    Insomniacs unite!

    I’m so glad (well not glad we can’t sleep) that this thread is still going! I’ve had minimal sleep all week. My mom had unexpected open heart surgery on Sunday so it’s been an exhausting week

    Chronic poopy butt

    Is this the correct stuff? I got some at the local farm store but it’s powder and I’m not sure how to give it. I could order this today if it’s the right thing.

    Thank you for answering! I will treat for worms and also give them a good clean and trim when I clean the coop out on Monday! I appreciate you 😊

    Chronic poopy butt

    I have two hens that constantly have a poopy butt. I’m trying to figure out why. The other two hens that live in the same environment, eat the same food, ect never have this problem. With summer coming I worry about fly strike. I do clean their butts from time to time but I’m hoping to find a...

    Coops Coop

    When the window sill gets full I wash them to put them in the fridge. They sit out for a quite a while before I wash them. I also sell them and some of the buyers want them to be washed so that’s another reason. I didn’t realize that they could be out for 4 months though! I thought it was only...

    Coops Coop

    Hi guys! I’ve been absent lately. Working full time, deciding to go back to school, and two kids keep me busy to say the least 😅 I’m still here though! My hens will be a year old in a couple weeks, so crazy! Here’s Rose taking a dust bath yesterday 🥰

    I use a pet nail grinder actually! But a metal file should work as well! It’s much easier if you have someone to help. My husband holds Dorothy while I file. I have to hold her head (which she hates) but it doesn’t hurt her. As far as treats, we hand feed them to her! We have a cherry tree and...

    Generally if it hurts them they will let you know. As far as getting enough of the overgrowth off, I just file down whatever is curved over (if that makes sense). You can file a little bit at a time until you get it to the right length. Do you have a picture? Good luck with your crossbeak...
