    Chicken feed in SF Bay Area?

    That's totally rad. I drive an '82 Mercedes 240D and just got 10 chickens. I guess I'm your target market, eh? Hahah. I'll be down for feed when I run out! How much is it?

    Can I get a reality check? (to cull, or not to cull)

    I treated her again tonight.. it's obviously pretty uncomfortable when I palpate around her eye, rubbing the ointment in, especially. Also, there's not much actual exudate, which I suspect is a good thing... Anyway, I'll see how she is over the next couple of days and play it by ear. Thanks...

    Hawk Checking Out My City Chickens

    Hmm, you could screw a furring strip to the house in just a couple of places, then staple the net to that. I can relate, I looked out the window this morning and, down below (I live about 20' above) was a huge redtail, sitting ON the chickendome. Man... They wouldn't come out of hiding till I...

    Can I get a reality check? (to cull, or not to cull)

    Ok, I've been reading the 'swollen eye' threads day and night, in between changing the abx-water and flushing/medicating this chook's eye with terramycin. History... I got this barred 'Rock pullet from a lady in Cotati... as soon as I got her home, with her two friends, I noticed that her eye...

    Bantam roo with swollen eye - UPDATE

    Well, some time has gotten by... I've read this whole tale, and I'm dying to know how your birds eye is today? What's the scoop? I'm hoping you have good news!

    Nighttime behavior.

    (By the way, tonight, with no prodding, they were all up in the coop by dusk. )

    Nighttime behavior.

    The light I have in there is red... It's only getting into the low-40s, very high 30's here... they're pretty well fully fledged. Do they even need the light?

    Nighttime behavior.

    Hm, nice. Thanks for the replies. I hadn't thought to lock them in for days at a time... I think I'll try putting them all to bed for a few nights, see how that goes. I don't actually have a provision to lock them into the coop... the ramp up into the coop doesn't have a door. I could just...
