    Newbie chick shed and WIR build

    I used to raise parrots and had lots of large macaw size cages out in storage. My girls stopped liking their huge coop. So I lined all the cages in a cool/warm weather protected corner. I weather wrapped each for a wet and/or cold southern California winter (Y’all know how rough our winters...

    Frizzle breed

    I have a frizzle chick. Someone told me yesterday a frizzle Is not a breed and can be any breed. Does that just mean these chickens have a defective Feather gene and Now people are selling then as rare exotic birds?

    Disposing of rat caught in live trap!!

    What's the point of catching the rat in a live trap. IMAGINE BEING TRAPPED IN A CAR SINKING IN WATER VS A QUICK INSTANT SNAP DEATH OF A GIGANTIC TRAP. I'D RATHER DIE INSTANTLY. I do that almost everyday until I take a rat catch/release vacation for a while then it's back to catch/release...

    Snake in my pond

    I think the person suggesting styrofoam balls is an idiot. And I don't care who screams at me. Personally I have a phobia about snakes, but to cause them a painful death, is worse than cruel. A true animal loving human should not cause un-necessary suffering. I'm not for shooting them either...

    Skinny chickens

    When my girls were too thin for my concerns, I stopped giving them treats throughout the day. Only laying crumble as they would not eat the pellets. I decided to only give them treats at MY dinner time before sunset and roosting time. I throw out human oatmeal and a melody of dried...
