    Wild Bird Thread!

    Quote: Just one for seed and one for suet. There's quite a bit of natural forage around here for birds and critters - crabapple trees, conifers, beech, oak, blueberry, etc.

    Extension Cord Accessory?

    That Harbor Freight one is certainly priced attractively, but I don't see where it says it keeps out water?

    Jennifer Aniston built my chicken coop!!

    Here I was picturing her with a nail gun. That's awesome! I can't believe they would just throw everything out like that.

    signs that laying time is near ?

    Your girls should start squatting low when you go to pet them on the back, this is a sign of being receptive to mating. Also look for bright red combs and wattles on the girls.

    What on EARTH are they doing?

    Sounds like your Orp fancies herself a Lamaze coach!

    Ladies & Gentlemen?

    Look like all girls to me, too. As for the red comb and wattles, that is an indication of a pullet that's getting close to providing you with eggs. Pullets come to maturity at different rates, even if they're from the same hatch - you should see Dorothy's sisters coming along soon.

    Chickens living alone or with other chickens

    Chickens are social and prefer to have company. If you have the space, I would recommend getting 3 or 4. Two might work out okay depending on the chickens, but they'd probably like to have 1 or 2 more for their little flock.

    Color of eggs

    What color are her legs? Rocks have yellow legs.

    Sand Bath?

    They might enjoy having a sand bath, but to be on the safe side I would stay away from any sand with calcium in it. If they end up ingesting some, they could get too much calcium and that can cause kidney damage.

    23 weeks old and still no eggs

    They will start right after you go out and buy a couple of dozen eggs. LOL.

    When/where do I start checking for eggs?

    When they are getting ready to start laying, their combs and wattles will get redder. You may also notice they squat when you go to pet their backs. They look for a comfy, secluded space to lay so I would look under and behind things for nests. At 3 months they are young yet, you should have...

    Worms (or caterpillars) and webs in the trees are terrible this year!

    Last year was terrible for fall webworms around here. I used to cut and burn, but last year sprayed Sevin heavily on each nest instead. This year the infested branches from last year leafed out fine and now we have less than 1/2 the nests as last year.

    Yogurt Question

    Yogurt is okay to give as a treat, most of them love it! You want to get the plain, unsweetened. Stay away from the kinds with added sugar, corn syrup, or artificial sweetener.

    Help!!! with new chick.

    If it's just exhausted from a difficult hatch, it might benefit from a little nutritional boost. You can try sugar water instead of plain, and two drops of infant vitamins WITHOUT iron onto the beak, avoiding the nostrils. See if it will eat it you dip it's beak into the food. If not, you can...

    What % do you tip when you eat out??

    DH and I start at 20% on the pre-tax amount and adjust up or down for quality of service. If our server is truly horrible (not just inexperienced, but bad or nasty) they will get pocket change, but we regularly end up giving 25% or more for excellent service. We try to be careful not to penalize...

    What breed is this? Need answers quick...

    Since you don't have any pics, your best bet is to hit the "Breeds" link at the top of the page and browse through to see if you can find any pics that look like your roo.

    4 Chickens only one laying

    In general, roos will have thicker legs and bigger combs than hens the same age and breed. There are differences in feathering as well. You might want to post some pics over in the "What Breed or Gender" section so people can help you out with that.
