Move the chairs.
That ain't gonna happenDoes anyone have a suggestion how to get chickens to pick another tree to roost in? Their pooping on chairs in his "Cibolo Creek Social Club"
Move the chairs.
How big does the run need to be? I made a 2 panel hoop house this fall with 2x4 framing, it's holding up well, and shouldn't be hard to move especially if 2x6 was laid down ahead of it so it could slide on the 2x6 to the next location, I have moved the 2 panel unit a bit by myself, but if moving it much would lay lumber under it to prevent tweaking the frame. Also could use pieces of 2" PVC for rollers. However, a 3 panel unit would be much more difficult.
You know it is too much moisture. You are ok if you dump out the water and let it be dry for a day, than add one teaspoon of water eod if it is empty. If it still has water, do not add more.When my glass viewing window on the top of my incubator is steamed up,,, too much moisture? Man I have lots of tweaking to do
Unfortunately there is no answer to how close or far is not enough or too much. It will never be far enough for some diseases. With so many chickens being caged up, running through poop constantly, people buying birds from who knows where and selling or getting out of business, or giving them away, you simply can't stress about things you have little control over and just do the best you can with what you have. You are on BYC and reading and learning. That is one of the best things you can do. Absorb what you can, implement what you can, cull for disease and suffering. Do not give away your problems because you can't cull them yourself. Simply love your birds and do what is best for them. That does not mean moving them into your living room and putting diapers on them. That is taking the love to a whole new dimension. If you have to put diapers on your chickens and keep them in your living room well..to each there own and i don't care if you are weird!So if I got more birds, from an outside source, how far away from my flock do they need to be?
I'm not sure I'll ever have to buy more birds, but it's always good to have a plan. I'm actually looking forward to my Cochins having babies, and maybe some mutts with the BR.
Thanks we hung up some shiny CD's this afternoon but it didn't help at all My husband kept running them until they picked another spot (all but 1),You can temporarly cut up an old aluminum disposable pie pan. Poke a hole in the pieces, add a string and bell. Depending on your birds, the difference will make them not want to go in the tree, however, it might also make them more curious if they are really confident. I did that in my garden and it worked for a few weeks. They eventually grew more confident and realized the noise and movement was not going to hurt them.
I haven't tried them in egg salad, only scrambled. Just not my favourite. The only duck eggs we've had are Muscovy eggs. Do other duck breeds differ in taste at all? I know Muscovy really aren't ducks. That's what I keep hearing. They are more like geese.I feed duck eggs to my DH. He will not eat them if he knows it is duck eggs. I bake with them and make egg salad. Yummy
