Thanks for your help GrandmaBird! :) Looks like I'll be moving them inside later this week.

Last week I brought home a pair of buttons. The lady told me they are 2 years old. I'm assuming they are a pair anyways- one is a male for sure, he has the traditional feather pattern. The other is solid white. They don't fight and seem pretty bonded to one another. They were separated out from...

Thanks for nothing I guess. He made it through the night but is vomiting green fecal like liquid this morning. I feel like he's suffering and that's not fair. He will be put down.

I'd just keep an eye out for where she settles in for the night and go out and get her after she's asleep. A sleeping chicken is usually an oblivious and obliging chicken. :)

My 8 year old pekin drake was acting weird this evening when I went to do my late afternoon checks on everyone. He and three other drakes (they are less than a year) are in a pen that is totally shaded with their pool, two tubs of water, and a couple of buckets of water. I change the water out...

WOW! That is cool....

I was thinking the same thing last night. Going to start planning an emergency kit for all my animals with food, water, and anything that might be handy. We don't have wildfires around my neck of the woods, but severe storms and tornadoes are always a threat in the spring through fall. I don't...

Yay! It's exciting when they come sit on you. Least I think so. You have some very pretty birds btw! I had some reds a few years ago that thought I was a human jungle gym. I got them as babies from the feed store and spent a lot of time messing with them. They remained very friendly into...

Ewww... I think the broodiness may have tweaked her brain a little! lol

bufforphington: As long as she has ready access to both, she'll be okay. Feed her chick starter rather than a laying ration. Don't worry if it seems she doesn't eat or drink much or any at all. Ida would go for a couple, three days at time between 're-fuelings' when she was sitting. She isn't...

German short-hairs are beautiful dogs. And apparently very 'chicken' savvy too! My Aussie would just assume pounce and scatter so she can chase the roosters. :)

I just saw photos of the fire this morning attached to a news story. Scary stuff. Hope you all are okay. Take care!

Your momma is in a similar set up to Ida and her babies. The other hens can see them through the fence, but they aren't allowed inside. So far so good when I let them out for short bits of time into the yard with everyone. The chicks stay with Ida and everybody pretty much minds their own...

Very cool. What kind of a dog is Scoob?

Love Olga's hair bow. Too cute! She is very pretty! :)

Well done! Very creative use of space. I like the feeding tube. That is really neat!

I'm having an issue with skunks right now too....and it just so happens my Mom has one of those stupid fish. I wonder if she'd notice if I took it home with me. Has anyone ever used a radio at night? Or is it the element of surprise that scares them away?

My two little bantam (and youngest) roosters went to their new home today. It's amazing how the flock dynamic has changed. Everyone is much more relaxed and sociable......and I have hardly heard one or two crows all day. It's kind of weird. I'm so used to the calling back and forth all day, it's...
