    Injured Bird. Maggots

    Hey Ya'll:) Having a bit of a dilemma...could use some advice. On the way to work this morning I came up on a polish rooster in the middle of a busy highway. (Only me, I mean really!) I stopped and picked him up. On inspection, he is very lethargic, possible broken wings, COVERED in tiny...

    Show off your small or cheap made coop

    Yes, just drill through the metal to attach the dish to the posts. Ran an ad in the local wanted bulletin for free removal of BUD dishes, was hoping for a fiberglass dish but hey...this one was free so I won't complain. Finally got the other post for the door up today so hopefully soon I will be...

    Show off your small or cheap made coop

    I called the local grocery store and asked about the buckets the icing in the bakery is shipped in. They give me as many as I want. They are nice and square, you can build a simple frame to keep them stable. Plus, they hose out so cleaning is a breeze.

    Show off your small or cheap made coop

    I love this! Such useful stuff on here. I am not quite finished with mine yet but will post a photo anyway. That'a a satellite dish for the roof, planning on using some tin from the old coop to cover half for the roost area...

    Now that's bravery right there...

    Thanks ya'll, he is pretty, but he's one of the meanest roo's I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He comes and beats on the front door if he can see us inside. WR and RIR cross, he can knock you down if you aren't paying attention...who needs a guard dog? Hehheh! Takes good care of his girls...

    new and having mixed feelings

    Welcome! I'm new here too. I've yet to get an ugly pm but I'm sure it will happen sooner or later, ignore it and go on about your business. There will always be a few of "those" everywhere.

    Homeschooling when in Transition!!

    Definitely look into the co-op, possibly a church nearby? I tried the K12 program that was offered free through our public school system here in SC...and quit. The curriculum was fantastic, the public school system mandating 6 hours a day, etc was not. It honestly turned into 8-10 hours a day...

    Wasps Help me please!

    My birds eat absolutely everything. I've watched them pick a wasp off a bush and beat it on the ground, then swallow it. No ill effects and they've been doing it for years. Same thing with Black Widow Spiders. Awesome pest control! :)
