    Bees in Run/Coop

    Thank you for everyone's comments & suggestions. I put some feed powder (just a bit) on top of the fence and tried to clean up most of the spilled feed around the feeders. There were still a few bees yesterday, maybe 5 or 6, but this morning, NOTHING 🤞!! Not even at the dish on top of the wall...

    Bees in Run/Coop

    Yea, I agree. I've seen a few of them fly over a brick wall separating my backyard from an alley, but from there I'd have no idea. I have checked my trees and I don't see/hear anything yet but I'll check again tomorrow.

    Yea, ill have to look and see if I can figure out where their hive is now. It's not in the trees, that I can see anyways.

    Bees in Run/Coop

    I am not sure what kind they were, but the guy said he took the queen with a large portion of the hive, and told me the hive had honey and that it was about the size of a beach ball or bigger. He said I probably got too close or they felt threatened by me because as soon as the first one stung...

    Bees in Run/Coop

    So, I am not sure what to do, or if there is anything to be done. A bit of background: Back in May 2024 a swarm of bees attacked my partner, four of our dogs, and myself while we were out doing yard work. They had built a hive in an orange tree (about the size of a beach ball), that we were...

    Just Dandruff?

    I know the girls do groom him, and my OG hens are ALWAYS right there with him so I will try to see how aggressive their preening is. Whatever's going on with him is definitely worse than it was the first time I posted. I inspected him for at least 20 minutes today trying to find anything that...

    What is my rooster doing? 🤔

    Video looks like he's 'protecting' them, he's telling them it's not safe out there and rounding them up to the 'safety' of the coop. My roo used to do this, when they were all younger, he wouldn't let anyone out of the coop. He doesn't do this anymore, they are all older, and rounds them up...

    Just Dandruff?

    I looked up depluming mites but he doesn't seem to have any bugs on him, no spots or eggs, just the crusty white 'dandruff and rock clumps of it. Do I just not see it or is it something else? Had my husband take the pictures while I held Crazin; hope they are clear enough.

    Just Dandruff?

    I think I should be worried now, or at least this needs some intervention, he can't be too comfortable. Any assistance is appreciated: So since he didn't seem to get worse, I stopped harassing him for a while and checked him again today, it has spread drastically. The 'bald spot' is all over...

    Can my chicken have died of a broken heart??

    I am SOOOO sorry for your loss. I am like you, I see my chickens like part of my family and I would be equally heartbroken. In fact I recently was when we lost one of ours earlier this year. I have had to learn that sometimes there is nothing to be done. There is no way you could have know it...

    Moodleroni Farms - My 'Chicken Math' Origin Story

    It's official, all my hens are laying!!!:wee:yesss: Sesame^, the last/smallest of our pellets, is now laying little green eggs! I've got 11 hens & 3 roos, everyone gets along, except for the expected pecking, and they all seem fat & happy which is all I ever want. The roos have a very defined...

    Just Dandruff?

    Yes, so far so good on our end. It's still there but it's not worse, doesn't seem to bother him too much and no other signs of anything wrong so I'm not too worried anymore.

    Moodleroni Farms - My 'Chicken Math' Origin Story

    It's crazy NOT to say thank you! :bow Yea, it's lucky mine also lay fairly different egg shapes/colors/sizes from one another, and I also thank them individually. Teriyaki started laying 2 days ago, a light green one, so now I've got one left before they are all "laying rent." 10 down, 1 to...
