    How do I deter foxes in broad daylight?

    Public Holiday in suburbia Melbourne today, we are having a lazy morning cuppa on the couch and about 9.30am the girls all start, what I initially thought was, "Come look, I've just laid an egg song". As sometimes happens, everyone joined in the song (we have 9 girls and 1 silkie Rooster), and...

    Puffy quail with runny nose and lethargic

    So I just checked on the quails and noticed one didn't come for treats. She is puffy and sleepy and not eating anything. I got the hospital ready while hubby got her inside. He noticed a whole bunch or liquid apparently from both nose and beak. I tried to feel for an egg and I'm pretty sure it...

    I've read some threads on the subject and I guess I'm not sure what is best. Our nearly 1 year old Polish started wanting to roost high, high up (maybe 10 foot) in the tree most nights and just this weekend we went out to do some errands and when we pulled in the drive, she was on the wrong...

    Rescued chickens today, can you help me identify their breed?

    Hello! We rescued four chickens today and their previous owners weren't sure what breed they were. I reckon we might have a Sussex, Rhode Island Whites (x2) and either a Faverolle or a Belgian D'Uccle. Thoughts? Sorry pictures aren't great. The buggers won't stand still! We are keeping...
