    gagging chicken and refusal to go in the coop *Update* She died.

    So sorry to hear about the demise of your girl. Its always upsetting to lose one. It never gets any easier. As far as the rodents are concerned, if you havent already, adopt a few barn cats. We have one huge barn cat, Abbey who is an excellent rodent terminator. There are cat rescues in the area...

    Giving My Silki hens an Hair Cut

    I am eager to hear how active the hen becomes after her new hair doo. Rag Mop, the black silkie, had a chick after she bred with my Americauna roo, Puff Daddy. . I think Puff Daddy liked her hair cut too! The chick is hilarious looking. He has cheek puffs and a natural mohawk. He is just as...

    Giving My Silki hens an Hair Cut

    Hey Bean, I just cut about half the length of the hair. I left a top tuft which made her look like she has a Mohawk. So cute. As soon as the Sultan can see, she will be a whole new bird. I couldn't believe the change in RagMop when I cut her hair. She went from completely sedentary to a bouncy...

    Calling all Blind chicken experts!

    I love your post. Your so right about starting the blaze of gentleness. I just dont understand cruelty of some people. How ever did they evolve to be so evil. My farm is full of rescues from the dog, cats and hens. They are all wonderful, sweet beings and they give back more love and laughs that...

    Calling all Blind chicken experts!

    I recently rescued a battery hen. Her beak was half cut off and she was pretty shell shocked from the inhumane treatment of factory farming. I put her in with my blind hen, Helen. Battery hens have no idea of how to act like a normal hen. They cant defend themselves from other hens and tend to...

    Best Rooster Names?

    I purchased a young Americauna roo from the local auction. What a nice bird he is. I decided to name him Khan from Star Trek. Since he is an AmeriKHANa roo, I thought that was appropriate. Now I have his son, which is almost identical and am having a hard time naming him.

    Giving My Silki hens an Hair Cut

    Well, thank you, but I am lucky to have her! Tomorrow I will introduce her to some of the flock and see how she does. They are all rescues and each one has her own story. If anyone bullys her too much, I will scoop her up. I have a small banty that bullys the big ones so hopefully the big ones...

    Giving My Silki hens an Hair Cut

    Wow, what a difference the hair cut made! I bought a small, skinny, raggedy silkie at the auction last tuesday. I have a huge flock of rescued hens but no silkies. I put the little bird in the stall with my blind hen, Helen. The silkie chirped and went under Helen. They became immediate buds. I...

    I too have a blind hen named Helen. She was attacked by a hawk and sustained injuries to her eyes and head. I isolated her and treated her wounds. She survived but was completely blind. The flock go into a barn at night and roost in a stall. I made up a stall for Helen. I put her water in a big...

    poke weed and poke berries

    My free rangers seek out the poke week in the pasture and eat the berries. The leghorns get the stains on their necks from all the gorging. They have been doing this for years, spreading the poke weed seeds in their poop. Nothing has happened to them. And we have new chicks as well. Chickens are...
