    An awesome testimonial! This is great to hear, as many have issues with rodents, and these feeders are one great way to combat them!

    White Spots on Rooster's Comb

    Hi! He's so pretty! I was reading some threads here that sounded similar. Here's a reply on one such one by @Wyorp Rock that I would try. Yours looks very similar, but not as bad as this one. Take a look and see what you think. There are some other helpful replies below that too.

    Cured Dog of Stealing Eggs!

    So, a month later, is she still leaving the eggs alone, or did you have to revisit the training?

    Recessive and dominant white in silkies

    Oh boy. We were just talking about partridge silkies in my silkies thread, but never heard of nor had an issue with partridge getting into my paints. What two birds were you breeding before you added the showgirl? If it was two paints, then yes, you should have been getting blacks and whites...

    Heated base for waterer: your thoughts on this product?

    I was a little concerned at first, seeing no reviews on it and a lot of pop-ups on their site, but found the same one on Amazon with a lot of great reviews. It's got a thermostat and never gets hot enough to burn anything.

    Rain

    Our silkies are out in the rain right now. They'll all go back to their coops though, fuzzy and wet, then come out tomorrow and do it all again. We have trouble with a pen of 9 around 4-month-olds that used to sleep in a huddle in their grow-out pen instead of going into their hutch at night...

    Hiya, Wren, and welcome to BYC! :frow Ah, yes. It's always the sweetest rooster though it seems. Merle was ours. He was a red partridge silkie rooster. I too would love to see pictures if you don't mind sharing! We're glad you're here!

    QUIZ: What’s Wrong With This Chicken?

    Well, even if I hadn't known, you made it easy with your funny options. I especially liked I guess we can get a little pale if we don't get our coffee so that works for me! ☺️ In all seriousness, this is a great idea! :highfive:

    Incubating …. Again! Whoops.

    I had to laugh as I was supposed to be done in July. I oopsed in September and have 17 silkies running around in a pen in the 20s and 30sF, barely two months old, acting like it's summer. I've heard of some who have them, various sizes, and have liked them. You can type Janoel in the search...

    Grazing Frame - Fodder Table Box - Continuously Grow Fodder & Seedlings & Sprouts For Chickens

    We don't use the frames either, but in the winter, I grow hard red winter wheat in the house in trays. We get it from the Amish for around $8 for 50#. If you could find a feed mill, that would be way cheaper than Amazon. Plus, they'd give you other great ideas, I'm sure! People in feed...

    Mice eating feed and getting into coops

    I actually saw this work once though. The farmer across the road from us have rats, we don't. They had taken over her barn where she doesn't keep anything but alfalfa and straw. She said she did the box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix and baking soda and left a big pile in the barn. We wound up...

    My hens stopped laying

    The next time you need feed, look for an all-flock. That will have 18-20% protein, vs. around 16% for layer feed. The only other difference is that it has less calcium, so you need to supply a separate dish of oyster shell. Scrambled eggs is high in protein and a healthy treat.

    Are there any Filipinos here? If so I DESPERATELY need your help

    Hi, and welcome to BYC! I would check the poultry groups near you on Facebook. You'd probably find someone selling chicks. Good luck!

    Homemade electrolyte?

    Most of us say and give just a couple of hours' worth of our homemade or store-bought electrolytes. It's just to give them a little boost if they just got off a 12-hour shipping truck, are suffering from shock from being attacked, under heat stress, etc. It's not meant in any form to be given...
