    Actually, Brownie was the few brown sexlink chick you made from Wheaten Ameraucana x Cal. grey. At that time, all your PA blacks were boys, so I got her. the I only have her photos in my old computer and need to dig them out. She grew up being mostly black with some brown feathers around her...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I start to root fig cuttings now. As a newbie, I made lots of mistakes and got some cuttings to grow leaves but not roots! After the leaves died off, I dug them out and was shocked to find there's no root at all! Anybody have experience about rooting figs? I heard they are really easy but not...

    What got me was Delta too! I get Covid regularly every half year after that, but never lost sense of smell again. I think I need to take more supplements. :hmm

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I'm not as bad: Completely lost my sense of smell for about 2 weeks, but until today, I cannot smell as good as before. Occasionally smell something wired that doesn't exist.

    Does she have wry neck? You can try vitamin E and B Complex for wry neck. Although, I remember one of my vaccinated pullet had the similar symptoms when she's sick from Marek's. She was getting better for a while and was still laying one week before she died. I have only successfully saved one...

    Let’s Talk About Bird Flu

    I believe my flock already had LPAI two years ago when there was an outbreak in our area. I found a dead sparrow in their run and then most of them got sick with runny nose and sharp decrease of egg production in late spring. Hopefully, the LPAI infection helped them develop antibodies to HPAI.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Never buy anything from Temu or Shein! Here's why: search the topic "Toxic chemicals in Shein and Temu clothes" You will see a huge number of reports about finding toxic chemicals in their products. They products don't need to pass any safety standard test, so they are so cheap. While you pay...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I lost my only Silkie pullet to a hawk a few month ago. She was so sweet and was my son's favorite. So I had to order 3 more Silkies for him next year. My coop is so full now! At least Silkies will not roost high with the other girls. Hopefully they will not be bullied too much, or I have to...

    Help with my hen's health

    Some people made sling chairs for chickens with difficulty to walk. Here's some ideas: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/versions-of-chick-chairs-please.1166308/ You may want to give her some vitamin B in case she has some nerve damage. It's always a good idea to give her some probiotics...

    Help with my hen's health

    How old and where did you get her? Did you recently get chickens from somebody else? Your hen looks like fully paralyzed and remind me about Marek's.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I cannot do much in this cold weather, but I pruned my fruit trees and made some tomato cages from cattle panels yesterday. After years of trying to support my store bought tomato cages (wire types and stake types) without success, I finally managed to get cattle panels and made myself 12 cages...

    I have two 7 month pullets started to lay at the end of December. It's very strange since it's the shortest day light of the year. I really like to get more Welbars and rose comb Legbars, but my coop is very full and I ordered 3 silkies to replace the two died last year. I guess that I have to...

    Mareks, recovery and rehabilitation

    I have one vaccinated chicken survived Marek's, and all unvaccinated hens died. She got sick at 1.5 year old, and I suspect it was triggered by LPAI since most my chickens were sick at the same time. I tube fed her for a half year, and she started to eat herself and even started to lay eggs...
