    My Random Rambling got quashed

    Year old hen found dead

    I had a hen die suddenly like that. SHe was fine when she went to bed, and the next morning, I went out to let them out, and she was stiff as a board. The only thing I can think of is that previously, like about four months prior, she had worms and I neglected to do anything about it because...

    Remembering Pip-Squeak

    I am so sorry for your loss...no one can say that you didn't do EVERYTHING for this little chick. She was fortunate that she belonged to you, because there are many who wouldn't have cared so much. She looks just like my "Cheezy" who I have raised from a baby. I hope that someone can figure...

    Snakes

    I always close the coop up until they are just ready to go in...snakes go in there and wait for them. I lost a girl to a black snake that tried to eat her but of course she was too big. He suffocated her and left her there. Her head was all slimy and wet. Then another black snake coiled...

    Dogs attacking? this is GENIUS!

    Quote: See? Now this is really being GREEN. We are using the wasting body of a dead animal for ANOTHER PURPOSE. REPURPOSING!!! Even the hippies will love this idea!

    Dogs attacking? this is GENIUS!

    This post was under the "I hate dogs" post below. It was posted by Rufus and is the best idea I've heard of in a long time.... "I don't know if this is possible in your situation, but if you leave a very dead animal out for your neighbors' dogs to roll in, they will be more careful about...

    I hate dogs....

    The dead skunk thing is the smartest idea I have heard of in a LONG time. It's pure genius. Doesn't harm the dog (physically), gets the point across to the idiot neighbor, and gives you a chuckle all at the same time. Brilliant.

    55 degrees too cold for chicks?

    Well....they survived just fine. It actually was 45 degrees when I got up this morning. They seemed to be fine. So...I guess they are out for good! Thank the Lord!!!! I still haven't completely mixed them in with the big girls...they are still separated. But at least they are OUT OF MY...

    55 degrees too cold for chicks?

    I have been putting them out with the big girls for several days now, but separated in a smaller pen within the big pen. My husband let them walk around with the girls today and there was a little pecking, but nothing serious. They are in a very tight, but ventilated rubbermaid storage shed...

    cricket games...ok?

    They love this!!! No, it won't encourage aggression. It trains them to chase and catch a little protein. It's fun to watch too.

    55 degrees too cold for chicks?

    My babies are six weeks old and I really want them out with the big girls. It will be 55 tonight and they have all their feathers (except a few stragglers of down around their necks). Will they be alright with no heat lamp?
