WalnutHill, at first I thought you were making a terrible comment. Then I realized you were talking about an event. Lol. That is an hour and a half away. Sounds fun but not sure if I can make it next weekend.
Where the heck are any New posts? All I'm seeing is 2014.... Anyway I'm looking for someone to adopt (not eat) my surprise bantom Roo. He looks like a bald eagle but pigeon sized. I got in trouble before from a nasty nosy person (not even a direct neighbor) and had to get rid of my entire flock...
I haven't updated because having another baby and all but before I had my second son in July One of my Americanas decided she'd try becoming a mom too and stole eggs from her sisters to hatch. Big Red McClucken is now a proud father and I became a Grandma lol. Red is a RIR and I have 4 AMC's a...
My daily free-Ranging Americana, Elizabeak went broody behind our shed and some fence panels leaning up against it so we blocked off both sides the best we could so nothing would get in with her and hurt her or the eggs. I didn't want to disturb her just in case she abandoned the nest. She's...
This weekend really sucked not having Domino around. The girls were all standing around his grave and some even were digging in it so I had to cover it with a big rock just in case they try to dig him up. They also didn't want to eat very much but I did spoil them on tomatoes and watermelon...
Hey, I am looking to purchase some Broody Hens. Maybe a pair that are friends so I can put them in a coop together to help hatch some eggs I'm collecting from some of my un-interested teenagers. My favorite rooster died suddenly last week and he happened to be doing a good job fertilizing eggs...
My 6MO roo named DJ Domino died right next to me just now :( I'm so freaking sad. I let them out this morning and he ran up to me and followed me to get their feed like they all normally do and I put it down and he started to mount one of his girlfriends and was acting just fine eating and I...
What are all the clues and are there pictures to help? I have 2 ducks and they both sound different and one has a light bill/ almost white and the other is very dark yellow. They are about the same size. I have no clue what the tail curl is or what to look for.
I've been doing that with the pan that goes in the cage. I have straw in there... it just all went to mush the last few days because they are constantly attacking the water and feeder and I can't hang them in the cages. I'll take the pan out and put bags down so it will be easier to clean up.
To be clear... I have 2 coops set up with a run in between them and I have 4 adults in one and the other I have my teenagers and 2 ducks (15 teens). I let them all free range during the day and open up their coops and they seem to do pretty good but not good enough to move them all together at...
The dog cage has a pan that goes inside and I can remove that and dump it but They keep spilling their water and making huge mess now. I think maybe I'll just remove the pan and put the saving directly on the ground and in the coop so I can just lift them up and onto new beading and scoop up the...
do you leave them outside all the time or bring them in a coop at night or when it rains??
I have 8 in a large dog cage in my garage and it's a mess. I clean the cage every other day but it was so wet the last few days I've had to change it 3 times in 2 days and I thought my husband would change...
I have a few birds that have gotten it. Do you house the babies in Sawdust? what kid of bedding do they have. I noticed more and more of my babies got pasty butt when their bedding was reduced from large shavings to small pieces and they were eating it along with their food and getting their...
I use to have a few of these happy birds in our flock as a child. They were the only ones that loved to be around us more then digging in the yard all day. I never had an issue with bad moods from our hens. It's been a long time since I could have more chickens and I'm just moving into a new...
