    Chameleon, snake or small bird cage

    Hand made cage originally built to house a chameleon, but could also be used for snakes, or small birds such as finches or canaries, with some minor modifications. It is made of solid wood with screening for 3 sides, hardware cloth on the top (to be able to hold lights), and the back is plywood...

    Need opinions on this cage

    I'm about to list a cage on Craigslist, that I had built to house a chameleon. I was wondering what other animals it could be appropriate for, so I can tag the listing to attract more viewers. It is built from wood with screening for 3 sides, hardware cloth on the top (to be able to hold...

    Two Roosters Cohabitating Happily?

    This past spring, I decided to add to my flock, and bought a pair of EE's (a roo & hen), and two chicks which I thought were both pullets. Well, one of the chicks ended up being a roo, so now I have two roosters! So far, they are getting along fine. The younger one, Mischief, has never...

    Hen laying odd eggs in odd places - Pictures!

    About a week ago, I saw our Speckled Sussex hen, Kitty, suddenly stop in the middle of the lawn, and adopt a stance that looked like a little owl. A few moments later, she laid a smallish egg that had a paper thin shell. While odd, I thought maybe it was one of those fluke things and she was...

    Succesful integration of chicks in with the grown-ups! :)

    By George, I think they've got it! My 12 week old chicks, Mischief and Magoo, are officially in with the the grown up birds. For the past few weeks, we've been keeping them in a small coop and run right next to the main run, where they could see each other. For the first week, we let the...

    Could my Buff Orpington/EE mix chick be a roo?

    I bought a Buff Orpington (Magoo), and a Buff Orpington/EE mix (Mischief) chick last month. They were sold as being 8 weeks old, but after comparing pictures to my older girls at that age, I estimate that they are actually about 8 weeks old now. The mixed chick has a combination straight/pea...

    Does anyone out there recognize this child? Sad story. :(

    A very sad story involving the discovery of the body of a dead 4-5 year old boy. No one has come forward claiming the child. No missing person reports. Someone out there must know who he is! How anyone could harm a child like this is beyond me. A computer generated photo of the boy is at the...

    Rooster coming when called?

    We got a rooster last month, so that my girls would be protected while free ranging. I talk to my birds all the time, frequently addressing them by name. I've let them out a couple of times now. At one point each time, "Merlin" decided to wander over to the neighbors to check on their hens...

    My Buff Orpington chick needs glasses!

    Today, I decided to give my new chicks (about 4 weeks old) some small mealworms. One chick gobbled them right up with no problems, but the Orpington chick would consistently peck 1/4 inch in front of the mealworm. She would peep in frustration as she kept missing her target. Occasionally she...

    We lost our first hen :(

    We found our Buff Orpington hen, Maple, dead this morning. We just got back from a 5 day trip late last night, and discovered her this morning, just outside one of the nest boxes inside the coop. We had someone over to check on them every day & to collect eggs. She has done this before for us...

    Problem w/Pullet-Shut Automatic Chicken Door *Update* Problem no more!

    A couple of weeks ago, we bought a Pullet-Shut Automatic Chicken Door. We followed all the instructions, yet have run into the following problems. We programmed the door to open and shut at our designated times. The door will work fine for two days and then will not open the third day. We have...

    Green egg with brown speckles

    One of my EEs, Sassafras, laid this brown speckled green egg the other day. Usually her eggs are a uniform shade. Does anyone know what may have caused the speckling? She is her usually happy healthy self in all other regards. Her very first egg was a darker olive shade, which hasn't been...

    "Charlem"... It's whats for dinner!

    http://www.takepart.com/news/2011/01/31/meat-from-a-lab-its-whats-for-dinnertomorrow Yummm! No animals have to die, it is better for the planet, & uses fewer resources. They need to think of a better name than "charlem" though. I vote for "smeat" (smart meat).

    Brrrrrrrrr!

    It's been close to 0 degrees Fahrenheit in the mornings here in Maine. A wee bit chilly for eggs! On the plus side, the girls are handling the cold wonderfully!

    I have a contention with this song

    I have a contention. "...He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!" To be good for goodness sake implies that one should be good because the quality of being good is it's own reward- for the sake of goodness. This song, instead, seems to imply that one should be good...
