withdrawal period for Fluconazole? I am about to use it as it's the only OTC med that I can get, and no vets around here will see a chicken :(. Linda
