It's very possible. We live in central Texas & these are free range. They're loose all day to roam free. We supposedly have these spiders all over the place that will rot your skin if bitten. It's not the Brown Recluse...a different one. We also have lots of scorpions but haven't seen any inside...
I don't have a photo of it but the underside appears to be normal. It had the same color as the other foot. I don't see any obvious puncture wounds where bacteria could have entered. I don't see any visible bite marks.
My vet recommended waiting a few days to see if it worsens. I'm a pretty...
I hope not. My local avian doctor said that bumblefoot affects the whole foot, including the pad. The skin on her foot is a light orange color. The bulging out area on her toe appears to be pink in color & I can see her little veins. I have touched it & it feels warm. It feels soft. Not sure if...
Hello.
All of the sudden, I noticed that only the front center toe on one of my hens feet is swollen in the middle, near the joint. My local avian doctor, without looking at it, said that if it appeared all of the sudden, that it could be a possible scorpian bite.
It's been 2 days since I've...
Hello Junko! I own the Ador version. Honestly, I would go with the chickendoors.com pullet-shut version. It will allow you to set the exact time in which the doors opens & closes.
I have the Ador one & it is just WAY too inconsistent!
Sometimes the door closes @ 8 pm & other times @ 9. My birds...
I don't think that the door is closing that early. I live in Texas & it usually closes between 8:10-8:25pm. There have only been a couple occasions that, that happened. Btw: the coop is pretty much predator proof. The hardware cloth has very small openings & it fastened from the outside of the...
Hello. Yes, I did build the opening around the door. The coop is brand new, so... I had the benefit if customize the opening to fit the Ador perfectly.
There have been a few times when the hens are still outside when the door closes & the rooster gets caught inside by himself. I still have to...
That's awesome! It was the Adorstore model or the pullet shut & I don't have power ran to the coop yet, so this seemed liked the logical thing to do. :)
