It's been really stable...maybe better but definitely not worse. We weren't even worried about her since she gets along so well, but then I was reading some other threads and I started to panic.
I emailed to inquire about the flock they came from.
We can check again for injury tonight or tomorrow, but we haven't felt anything weird in the past. This hen was not vaccinated, that I know of. She is one of the first 8 chicks we received from a local woman who hatched them. 2-3 weeks later we received 22 more from her, that were hatchery...
Anyone want to take a look at my 11-12wk old hen and tell me what you think? She started showing signs of this at 4-5wks. She eats, drinks, plays well with others. She just doesn't use her one leg. At first we thought maybe she dislocated her leg, but we are new to this and pretty naive. I'm...
Can you please check out this video of my hen?
She's 11-12 wks old and started showing signs of this at maybe 4-5 weeks. She eats, drinks and gets along well. She is only slightly smaller than the others her age. At first we thought she dislocated her leg hopping up/down to the roost in the...
Mine are 3 and 5 and have karate 4 times a week! At least it tires them out. And we don't really have to go all 4 days, but we need to go at least 2 to be worth the money we spend on it. :)
Forget chicken. What about HAM pot pie? So weird. And Ham BBQ? And chicken and WAFFLES?
Bear update: Apparently our friendly neighborhood bear has been causing trouble all over the mountain and was caught and relocated at some point this week.
Good news for me and my chickens. Hopefully he didn't leave any friends behind.
I didn't even think about insurance. I'll look into it, at least for the future. No blood, that we could see. S/he was HUGE. We did see him. I would guess he was close to 500lbs.
We would only shoot to scare, not to hurt the bear. Luckily (maybe?), the head guy in charge of bears in PA is our...
We were visited by the biggest bear we have ever seen back here in the hollow last night. The dogs alerted us at first. DH was scaring him off with a flood light and he kept coming back. He busted a window out of my coop, so for now everything is boarded up. DH has to go out of town today and...
Things are much happier in my coop since Chicken Noodle Soup has been caged alone. The others are so much more comfortable without him terrorizing them.
Today is take 2 on the watering system. The first one was leaky and didn't give us the final product we were looking for. DH is outside...
Annie, my 4 and 7 week olds have been out for over a week now. I'm in Howard, just down the mountain from you. I had a heat lamp in there the first week (it was COLD), but it has been off the last few nights. They did fine last night and it's not supposed to go below 50 tonight.
