    EE mix, hard to tell if boy or girl?

    These are about 10 or 11 weeks old, and they love to photobomb the camera! If you need better pictures let me know and I’ll try to grab that one. He/she is a little camera shy. The one in question, back, center, has a white chest with lots of black coming in on the head and wings. It also...

    How to remove leg bands from chicks?

    I purchased some new babies, but two of them came with plastic leg bands on them. Chicks grow rapidly, so these are going to need to come off. They appear to be solid bands, not the spiral kind. Please help advise :) I was thinking of nail clippers because I didn't want to hurt the chicks legs...

    What would come out of a hole like this?

    Tonight while putting my birds away I saw a hole. About four feet away from a corner of my chicken run, I found a strange hole in the ground, near a slight grassy hill. It is about the width of a telephone pole, and appears very deep. I did not put my hand inside to see how deep it goes. I was...

    Neighbors, what to do?

    So a few houses from me down, a woman lives with her nearly teenage son with special needs. I know how hard it must be for her to raise a child alone who has severe needs and she tries to find things for him to do. She came over once while my son and I were playing in his sand box outside...

    Winter is Coming! Checklists, tips, advice for a newbie

    Greetings fellow bird lovers! I live in inland Maine and woke up to a slight frost this morning. (It was a very light one, but a good reminder of what is to come). My birds seemed fine, marched down the ramp as normal, and began scratching the ground. I've been searching the forums for do's...
