    Comment by 'FigwithBraids' in article 'Vent Gleet aka Nasty Chicken Butt'

    our 6 Bar-rock free range hens have been getting some plums, nectarines and tomatoes that were low hanging fruit and knocked out by squirrels and other birds. I now have a hen who has poop stuck to her vent and am wondering if the extra fruits may have been the reason for the problem, I have...

    New Rooster crow dampening, noise reducing device

    We just had to end a beautiful Bar Rock because of the noise, I was so very sad as he was a wonderful bird, this would have possibly saved all of us from the grief, we raised him from a little feed-store chick, we have another one who is growing up and starting to crow and would be thrilled to...

    Metal corrugated roof! Ugh...

    for a quick fix (until you can put the plywood then tar-paper then the metal roof...tar-paper to protect the plywood from the metal condensation) maybe tack up some sheet plastic to catch the drips and channel it away from the birds? I feel sad for you having spent so much on a potentially...

    This showed up on our doorstep ...a Quail?

    yes I did take it when it was huddled and asleep ...we tried to turn it loose and it came right back to our doorstep and there are WAY too many free range cats in our hood to just hope it can survive, it seems to be somewhat domesticated so I guess we now have a little bobwhite! his whistles are...

    This showed up on our doorstep ...a Quail?

    it seems to be eating and drinking fine. we will watch it to see if it is healthy...I think it is a domestic quail and may have pulled a jail break from a neighbor. I have it inside in a carrier (I do wildlife rehab at times so we have them at the ready) but this doesn't look like the quail I...

    Idaho?

    I am in southern Idaho, Twin Falls. and live on 'the other side of the tracks' where the houses are old and small, the yards are big with old (and as of late new) fruit trees, gardens and lots more chickens than the city knows about <grins> I had 2 wild bronze turkeys for a couple years before...

    Chickens not laying, not eating, not coming out of coop

    I know ours started to get that way and for the 43 cent price of a bunch of cilantro at the grocery store some fresh chopped herbs brought her right back out of her funk...and ever since I have made it a point to bring her at least a handful of new tender grass or dandelion leaves I gather on...
