That's great! Mine is doing much better as well! His toes are much straighter than before, but not completely yet. His feet have been taped for a week, so I'm just gonna tape them up another week and see how he progresses. :) I also switched from bandaging tape to vetwrap for his hobbles...

It was a pretty regular occurrence for the vet I worked for to flush traumatic and surgical wounds with penicillin. However, it is not a very broad-spectrum antibiotic, and tissue permeability isn't great. Staph aureus, which is a prevalent source of infection in chickens, is particularly...

It looks really cozy! :)

Did you ever sort your baby's gait problem out? Could he have been reluctant to walk because he had no traction? I ask because I picked up a d'Uccle from TSC and just now noticed he's got some toe curl. But it's only the one toe on the outside of each foot. He was getting around fine at...

What a clever doggo! <3

She's not the least bit obsessed about carrying things in her mouth... lol She doesn't smile, either.... And she's NEVER greedy with her sister!

Yes. Mind you, she's laying less and less. Now she's barely laying. This spring she laid a total of 6 gigantic blue eggs. She laid about ten the year before that. And only in the spring, when the temperature's really really comfortable. I reckon if she'll stop entirely in another year or...

To me, this is not so farfetched. I actually do keep a chimnea in my run as a nesting box, and it works great! My old girls love it, especially my 10 year old EE who can't get around so well anymore.

Well, since I didn't have time to react to take a picture, my black hen totally did not lay a random egg in the middle of my yard. And I totally did not discover it, because my pit bull totally didn't pick it up and bring it to me. There was no look on her face that suggested she was thinking...

Really, sugar's not got much to do with it. Cocoa itself contains a chemical that can make most animals' heart rates skyrocket and damage their kidneys. Our own metabolisms are different when it comes to chocolate.

Mind you, I'm not arguing. I hope I haven't been doing an awful thing, because I've been feeding my birds mandarins for years, and they love them. o.o Thankfully, they haven't been having the issues described in the article. In fact, they look S3XY.

I think it's probably just best to assume chocolate is one of those things that's bad for pretty much everything but primates. That being said, my chickens DO LOVE multigrain cheerios! Can't go too far wrong with those, if you're just giving them as a treat. :)

Adorable. That's what I call her. <3 :D

Egad! Where do you live?!

Yeah, if he's dropping his wing and dancing around you, he thinks you're HAWT! ;D

A silke roo named David Bowie! Ha that is GOLD! XD

Silkies are really sweet and docile, so you may be ok. For a long time, I was also down to two hens and one roo, all Ameraucana/Barred Rock crosses. They seemed to get along fine. In fact, if anyone was bullying anyone, it was my larger hen bullying the roo. He tried to mate with her one...

I shot mine with water. I guess I did wrong... o.o

I'd be inclined to think that. Except that my roof is layered. I used a roof kit from Tractor Supply(thank GOD for that place!) When I put the kit on, first I attached the frame for the roof, then I stretched the chicken wire over the frame, and then I stretched the tarp over the chicken...
