    I was thinking maybe TWO coop doors & ladders, one at each end? Jamie can't block TWO doorways at the same time 😁 In the meantime do whatever necessary to keep them in the coop at night. Drafty night breezes for a bird roosting alone doesn't sound healthy?

    You nailed it on the head! I always ask why genetic abnormalities are perpetuated in breeding too. I bred Persian cats in the 1970's w/ not-so-flat faces but the Persian fanciers began breeding for flatter & flatter jaws/faces which sometimes caused Bulldog teeth so I no longer wanted to compete...

    Yes, for 14+ yrs we have a porch light on that gives light near the outside of the coop & run. The coop has windows that let light in also. We leave the low energy light on 24/7 so we dont forget to flip the light switch on/off everyday. The light is far enough away from the coop windows that it...

    There are BYC articles & threads on roo behavior & training that I hear are very informative. We can't have roo's so I never perused them myself. There are things to do & not do in raising a roo.

    IMO Silkies ARE Sweetie Pies 🩷 & amazingly smart little "zoomies" as you labeled them. We've been so amazed at their smarts, quickness, awareness, hardiness, human friendly temperaments, & busy-ness in the yard as well as providing the largest of bantam eggs thru all 4 seasons of the yr. They've...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I think not cleaning my phone in 3 yrs is why my immunity got built up :lau ! Really, if we think about it... just stepping into an elevator, sitting in a waiting room, grocery shopping, or turning a door knob handle, we've already exposed or handled a myriad of germs/viruses/bacteria we haven't...

    Oh, I wasn't advising YOU should get more birds. I only meant I liked your statement not to get just ONE bird. Your post reminded me of my & DH's past experiences & I was just reminiscing. No bird can replace special losses. I still mourn being torn away from my farm life at 13-yrs-old & never...

    Likely to keep the poultry/food industry from over-abusing its use in the egg/meat businesses. One thing for sure... my vet saved our Mini many times w/Baytril injections ~ w/all her health issues she still lived almost to 7 yrs... otherwise we would've lost her the 1st yr of her life.

    It never occurred to us that veterinarians were mostly cat/dog only Dr's! Unless one lives in a rural area, barnyard animals are not seen by vets here in the suburbs. There are avian specialists here but their prices are way higher than cat/dog vets. We lucked out that our vet grew up w/...

    My vet no longer uses Baytril. Someone told me it's a Calif stopped thing?

    Chickens aren't dumb... they know overgrown cukes are not tasty, even bitter! Our chickens won't eat gooey slugs either!!!
