    Flock record keeping

    I was planning on getting this and adding it to my iPad for keeping track of my small flock's production. I am really not too concerned right now with the accounting portion, but think it will be great if and when we decide to expand. One question: does it have an option to add which hen is...

    I have the same problem with my approximately 28 week ameraucana. She is at the bottom of the pecking order out of our 4, but I isolate her for a few minutes when I am giving treats (meal worms, greek yogurt, etc) so she has a fair chance at getting some. She otherwise eats just fine and because...

    My Crop Tube Feeding Journey With My Bird (Pics For Visuals- VERY detailed Post)

    @casportpony I will be ordering tubes for feedings as soon as possible to add to my emergency kit. I have another question though and you seem to be a pretty good authority on the subject, so I figured it would be best to ask here. I have a single Australorp hen (Violet) and we lost her coop...

    Anyone else dealing with fly strike this summer?

    They aren't modified, the are just monitored. They are only allowed to stay on the wound for a specific amount of time in a carefully controlled environment, before they are removed and replaced if need be. I have seen them work wonders on some gnarly infected wounds. Still makes me queasy though.

    Single chicken after predator attack

    Sorry to hear about your girls as well. It's a lot tougher than you think it will be. Glad to hear all are well now.

    Will definitely be checking the Apple Valley Feed Bin as well as Craig's List for anyone who has hens locally.

    Single chicken after predator attack

    I have a similar situation. Our last girl Violet is an Australorp and never had any problems with out other girl. She doesn't seem to be aggressive to me, although maybe a tad skittish when I first attempt to pick her up. Any breeds I should avoid? Hoping to pick up 2 from a local breeder here...

    Thanks for the advice. It is definitely nasty stuff and I see a lot of nasty stuff because I work in an ER. I was thinking about getting 2 more, maybe 3, but definitely no roo.

    Anyone else dealing with fly strike this summer?

    I live in Apple Valley, CA and it is typically dry, but due to the monsoons we have had it has been much more humid and flies have been a HUGE issue. I have been keeping my coop clean for my 2 girls, but one had a dirty bum and got fly strike. Unfortunately we were out of town last week and I...

    HELP! Vent Gleet and MAGGOTS on my hen!

    Ugh, I am so sad, I think one of my girls has this. I am just beside myself that I didn't notice anything wrong sooner. Going to try another bath tomorrow morning, but I am fearing we will lose her.
