    Peacocks in my backyard?!?

    Is that like seeing the white buffalo? I have one female peahen who thinks she's a chicken. She's loud when she honks-foghornish.

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    I am down to about 50 hens/roosters still to get rid of. I placed an ad on Craigslist and everyone came for hens. One lady did take a rooster. This whole thing is breaking my heart. I have so much time into these birds and about $15,000. I don't want to take any to freezer camp next week. Is...

    The Svart Hona (Swedish Black Hen) Thread!

    The Honas are such a cool breed. I let my sweet Hona girl from Ewe Crazy sit on her eggs. Snow started flying and all six of her babies hatched out. She looks like she's going to be a great Mom. She's the first Hona I have allowed to go broody. So far- she's doing as well as a silkie!

    Oh~that's not good. I am sorry. I would make her comfortable but not stressed. I blue coat all the wounds to make them invisible to the others and themselves. I would be tempted to try and liquid stitch it or superglue the wound. I wish you well. Make sure you document everything in case you...
