    The Front Porch Swing

    I was posting at three an because I had to feed baby racoons. I have to go feed them again. Anyway, I won't discuss the issues further because I don't want to wreck it for others, but I'm Sheila Deane from Cambridge Ontario Canada in case anyone wants a Facebook friend. Bye.

    2 yr old rooster has gone psycho

    I guess there's a head bobbing part. My rooster, when he's faking, comes up quite close, keeps one eye on me, and pecks about in the dirt at my feet. But he doesn't make the "goodies" noise, and none of the hens come over, so I know he's just messing.

    Tid-bitting is that sweet action where the rooster finds goodies and catches and drops them in front of the hen. But there is also fake tid-bitting where the rooster sidles up next to you, pretending to have a treat to share with you, but actually just positioning for a hit.

    2 yr old rooster has gone psycho

    I like the stand you take in this post. Like you've weighed everything up, (and goodness you got a LOT of opinions on this thread), made up your own mind, and then are prepared to live with it, come what may. Kudos, good luck, and continue to enjoy this wonderful unpredictable and kooky world...

    No, but I'm impressed, think its a great idea, and I'll get on it in the morning. Do you think dog nail clippers would do as well?

    Picture thread of my hens!

    One of the reasons these pictures are so beautiful is the contrast between the weathered wood and textured exterior of your farm buildings and the gorgeous mahogany or peachy sheen of your hens' feathers. And they let you get so close!

    Gardening with poultry thread!!!

    They ate chives? That seems odd to me. It has such a strong oniony odour. My chooks don't go near it. Course the strawberries are right beside. Lol. This morning Ive taken the same little cedar waxwing fledgling out from under the strawberry bird netting THREE times! Happily chomping away under...

    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    Someone was asking a few pages ago about the wisdom of turkeys and chickens sharing close quarters? I think the disease that they could communicate is blackhead. Chickens are carriers and turkeys fall sick.

    Beautiful! Is that grapevine or willow thatch? On a practical side, how do you clean that out?

    2 yr old rooster has gone psycho

    It is interesting though, that if we think about it, we may have played a part. I know, most will say you need a rooster so docile you could bring a tank into the hen yard and he wouldn't mind, but there's lots of us dealing with a rooster that, while not stupid docile is also not crazy...

    2 yr old rooster has gone psycho

    Yeah I understand this. Our "attachment" I think is half empathy and half enjoyment. You get a laugh a day from him and you can see the world from his point of view. So that adds up to some degree of attachment. I can't really explain this and I don't want a ribbing from the others on this...
