    How big of a swim area?

    I have an old garden bathtub we took,out of our house I am in the process of converting into a swim area for mine. It is more of a pond shape....wide and oval with a sitting area making it slightly triangular. It is made of plastic (possibly PVC?) so was easy to cut with an electric saw. I...

    I Forgot to Lock Them Up Last Night !

    I've done the opposite......open the people door in the morning to feed and they all come rushing out, then forget to open their "chicken sized door". By night fall they are all perched on my porch steps going to sleep because I hadn't realized they can't get back in.

    How to care for injured dove?

    I have a leghorn about 3yrs old. She has been my best layer since day one however this past winter finally took a break for her molt.

    Head pecking

    get some rooster booster...it's dark purple stuff you can put on the head that will help it heal and taste bad to keep others from picking it.

    I'm pretty sure if the skin area right above the beak is dark (or blue) it is a male.
