I didn’t see your post before posting the same thing after! Sorry, didn’t mean to nab your idea, or repeat the same thing! Can’t recall how I stumbled on them, but maybe we’re both getting the same kinda marketing adsdue to the same kinda online activity 🙂
I’d LOVE a pair of these for my dedicated “chicken run only,” shoes! I’m currently using an old pair of sneakers, but would love something easy to hose off!
I had to google that 😬
Been in the area since 2008, mostly living in Ithaca, and STILL don’t know my local geography well!
You’re only 15min away! If you ever need a chicken sitter, please don’t hesitate to ask (as if any of us are actually traveling these days)!
Thank you; fortunately my chickens soothe my soul and bring me some peace.
It didn’t seem to make a difference for her legs, but it didn’t seem to bother her at all, either. It made me feel better and somewhat more empowered and competent to have learned about something else to try to do to...
Thank you -your reply is EXACTLY the thorough explanation for this that I was looking for! All of my online and book research was only turning up the same brief description over and over again.
I got overwhelmed with far too many 16hr overnight shifts at work due to a staffing emergency the day...
I’d appreciate any feedback regarding this chick’s prognosis for quality of life, or advice on how to treat her. Here’s the situation:
She hatched on the 28th, and I received her via USPS on the 29th. Her toes are curled, and I thought she had spraddle leg. Upon further research, I believe she...
D’Uccles are bantam and lay light cream eggs, and polish lay white (so I’ve read, but these are my first of either breed, so I’ve not seen them myself). Looking at images of polish eggs, they do seem to be more cream like this one. It does look larger in the picture than it really is, I think...
That thought occurred to me, too. Non of my bantams have laid yet, so I’ve no personal experience to go from, only online photos. Think I need to do another search for D’uccle or silkie eggs with an object included for scale!
When I put the egg between one from my Wyandotte and something white...
I have a Polish and a D’uccle that have been seeming as though they’re getting close to laying their first eggs for a few weeks now (also have a silkie pullet that is the same age as the D’uccle, but she’s not really indicating that she’s about to lay - heck, guess she might be a roo, but...
Thanks everyone! I’ve been getting overwhelmed by all the googling I’ve been doing for something more temporary (I am also building two new coops and a new, secure run and just began a new third shift job - so that added to my easily getting overwhelmed googling stuff like this), and this...
Thank you for the feedback, here’s a link to the product, and also a picture. It’s supposedly easy to install and move around one’s property, among other things which made it sound ideal.
Anyone have any experience with Omlet chicken fencing, and if so, what do you think of it? Also, any experience with alternative diy fencing (as Omlet is out of stock anyway)? I’ve been researching this so long that I am getting overwhelmed.
I will note, I am not looking for something predator...
I agree. I just found a couple articals about rooster behavior and managing it that provided something different and more promising than all the typical ones with the same old “hold them, don’t hold them, don’t do anything because nothing works, etc” advice and arguments, and now I’m feeling...
My neighbor is the grandson of the former owner of my home, and I just recently learned that the grandfather was a chicken fanatic with horrible chicken math. So my neighbor said my roosters don’t even register to him compared to his grandfather’s!
I’d like to be able to keep a bachelor flock...
