I'm so very sorry to hear of your losses. I know it is hard when you loose a little friend like that. Thank you all so much for your advice. "Crossy" is holding her own. The suggestion of making the mash was really a help. I was giving her small dime or nickle size pieces of white bread...

I know how this is. We used to keep rabbits. My children would play with them, etc. - getting attached, so when the time came (and the hutches were full - time to put in freezer bags as someone else said) I would have someone help me with the job and I would put them in freezer bags to cook...

As to your question about your "one legger" foraging - she will find bugs, grass, etc. Of course, she won't be able to scratch, which they do enjoy doing, but she will benefit from being out. She will have trouble keeping up with the rest of the flock but she'll catch up with some every now...

WOW!!! What a beaut! wish I had one like this in my flock. I love barred chickens and they usually lay huge lovely brown eggs. Thanks for sharing the pic. Regards, The Lady

HI, since I'm a nurse and have had experience with tubes, syringes,and all kinds of other things from delivering babies to sewing people up so I've seen it all. A good syringe to use would be an irrigation syringe. It has the plunger and increments/numbers on the side but does not have the...

Hi, I have a hen that was hurt by a possum several months ago (maybe a year). Her drum leg (lower leg), both bones were broken. I splinted them with craft sticks on each side of the leg, wrapped it around her body until it had time to heal. at first, I kept her in a coop by herself to protect...
