    I think I just saw a chicken cry

    Thank you so much for the kind words. I just hate that my poor baby had to go like that. I couldn't bring myself to put her down in her state like that. She was so sweet. I'm going to miss that baby. Lord knows I will. I have 4 left. 3 hens and my rooster. All the same age. I told DH I don't...

    I think I just saw a chicken cry

    I know this is an old post. But my girl just passed away tonight. I held her for about 3 hours just petting and talking to her and she looked at me and actually had TEARS rolling down her face. She did this for a few minutes before putting her neck around my shoulder and her wing around my arm...

    The cold has taken its first victim from me. My poor penny. God rest her sweet soul. I don't know how we all deal with losing our feather babies. It doesn't get any easier. :(

    What about fruit that smells a little fermented? Also, is it common for a fox to attack or try to prey on possums? I found one under my porch. Well 2 actually. One ran off and it seemed fine and the other has a big sore on it's back and it looked a little "runny" It was dark and all I had was a...

    I didn't think they could have mold. I did a lot of research on it too when I first started raising them. I didn't know if it can be washed off or whatever. Some of the berries and things have mold on a lot of them what if I cut the moldy spots out?

    Hi happy fellow chicken lovers! Got a quick question! I have a box of "outdated" produce from our local grocery store they agreed to give to me. I'm extremely careful what I give my chickens in the first place and I wash all produce in an organic apple cider vingegar soak before they ingest any...

    I'm sorry for sounding so juvenile about it. I tend to really over think things. I do not intentionally overthink them it's just part of my OCD. Hopefully I will see a doctor soon to get put back on some medication for it. He didn't give any warning sign that he was going to scratch or bite. He...

    Haha. Just had one of those too! Pregnancy scare! Whew. It was close. Maybe I should heed more precautions in my life in general. Haha. 2 months straight of pregnancy scares and a newfound phobia of rabies. I need to get a life. I wish the rain would end. At least long enough for me to clean my...

    I was petting him and he just "grabbed" my hand hand with his mouth. Naturally I yanked my arm away and his tooth cut into my skin. Other than that he seems perfectly normal. Although his meow sounds a little hoarse now for some reason. I can only assume because he has been out in the rain for days.

    I guess I am just worrying myself sick over this. Everyone thinks I am nuts. And I know it sounds nuts. As I have obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety disorder with panic attacks and I have not been on medicine in about 2 years and I haven't really had any bad "episodes" until now. I am...

    I didn't go get one. I do think I will go to the health department tomorrow. It's completely healed up and I'm afraid they will either A think I'm crazy or B report it and have animal control trap and kill the cat. :( I just don't want to die. Incubation period is 3 weeks for rabies in humans...

    So I think I'm going to go get a rabies shot anyway tomorrow. It's been 2 weeks but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

    What can I give him in the meantime for that? I am still a little frightened to handle him much since the bite. I know tractor supply has a lot of antibiotics for animals so what exactly would I use? I just been dosing him with tetra like I would the chickens. Haha. Obviously he isn't a chicken...

    I am hoping he will stick around long enough for me to catch him. I'm sure he will never trust me again after but at least he won't die from rabies if I get him a shot. Came home from work and he's not here but he will be. Lol. He knows I put out extra treats for him late at night after dinner...

    I have been giving him (the cat) tetracycline every few days in a little milk and water. I have looked everywhere online and it doesn't say anything about his eyes being any sign of rabies or anything like that. But I still worry about when he bit me 2 weeks ago. He still seems to be well...
