    Chickens in nature

    Cool pictures. I'm sure they are all very quick to evade rats, and whatever else that tries to get them. They ARE smart birds, as we all know. Was that an aquatic labra-chicken ? I think I had one of them once. Lol.

    Chukar "Molly" A very talkative person. Very social. Very low-key, and kind.

    He's always near the computer asking for some grubs, or raw pistachios. His favorite, along with chia seeds. Oh, all my birds HATE that Dr. Pol stuff. Pffft ! I put some out for the crows, they didn't even want it ! 😆 It's important to me to know the best blends for my birds. People should...

    I can answer this question for everyone: He was clearly caught against his will, sent to me, after ejecting his tail feathers to escape. Lol. The other hypothesis is they wanted to fit him in the box. But he's VERY pretty, and happy now. I've had him, wow, nearly 5 years?? it makes him I think 6...

    Prolapse, right?

    Oh, just incase anyone else comes to this difficulty with their chicken/hen I copied the situation from my computer that all should know about : Calcium is important for hens that can't lay or experience prolapses because it supports proper muscle function and eggshell formation. When a hen is...

    Unable to eat the usual sunnyside-up egg after seeing hen swallow a mouse...

    Better than watching National Geographic Channel, huh? Lol. Great protein.

    Advice on which new chicks to add

    I'm laughing, because I have silkies, and they [my other birds] sure think they get better treatment and I get it ! 🤭 Other birds are always getting in their area thinking the grass is always greener. (I say, It's ALL the same, you guys !!)

    Advice on which new chicks to add

    It all has to do with territory. Start the young ones, as we all know; off to a side area where they can see the others. Then allow them to slowly enter the pecking order. I think the fights quell with enough "private" to the side "I call on this feeder, A-hole" situation. Lol. Then with the...

    You'd be surprised on how eager their excellent eyes are, and "Catch it" reactions are ! It's all protein they need, anyway. Don't fret. it's okay. Most wild mice are not ridden with any disease. Depending on where you live, and the environment the mouse scavenges from; you can judge how...

    Advice on which new chicks to add

    I would have said Barred Plymouth rocks. They really are so sweet. I got mine from Purely Poultry. I don't know how everyone feels about them, but I got great stock (" ") from them. No problems. They also are great layers. And very smart. I had mine with word commands, no fence, and knowing...

    Prolapse, right?

    I gave a "Thumbs up" because it's the best thing to do. Yes. They will peck at anything red, or fleshy. But I do feel for you as well. I still have a bunch of cool birds. Two Silkies, and Chukar partridges, which all get along. Along with my Red Golden. Who scraped the inside of my ears with...

    Prolapse, right?

    I'm sorry this happened to you. I had a hen, "Lovey" (like from Gilligan's Island, Lol) that got that. I have lousy vet choices here, most vets specialize here in cats & dogs. They put her to "her peace" but i wished something could have been done. So sorry to hear of this about your bird. Thing...

    The insanity I'm suffering with incubator setting conflicts for Chukar eggs requirements

    I found out later, now that this is 3 years later that DON'T BUY JUMBL incubators, people ! Due to the rectangular shape, the air does not circulate, nor the heat. Out of 10, you may get 2 eggs to hatch. DO NOT BUY these. If they are still on the market. Best bet are the round ones...
