    At home euthanasia help

    I am SO sorry for you and your sweet girl having to go through this painful ordeal. I can’t give you any concrete advice other than to say you will have support from this community, from folks far more experienced than I am. Hang on and offer her comfort.

    I found this curled up in an off-color (orangish) poo, outside on the ground. Flock is on mash in the morning and pasture range all day with donkeys and a goat. Everyone seems to be eating and acting normally. Many thanks for your opinions and suggestions.

    No doubt. Just the same as homecomings, weddings and births.

    This photograph is simply lovely. It’s calendar material!

    Tax Time Here, Mr. Aegis is giving Bertie a tour of the nest boxes. She and flockmate Maizie had just moved in with us after a harrowing night of carnage in their former home. Aegis did his best to make them comfortable; I swear his tenderness was palpable. This was the first time we’d...

    I misunderstood at some point that the property was in your partner’s family. Sorry. You are certainly a thoughtful steward for the place which looks to be a couple of centuries old. I expect the house is happy you all are there.

    This is true. Well said. @ManueB authors the most lyrical posts. She takes us on holiday every time. I’m chagrined to say I have relatives like the wicked stepfather too. It’s an embarrassment, but more, it’s frightening to know there are many people like him. I have to ask, if the...

    Anybody have any howling dogs?

    Maggie and Rosie, our two donkeys, bray if they think I’ve forgotten their dinner time. When they start up, Dusty, a geriatric lab/shepherd and Sissy, our little pit rescue, join in enthusiastically. It sounds like Bremen Town Musicians How it all started is hilarious. These two dogs...

    Congratulations. :yesss: Please do invite us all to the ribbon cutting. We’ll bring tasty refreshments and lovely housewarming gifts. And that massage therapist. Seriously, I think we all grasp the significance of the event and we are deeply happy for you and the flock.

    I conclude this gentleman loved his birds and invested tremendous time and effort in their wellbeing.

    As I got older, and a little smarter about some things, I realized we woefully underestimate the intelligence of other species.

    Deep litter question!

    Our 6x8 ft coop houses 10 birds. We use pine shavings - two compressed bales will fill the floor to a depth of about 6-8 inches when new and fresh. Ix6” boards at the people door and pop door keep the shavings contained. I don’t believe is adds to summer heat, and it does seem to contribute...

    @Ribh - do you have any idea what you’re dealing with? Something on the ground or in the air?
