    Ingrown Leg Band on Pullet

    I never followed up, we did "surgery" in our garage with a scalpel and wire cutters, and were very successful! She has made a full recovery. Thanks for the help, Betadine was a very good idea.

    Connecticut!

    They might have just seen a hawk, and mine do the same sort of sound for anything that seems off. I have one that gets ****** off over everything and does the egg sound until she's hoarse, and sometimes I have to give her a tight hug to calm her down. It could be a sign, but I would say it's...

    Keeping Chickens Free Range

    Had our first ever fox attack a few weeks ago, after free ranging for years without any issues. Everyone was free ranging and all the sudden we spotted a fox running in the back carrying a blue silkie hen. We ran like hell after it making noise and as we approached the woods where it had gone...

    Peacock and 3 mallard/swede mixes looking for a new home

    Interested in the peacock if you would be able to get him to Connecticut somehow, unless we are able to find out how to make the 2 hour trip. Please PM me if you would be willing to figure something out! Also, how is his disposition? Friendly?

    Ingrown Leg Band on Pullet

    I have been faced with the unfortunate issue that involves a leg band becoming embedded in my hen's leg. After having this issue once before, I removed the leg bands from all my birds except for two (who I couldn't catch) and sure enough, one of those two is now limping around the coop, with a...

    Potbelly Pig

    Hello There. Somewhat recently we added a potbelly pig to our farm and I was wondering if anyone else here keeps theirs with chickens and ducks, because I am hoping to get some information on co-housing them. Thanks!

    How to stop Broody Plague?

    Ok folks, I am coming to you guys because I am at my last limb with my broodyness in my flock. In my flock of about 35 or 40 birds, 27 have gone broody in the last couple months!!! I am tired of explaining to egg customers that I don't have any eggs to give them, and I am tired of dumping dozens...

    Keeping Chickens Free Range

    Haven't been active on this thread in a while, so I am going to share my free ranging situation. This is our barn, where our Chickens, Ducks, Sheep, and in a couple weeks a pig live in their own stalls. The chickens and ducks' run has a small door (pictured near the mass of chickens in the...

    Protective Geese?

    Hi Folks. I free range my ~40 chickens and 2 ducks pretty often and recently a fox has been pretty bold and so have a few large red shouldered hawks and I was wondering if (in addition to being great pets) geese would protect my flock and/or alert them (and us) to predators when they are free...
