    Marek's survivor - reintegration w/ flock?

    I have been pretty discouraged here, not showing any progress. I have been continuing baby aspirin and hypericum. Last night I started massaging his legs and feet. This morning he is a lot less floppy and he seems to be doing a little better getting around. Today I laid him upside down in my lap...

    Marek's survivor - reintegration w/ flock?

    oh I forgot about the nutritional yeast. I gave it to him for a bit, but wasn't sure he liked it. He absolutely loves watermelon, but I try not to give him much in favor of denser nutrients

    Marek's survivor - reintegration w/ flock?

    We are just getting ready to get chicks. When our kids were young they had heritage breed poultry that they showed in 4-H. Now that they have their own kids they have been wanting "us" to get them again. We were happy to oblige, but we may have forgotten a lot. We ordered mostly brown leghorns...

    What is this hawk doing??? In a winter storm

    We lost a sweet brahma to a coopers hawk that walked into the open coop door during the day and right into the enclosed run. When I saw it was too late. I knew Dr. Heinz Meng at the time ( Who was the first to bred peregrine falcons in captivity) he came and took him away. Dr. Meng was...
