    Auto Coop Door Heater

    Oh this is a great idea.... I've been trying to come up with an economical plan. Is there anyway you would give me more info on how you built/rigged it? It looks pretty simple, but just in case. Did you have any kinks you had to work out etc?

    Have a sick female turkey....all she does is stand around

    I don't think she had begun laying yet. She didn't seem like it was a broken wing or foot either, but she eventually died. We gave her Tylan injections for a few days, but on the bottle it said not to give longer than 3 days so we stopped. The next day she was coughing up phlem and a few days...

    Indoor Pheasant Needs a Beak Trim...Can I do it?

    Yes I live in E Tx! I'll try to get a pic of him this evening after I clean him up (I have to wash his beak before bed). I don't know a great deal about pheasants, but I was told they were Jones Silvers when we got them. He is still young so he's the usual brown that the females stay. He can't...

    How noisey are they?

    I am not an expert but I think it depends. We have 25 or so now & the young females seem to make the most noise. When I was a kid I remember them being noisy as well. When we first got these, the females (2 in particular) were very annoying. They would get close by and make a racket something...

    Does Golden Malrin work on Rats?

    I'm not familiar with GM, but I have issues with the traps that snap shut... and because my chicken yard is very near my house I've had problems off and on. I found an electric rat zapper on Amazon and you dont have to fool with trying to get the rat out without touching it or resetting a yucky...

    Indoor Pheasant Needs a Beak Trim...Can I do it?

    @ Tony-Actually I tried to raise a dzn or so of the Jones & had one male Ringneck (because he was so colorful) but now I'm down to just the one because the others kept wandering off. For a while I was able to sneak up on them and grab them out of the bushes etc. Eventually they wandered farther...

    Indoor Pheasant Needs a Beak Trim...Can I do it?

    Hi All & Thanks in advance for any replies! I have a teenage male Jones Silver that's been living in my house for a month or 2 now... he came down w/ the pox and it was too cold & dark in the garage. I've been keeping him in a medium sized dog cage and letting him sleep in the bathroom in a...

    Have a sick female turkey....all she does is stand around

    No unfortunately until recently when I realized my pheasant was sick I hadn't thought of quarentining the new guys. My father (who lives next door) is really the one who brings new birds home. I suppose at his age me telling him to quarentine the new animals is like going against the grain. He's...

    Pictures of Pheasant Housing/Run

    I really enjoyed seeing everyones habitats & got some great ideas....I just wish I has the carpentry skills to make it happen. I have a single male pheasant (out of 10 he's the last) that is going to need his own pen when I move him back outside. He is currently recovering from the pox and my...

    Oxine??

    I've been using Oxine AH (specific directions for animal health use on the label) and think it works wonders. I discovered it when I was searching for some way to treat a pheasant who was diagnosed with Avian Pox. The vet gave us antibiotics to prevent secondary infections etc but said that the...

    Have a sick female turkey....all she does is stand around

    I have a red female turkey that has never really been friendly. Several times a week I hand feed some bread as a snack and unlike others she doesn't get too close. I bought her at the flea market a few months ago and she's never been an aggressive eater. She is a young turkey but looks to be...

I live in E Tx and have a yard full of animals including lots of chickens, ducks, geese, guineas, and a lone pheasant who is...
