    Help!! Raising Chicks with a Cat3/4 Hurricane Coming

    Thank you everyone @BigBlueHen53 @Logar for all the well wishes. Luckily I was able to get a hold of a smaller generator. I doubt I will be able to get a hold of the shipping packs, but I’m asking around with some of our reptile breeder friends near by in the event (god forbid) something goes...

    Help!! Raising Chicks with a Cat3/4 Hurricane Coming

    I hatched out 10 beautiful Button Quail Chicks 10/6 and have five eggs I’m waiting on in the incubator. I’m here is South Florida and we are nervously expecting Hurricane Milton to land this week. Luckily we will be on the out skirts, but I’m freaking out over possibly not having a heat source...

    URGENT: Torn Skin and a Need for Advice

    UPDATES! She’s doing amazing, thanks to the amazing help of you guys. I have kept her inside with occasional play time out with the girls. Do you guys think she’s healed enough to stay in full time?

    URGENT: Torn Skin and a Need for Advice

    She’s been behaving great, she is active and very alert. Only signs of pain are sometimes when I have to clean her wounds and reapply triple antibiotic creams.

    URGENT: Torn Skin and a Need for Advice

    Definitely have to get saline to flush her out and will stop on the hydrogen peroxide! Most of the skin seems live still (im not sure how as though it’s connected to most of the other 1st layer skin, but the portion is not attached to the actual body). The skin flap seems to be inhibiting...

    URGENT: Torn Skin and a Need for Advice

    Thank you for the advice about hydrogen peroxide and alcohol! The issue lies in the fact that the spot in the picture is completely covered by live skin, I’m concerned about it staying covered and if the skin is removed, how to go about it

    URGENT: Torn Skin and a Need for Advice

    To clarify I was doing this for every other wound, the covered flap didn’t receive the care as I didn’t realize how deep it was until today

    URGENT: Torn Skin and a Need for Advice

    This is directly under her wing, I’ve been cleaning with alcohol and hydrogen peroxide, applying medicinal honey and triple antibiotic cream and then wrapping it

    URGENT: Torn Skin and a Need for Advice

    About six days ago my girl was mauled and I have been tending to her wounds, one of her injuries was the first layer of skin being ripped off her. What I didn’t notice was she has a very deep flap hiding the second layer of skin that is detached from the second. It looks quite nasty. Our vet is...

    Is they’re any money in Poultry Shows

    Now it begs the question, we don’t care if there isn’t any money, but can you make money off show birds. It would be a plus to recoup funds ✨✨

    Should I cover or not cover my run? Pros and cons.

    Depending on the size of the windows, and the amount of wind and shade near your coop. My coop has a shade tree above is, and the windows are very large. If you feel the need to get a fan especially in the summer (I've been thinking about getting one). You can get a small electrical fan and...
