    BBS Orpingtons for Broody Hen-DUPED!

    Here's an update on these babies. I've attached pics of the 3 that are still part of our flock. Pics are of them at 12, then again at almost 20 weeks. Lost the black chick (cockerel), Cuckoo (pullet) and our sweet, sweet Honey to an unknown predator who got into the outdoor brooder after the...

    Chicken oddities: what’s something you wish your chicken/chickens didn’t do?

    SAME! & I constantly read of how "chickens will eat anything", " my chickens just LOVE ____fill in the blank__." But nope, not mine! I toss stuff out for them & if it's not blueberries, mealworms, or sometimes rolled oats, they look at me like I've lost my mind. Weeza then goes to squawking...

    Pastured poultry and fire ants

    I had some poultry dust already, so I sprinkled that in one of my pots where the ants were killing my marigolds. 🤬 I also sprinkled some around perimeter of the coop. Ran out before all of it got done, but figured I'd at least test with what I had and go from there. I moved the plant around...

    How the heck do I get rid of fire ants inside the chicken run?? 😱😱😱

    I've tried this. Mound just ends up popping up again elsewhere. Especially after rain, which we've had A LOT of here in the Tx Hill Country over the past 10 days. I think the ants are also getting smarter. Some of the mounds are relocating in my large potted plants. Guessing they know I'm...

    3 month old rooster - is he weird?

    I'm so sorry. I've never seen that & had no clue what it could be. So, of course, I googled it. 🤭 Obviously, I have NO idea if this is what is going on with your little guy, but at least it may serve as a starting point as you continue to try and find a way to help him. A rooster's toes...
