I got to work and was called that a baby was attacked by the older girls. She was taken inside, head washed and put by herself. Looks like they ripped all her head feathers off or basically scalped her, her eyes are ok. [/IMG]I have meds I can start when I get home in the morning but any advice...
I have 4 hens that need to go to a good home. These have been our pets for the last 2 years, so they are NOT for food. We moved the coop and found termites have taken it over and we just cannot replace it at this time. they are a blk austrolorp(Pixie), a buff orphinton(Tinker), a white...
All I wanted was to redo my coop roof since it was leaky.
so my wonderful other half took to it a couple weekends ago and I got what I wanted. It is more of a little cottage style now and I just love it. Best of all, the wood was reused from the old garden and I only bought a quart of paint...
okay so my children wanted a new pet since their guinea pig passed away last easter. I had bunnies as a kid but that was awhile ago .so I had been looking at rabbits. seems like a double plus for me, the kids get a new pet and I get the bunny poop for the garden (my underlying motive ).

lately we have a raccoon that keeps hanging around. it keeps tearing up my seed beds on top of the coop EVERY night. we had a long day at Aquatica yesterday and went to bed pretty early and I forgot to turn on the backyard light. (STUPID! ) So this morning I go to check on the girls and...

hi everyone!
I am totally new at all this and just loving it so far ~
I first bought a rabbit hutch and modified it. I was okay until something(possum or raccoon) almost got the girls. It completely shredded the wood door. So the hunt began for a coop and run plans.
I think I did a great Job...
Hi,
I am new to the chicken thing and so far loving it all. My 4 girls are 13 weeks now.
I read on here someone putting spanish moss in the nesting box....
Has anyone else done this? I just got DE and can add that to take care of "critters" hiding in it.
The moss is plentiful by my house...
