    hi Fingers74 - sorry to hear about the loss of your girls. There is a product called a Pet containment system by PetSafe. it is an electric wire you run around the perimeter or your chook pen. you can bury the wire just under the ground so its out the way or you can just hang it at dog height on...

    Fancy is this weather you've had over the last few months normal for Tassie? if it is I don't know where you get the strength to keep doing it all over again. I'm still trying to find time to finish my primary coop and run objectives, let alone rebuilding or even just straightening it out again...

    we found a young python in our chook run about six months, so I bought two solar snake repellers that go into the ground and send out a vibration and sound every 30secs or so and placed them either side of the run. We have not seen a snake since or lost any birds to them (I really hope I don't...

    Thanks Fizzybelle. I will get the vet details off you anyway - just in case I ever need them.

    Thanks Teila and sorry about Wombles Fancy. I got the antibiotics today so will start administering. I did put garlic flakes in the water yesterday morning since I didn't yet have the AB's and when I got home last night her swelling was gone and the eye was normal. Her nose did still have...

    Fancy - no I haven't looked in her ear. but I will be as soon as I get home. Is there anything inparticular I should be looking for?

    Thank you FancyChookLady. I am headed straight online for some antibiotics now. While I had been trying to be calm and positive, given your knowledge and experience with birds I am freaking out now and treating the situation as worst case scenario (I have about 30 other birds to try and keep...

    Good morning all, I would appreciate any thoughts anyone may have on my current chicken health issue. One on my French Marans has a swollen right side of the face, watery/frothy right eye, and did have some yellow discharge from her right nostril. All symptoms are contained to her right side...

    hi Anniebee I bought myself a metal yard cart from Bunnings with drop down sides for about $70 to wheel my 20kg bags of chicken feed around. It has made it so much easier lifting straight from the boot onto the card and has saved my shoulder and back. The cart is capable of 250kg so I even put a...

    Thanks Myhaven. She was ready to stretch her legs this morning and certainly let me know she wanted out of her isolation by screaming at me in a pitch I have not heard before. So I let her out for a bit then put her back before I left (she was definitely NOT HAPPY JAN!) and I will definitely...

    Thank you Fancy, Fizzybelle, satay, sjturner79 and Teila for your advice regarding my broody Grace. Fancy the feeders look great. Ashburnham love the scarecrow.

    Thanks Fancychooklady. I shall stress less, ensure she has seen the water, and I would like to try and create more airflow through her box. It's meant to get to 24degrees today so now I'm concerned she may overheat. I wonder if she's as nervous about her first clutch as I am?

    I'm getting a little worried about Grace the Buff Sussex who acquired herself that big pile of eggs. I have seperated her in her own little enclosure within the run, however I have not seen her get off the nest in the last two days since doing this and she just looks really angry. I have even...

    I sure have. The stolen eggs would also be fertile but I figure I might as well take advantage of her services instead of the incubator for the marans eggs I had. This is also the first time I have done eggs under a broody so I am very excited (just wasn't prepared or expecting it to be now)...
