    Question for you all. I have three chickens a few years old, maybe 3/4 and only one is coming down from their roost in the morning. I just went to check on them at 2pm and the two were till there. I carried them down. This has happened the last few days. What is going on? They sleep on a pole...

    Wow! No thank heavens! I had to look close to see the patches of bare skin under her feathers that was left. From a distance she looks normal. As you look close, you see patches of bare skin.

    Thanks, that makes me feel better. It is my first time with molting chickens. My other 4 are not doing it yet. I purchased them all the same time. I thought it was odd since it is winter. I thought the molting would be when it is warmer.I will search for a sweater or something. Maybe add a heat...

    Question, do chickens molt this time of year? I have one that is loosing Lots of feathers. I see new pin feathers coming in but I worry about her getting cold without her undercoat this time of year. I see no lice or anything. She is eating normally. There is no broken skin or blood. You have to...

    I have been lucky. My shade, misters and fans blowing through the mist are working great for this high heat. I have yet to see them pant even. They look comfortable. The floor of their pen is a muddy mess under the misters but they do not seem to mind. Kris

    This is what I do to keep my gals cool. I have misters set up with fans blowing through the mist. That works amazingly well! One set of 4 overhead misters is tied to my irrigation system and goes off on a schedule daily. The other is a portable one with 4 misters on it hooked to a hose. I hook...

    It is going to be 117 on Friday. I am really afraid for my chickens! I am going to put an extra mister on a hose in the cage for them just to help out. I have fans blowing through the mist also. Anyone have other good ideas? I may put an ice block out there. I have not done that as of yet. Kris

    I don't remember actually. I think it is a Bartlett Pear. It was near death on clearance when I picked it up. The tree is doing well now since it is a few years old but not a lot of fruit yet, just a few pears. I am adding more water to see if that helps. I also added an Asian Pear next to it...

    Yes, I live in Gilbert. I bought my Jujube at Lowes on Gilbert and Warner. My apple trees have blooms on them already. They are the only ones. I hope they are fine after this cold spell! We do not have irrigation. I have my trees on timers and on a drip.

    I am a little late to respond on an earlier post but thought I would add my 2 cents anyway.....I bought my Jujube tree Lowe's. They get them in certain times of the year. It produces loads of fruit that taste similar to apples. I have a Plumelo tree. It is a great producer. It is like a sweet...

    I had to share. I went out to check on my chickens and quail who were sitting on their roost in the run for the night. When I first looked my quail was sitting beside my golden chicken but slowly she maneuvered herself completely under my chickens wing. She likes to hide under them. That is my...

    I have apple trees and they produce like gang busters, lost of apples. They need the heat to produce. Just make sure you get some with low chill hours. I bought a bare root from Lowes that was a 5 apples in one tree. Each branch was a different type. It did so well I put more in. My leaves are...

    OH!!!!! I would love a pet squirrel. That sound so cool! The trick is to get the wild animals young enough to imprint on them from my experience. I have rescued other birds but none have been as tame as my first guy. I think he was a gift from up above meant just for me.

    I have to say...LOL With all this talk of sparrows, I love sparrows. They actually make the best pets if you get them when they are young, imprint on them and hand tame them. I know, unbelievable but true. I had one I rescued and syringed fed that would sleep in my silk tree at night, full set...

    I have had the same problem. I am going over my 4 x 2 wire and chicken wire with smaller stuff to keep them out.

    Chickens love mice, if they can catch them. Cool, I just noticed the problem so hopefully they will take care of it. I am seeing them mostly at night when they sleep though. Between the mice and the sparrows, I go through a lot of food!
