    Pullet or Cockerel?

    I agree with the consensus: Both look like roos to me. But after getting 15 Ameracaunas in a straight run, it is tough! Mine are now 6 months old, and it looks like one I thought for sure was a hen is turning into a roo. They can all mature at different rates, even though they were born on the...

    Raccoons, rats, and capsaicin

    Red poop

    Attaching hardware cloth to run. Inside or outside?

    It's a little late for me, but thank you for the advice with the staples. Are pneumatically driven ones with a compressor? I just know that my original stapler that was 50 years old was doing a fine job, until it broke midway through. I bought at least 8 different staplers, and the same amount...

    Apple cider vinegar for Chicks?

    I too don't really believe all the apple cider vinegar myths. I have been using it in dog's food for months, but see no benefit whatsoever. I don't think it benefits anyone but maybe humans, and that is the placebo effect.

    Do you Clean out poop from the run?

    I clean my out twice a day. I was trained early on by my parents when we had horses. I even go through the shavings on a daily basis and hand pick (for the most part!) out the poop! My dad had a thing about picking up horses poop, even the ones in the pastures, so I am used to it. In the run, I...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    I should transfer my pics from my phone to my computer, but lately I haven't had the time! Today I had to investigate, as one of my 4-month-olds has diarrhea. I picked up each one, checked their tailfeathers/rear and on the last one got my answer all over me!
