God CAN still heal today, but sometimes He also wants us to do what we can do. Including setting our priorities correctly. Not to knock on you, but you let it go for a few days and prioritized other things. 🫣
I’m so glad you got proper medicine and will be praying for quick relief from this...
Praying it’s just a little set back for Lil Bit, and that the next update is about extreme improvement! ❤️
You can’t carry that, there’s no point. Every decision we make in life carries some risk. You’re not expected to know how every circumstance will end, so don’t expect that of yourself. If...
I’m you’re in such a tough spot, seemingly not only with chickens. ❤️ Praying your eyesight never leaves, and you one day have a beautiful flock to behold and cherish. I don’t say any of that lightly, either. I say it as someone who has experienced unexplainable miracles, that radically...
You have a beautiful set up! My chickens free range but I wanted to ask if any tall weeds have any chance of sprouting up in their run? I found this picture from someone else on BYC. My chickens have a lot of bushes, woods and high weeds to take cover in, that they much prefer over our porches...
I free range mine and have never had luck like that. 😂 However I find several factors have mattered for me in the past. 1 - who the head hen is, and 2 - the breed of chickens I have at the time. When I had an aggressive head hen, she was aggressive to chicks and led the other hens to the same...
Fortunately the kids understand the nature of these things. I included them in the discussion of rehoming, and even the one that got pecked wanted him to stay, until I explained we have even littler feet to consider. Then she was on board. They’re being raised that ALL animals are exactly...
So this same rooster has now drawn blood on my 8 year olds foot, and pecked mine with intention of hurting me (skinned me some but I didn’t bleed). He runs at us in the yard, there doesn’t seem to be rhyme or reason to it. We’re not within even 20 feet of his flock when it’s happened. This...
“It would help me sleep better at night time if you came down out of the tree and went in to the coop I very specifically designed and purchased for you.”
I wasn’t expecting the peck, because there was no body language I noticed leading up to it other than possibly curious. I’m not ALWAYS known for my observation skills though. I was also in their area getting water so I wasn’t sure if it was a territory thing. I’m going to pay attention to all...
This is helpful, thank you!! I’ll read the article now.
I did have a rooster draw blood before so I knew the peck could have been much harder. I was thankful it wasn’t! 😂
I shouldn’t laugh, but it did make me laugh! I don’t. I did wonder if I had a cut in that spot or anything he was drawn to but there wasn’t anything there. That’s a good thing to keep in mind though!!
