I have picked up new skin, bactrim and a wound wash from CVS as delivery was going to take way too long.

I do not have nuskin, but I will get some! Is it just the stuff from a pharmacy? She is eating and drinking fine, she just laid an egg too. I have her in a dog crate in my office so she’s separated and in a quiet environment.

My dark Brahma, Clarice was attacked last night just after dusk, went out to lock up and she wasn’t on her roost, found a clump of feathers with tissue attached and her huddled in a corner of the run. I have removed her, cleaned the wound and treated with vetericyn (what I have on hand). She is...

I hope wasn’t her:/ she’s not as broody as the hen that is sitting but she cuddles up with her. It’s the only explanation I have at this point.

I do not, it’s a stand alone building and it’s hot as heck here, keep it closed up to keep it cool.

It’s the weirdest thing! They are inside in my office which is detached from my house. Kids are little and no access without me as I lock it up (computer equipment) the kids are also afraid of chickens so I don’t believe they’d even try. I searched her, I searched her pen mate, I searched the...

I have 2 silkie girls I got a couple weeks back who immediately laid 2 eggs, the gal I got them from said the eggs could be fertile and the girls were very broody so I let them go. The eggs are fertile and developed as expected. One started to pipe yesterday, at day 18. Letting nature take its...

Forgot to include her age, She is 16 weeks old.

My suspected cockerel was confirmed last week when he started to crow. I had Always believed he was male and my buff was female. Now I’m second guessing it... what do you think, pullet or cockerel?

That sounds horrible! I hope it doesn’t escalate to that degree. I’m going to try to be pleasant but I’m doing my research. We are going away this weekend and I fear she’ll call someone before we get our ducks in a row and my pet sitter will have to deal with it:/ I’m ordering cameras for my...

Oh how I would love to move to Washington! More my speed :) The little area where I live, there are lots of chickens and urban farmers. Seems that the people that have issues with it are older and do not appreciate the change in their neighborhoods. I really didn’t believe we’d have an issue...

I don’t have a great feeling either:( I’m sure this is going to blow up. I’m working on getting ahold of the entire ordinance to make sure I’m 100% in compliance, I think I have to move my coop as it’s within 5ft of her property and I am told that is in the oridinance. Where it is now is the...

Well, she was just looking over my fence! Nothing has been said but when she saw me she ducked out.

I don’t know who she’s been in contact with yet, I don’t know if she went to immediate neighbors or just the bordering neighbors. I don’t know how to handle that one yet. I may wait and see what the fall out, if any, looks like. We also have a pretty close knit nextdoor following. I was thinking...

Me too! It’s a dirty move, if she had general concern she would come to me first. This is literally the first time in the 2.5 years we’ve lived her she’s talked to us. We have a sign in our yard that says we welcome and love all our neighbors (summary) and she pointed that out “I see you love...
