    New Idea (for me) for saving and feeding scraps

    about the blender, maybe it is just me but the egg shells and egg shell lining my girls are producing are very thick and hard to crush up easily. The blender helps me get the shells crushed and mixed with the other stuff on a low/slow pulse speed. That is all, I'm just looking for easy ! PS...

    Kauai Moa Discussion, E Komo Mai!

    So my girls decided to venture out of the yard and head back to the hills to meet the boys, so now I have even more of a problem. Good news, they came running when I called them, the bad news is that as soon as I noted they were back and gave them treats for good coming home behavior, they went...

    New Idea (for me) for saving and feeding scraps

    I have been trying to think of a convenient way to save up and handle the "chicken suitable" scraps from my kitchen i.e. egg shells, veggie/fruit pieces etc that I want to give the birds. I think I've got it! I bought a decent used blender at a garage sale and put the base on the counter in...

    Thanks, I agree as the wild bird illness scare me. I don't really want a rooster, noisy when they are right under your window in the morning. I am not sure what I am going to do, but will keep you in the loop.

    Dark Spot on Crown (pics included)

    Oh, thank you for the post! We have tons of mosquitos here, so I am thinking you are correct. The two hens don't pick at each other much at all, they get along well. Does anyone know if I can use Neosporin or other generic antibiotic ointment on her spot?

    Dark Spot on Crown (pics included)

    Aloha! I have a 6 1/2 month old hen. She overall she has appeared healthy and just started laying about 3 weeks ago. Just 4 days ago I noted a dark raised spot on her crown. Looks like a dark wart if I am trying to describe it. We are in warm weather and there is only one other hen that is...
