    Sticky chicken needs help.

    I'll do it right away. She's my favorite, so I don't have to chase her around. Yes, it is quite funny, in a way. I was mainly concerned that when she decides to poop, because it's all in a ball and stuck to het rear. Thanks a lot, dad

    Sticky chicken needs help.

    Dad had a really smart idea to place a strip of FLYPAPER right across from where my little Bantie roosts at night. Needless to say , she is now running around with flypaper stuck to her behind. Does anyone know how to get this stuff off her besides giving her a "clip Job"? Thanks

    My bantie hen is sitting on her eggs and I don't have a rooster.

    That's a good link. Thanks for the info. I'll get het off the eggs. If she goes back, I'll put her in a rabbit cage for a while. Without a rabbit, of course.

    My bantie hen is sitting on her eggs and I don't have a rooster.

    I need some advice on how to re-integrate her into the flock. I really don't want to remove her and cause permanent psychological damage to the poor thing. Do I just let her sit on them? She's been sitting on them for a few days now. I doubt if she's been eating? Thanks.

    I need some advice on "Dumb Chickens"

    The top is covered with netting. The sides are chicken wire. I have a 5 strand electric fence running around the coop. The lowest wire is 5 inches off the ground. I wouldn't want to be the poor animal that messes with the wire.

    NEED HELP WITH A PECKER.

    Ok, I saw the peepers. It wasn't a newbie thing after all. Like, find me a sky-hook. Makes sense that they peck at their mothers beak for food. Thanks for the repies. I'll get on the peeper thing. How to attach, since they have no ears?

    NEED HELP WITH A PECKER.

    Thanks, Peepers for chickens. Ok, I guess that I should get her a little white cane to go with the blinders. Looks like this one's a goner. She'll never be able to get to the water and food. She does have a very pointy beak though. I'll trim a bit off the tip. Just to make sure that she doesn't...
