Gorgeous coop! Good job & thank you for rescuing the roosters! I would love to have one like this, my hens would too! Would like to see blueprints, or details of dimensions/materials and time involved to improve rating...

I realize the following links are not .org or .edu! However, this is a good source for ALL the links in one place to the FDA testing & reports since the treat problems started in 2007, as well as government sources in other countries. All easy to access from one place...

Very informative show! Must watch for everyone who wants to be informed! There are other off shoots of that show on Netflix now!

This is a very good question! China has been known to irradiate the food and treats for pets as well as use antibiotics and chemicals that are illegal here and this all has proven deadly! For example many dog treats are from China and it wasn't until thousands of dogs died that the treats were...

Thank you for asking & answering the question I never asked & needed to know the answer to! :frow

I JUST ran into the exact same problem last month & they got into my screened porch & laundry room too!!! I admit I did not read all 39 pages, I skimmed through to the end... but I didn't see this idea mentioned. Have you tried DIY rat bait NOT poisonous to your animals? I don't use anything...

Can anyone point me in the direction of someone who can add me to Florida? I sent a pm to cmom & a BYC moderator several days ago... Maybe everyone is busy with holidays or am I doing something wrong... Thank you!

You are doing everything that you can, taking all advise to heart & from the most current video, she doesn’t seem to be suffering... Keep up the good work!

When you go under his feathers, does he feel like he could have a fever?

you also might want to include picture from further away so we can see the wound relative to the size of your chicken... I’m so sorry that happened to her.

If you post on The main page under emergencies and diseases you will get a reply within minutes!

UPDATE :ya We gave both girls baths! It did turn out that the one whose behavior was more worrisome & the first egg layer (CL) had a stream of stuck excrement that had to be worked out slowly as you mentioned. I cut off a lot of it (very carefully), simply because it was a big chunk. Then worked...

Also, if you end up sending one off to a lab for necropsy, it should be on ice in a cooler!

Yes there are diseases/illnesses that can be spread by without completely incineration after death. Just do the research first, if you haven't yet. I am NOT against you doing it yourself... but since this is the third chicken to pass I can tell you that opening her up will unlikely give you an...

I am having the same issue! I just sent the question to a byc moderator... I'll let you know if I figure it out!

I asked you where you lived just in case you happened to live in Florida!!! So do I! Depending upon where you live, maybe we could work something out if you need help. I was dedicated to (mostly) canine rescue/rehab for 25 years & my heart hurt for you when I saw you concede and say you were...

What state do you live in? I don't see it , in your profile. My 2 hens aren't inside, but I truly love them. I never planned on having them & struggle because I can't give them EVERYTHING I would like to, though they're better off than most chickens...

I live in Florida! We occasionally have a few very cold days a year. I am working on a coop none the less! I had to focus on the heat & rainy season first. If I was up to me they would have everything already (honestly I wouldn't have gotten them until I had it all done, but they were purchased...

They are finishing up the bag of Nutrena Nature Wise chick starter/ Grower 18% protein crumble. I add dried herbs, small amount of DE & they get snacks of mealworms, crushed egg shell (since they started laying) & whenever I have fresh fruit & veggies that are safe I share + they love frozen...

I will look up giving them a bath on this website! I think on the one I may have to carefully cut it off, but I’ll try soaking & trying to break it up first! I don’t have a gross factor issue at all... so in this case a good thing for sure! I do worry about stressing them out too much, & causing...
