    How do I get rid of a flock of birds?

    We have a flock of birds that is eating up all of our expensive feed! I've tried hanging CDs, a fake owl, and my husband has even tried shooting at them with a pellet gun. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get rid of them? They are eating 6-8 lbs of feed a day. I can't afford this! My hope...

    HELP! Something is wrong with my chicken.

    I think I will let her be. She's away from the coop and not bothering anyone. I put some food and water by her. I might toss a golf ball in there.

    HELP! Something is wrong with my chicken.

    One of my chickens, about 7 months old, is acting very strange. She's staying in her nest outside the pen, where she typically escapes to in order to lay. She's been there for 5 days. She hasn't laid an egg in 4 or 5 days. At first I thought she just wanted a baby. But now I'm worried. She's not...
