    Smoke from forest fire is BAD. When should I worry?

    I am in Central Point. Our air quality is currently "Hazardous" according to the DEQ and is likely to remain this way for 4-10 days. A friend in Medford said all his friend's chickens died... I would be devastated if I lost my whole flock!

    Smoke from forest fire is BAD. When should I worry?

    I live in Southern Oregon and that huge fire in the middle of the state is wreaking havoc on my region. The smoke is all blowing down here. It has been 3 days that the air has been full of smoke here. Right now there are warnings saying to keep the elderly and kids indoors do to the...

    Must capture and relocate peas- advice needed!

    I will have at least one person helping me, which sounds like it will help out if everyone thinks catching them in the roost won't work. I was planning to bring a ladder, but if they will be at the top, I guess that won't work. I think we can set up a dog kennel trap and I was planning on...

    Must capture and relocate peas- advice needed!

    A development company that purchased land has offered me the peafowl that came with the property (free if I can catch them!) because they want them gone. I have a relatively small window in which to catch them as it is a 5 hour drive from my home and I can't afford to do that a lot. I will be in...

    Peacocks wanted in Oregon

    I didn't realize they were so close to us! I scanned their website, but they only offered packaged meats, so I didn't think it would work. Now that i know it's only a 3 hour drive, I may have to contact them. Thanks for the link!

    Peacocks wanted in Oregon

    The skin of the bird is used as part of the presentation, so I can't just pass it off as peacock. I do understand about loving your peafowl and not wanting them eaten. That is why I am totally upfront about my intentions. I don't want to eat someone's beloved pet. I am just hoping someone has a...

    Pheasants wanted in Oregon

    I belong to a historical re-enactment society that puts on regular medieval themed events. My household is putting together a feast this coming October and we are hoping to offer something really spectacular. We are looking for some pheasants that we can offer as the main dish for our feast...

    Prolapsed vent: What would you do?

    Good news! It as been almost 24 hours since I last had to tuck everything back in and it is all staying put :) Scarlett is eating and drinking enthusiastically every time I let her out and has even begun to explore the bathroom a bit. Soon she will be able to rejoin the other chickens. Now I...

    Prolapsed vent: What would you do?

    I am having a hard time deciding what to do about my hen, Scarlet. She is a 3 year old blue laced red wyandotte and has been struggling for almost a week with a prolapsed vent. I removed her from the flock as soon as I noticed and have been, to the best of my ability, following advice on how...

    rooster attacked by dog...need help

    I had a rooster with a dog wound much larger (almost 1/4 of his skin gone or torn) and he healed perfectly- not a scar to be seen, fully feathered back in at the next moult. But I had a hen with a gash in her neck who still has a jagged naked line on her neck almost 3 years later. Depends on the...

    Prolapsed vent... how often to I try to fix it?

    I was able to successfully diagnose my hen with a prolapsed vent, thanks to BYC! The inside out bit is about the size of a small mandarin orange.I followed all the steps suggested, but she pushed everything back out again. I read that they will do that, and I should just keep pushing it all back...

    The Aloha Chicken Project

    Yeah, he has barring and his legs are not yellow. But he's such a good boy that even if his little brothers outshine him, he will not be stewed. I will re-home him If I can't keep him. He deserves a good, long life. Interestingly, he also has a 'laughing crow' like those roosters from the video...

    The Aloha Chicken Project

    Thought I should post an update since I have some nice new pictures. I have been watching "The Nine" grow up since the day digit appeared with the little surprises in tow. Even my roomies (who shake their heads and roll their eyes at my strange project) have independently remarked how...
