Snakes are pretty cool. But the Late, Pastor Coots and the Snake Handlers, are a whole different kind of Crazy!...JJ

My youngest daughter had a Ball Python named Severus Snake, a play on the Harry Potter character. Me, I would go with... Don " The Snake " Prudhomme! One of the fastest and most famous Funny Car Drivers of the 70's and 80's...JJ

I have a different experience than some here. I had two, 4 month old injured and recovering Jersey Giants that slept in our Bedroom. One perched on a small shelf on our Headboard and her sister perched on my Ribcage all night! When I got up to use the bathroom, she would climb up my back and sit...

Oh Fudge! I don't have a Thing to wear with that. Guess I'll have to pass. You Girls are sooo Lucky!...JJ :barnie BTW...At first read, I thought " Adorbs " was the Brand Name...:lau

It's hard to tell texture, height off the comb and if it is IN the comb or just on the surface. Does washing with a little Soap and Water do anything. Any more detail you can give would be helpful...JJ

Had a girl with a very similar wound. Took just over 4 weeks but the hole is closed and the feathers are completely restored. She and another with a healed tail wound. Are in the Hospital Coop, in the run where they can see and be seen by the others. As soon as some Cockerels are re-homed, we...

Come on now! She carried that Egg for 24 hours, it's Hot, there was a Line at the Nest Box, and she's not feeling her Perky Best... Can you blame a Girl for wanting to look Nice before she goes back to the Flock?!?:confused:...JJ :)

Fodder is not unlike the birds Free Ranging and eating Grass. Is Grass Nutritionally complete? Nope. So the birds still need their Feed to provide what Wheat, Barley or other grain Fodder lacks. My plan is to only supplement their regular Feed, with Fodder from November to March, the Months in...

I don't think anything has to be wrong, other than she changed her mind about where to perch, so far just one night. I have a recovering pullet in our house that for most of 2 week slept perched on my left side Rib Cage, covered with a towel. Out of the blue, she spent 3 nights perched on a...

We feed and water in the Run. Keeps the mess down. From observation, once the birds Roost and settle in, they don't get up to eat or drink until morning. Feeding in the Run let's you get your act together before you open the door to the MAD RUSH! My wife will take her time filling the feeder...

Totally agree with above. As young girls, if one of my three fell, or the Dog knocked them down around me, I gave no more reaction than to look up to verify nothing obviously Broken or Bleeding. The girls would get up, brush off and move on. BUT, If Mom or Grandma, was around and gave the...

If you have predator control, Tenax Deer Fence may be of help. 6 and 7.5" Polypropylene Fence will do a better job of keeping Flyers in, but a determined Escape Artist is still likely to find a way. I have had great service from Deer Busters...JJ

Food and water IN the Coop is very likely going to require Daily Clean out and bedding replacement in the coop. Ducks can be some messy critters. We put food and water in the Run. The Run, being more spacious, can likely take more abuse before you need to clean it. Word of Caution...It is a...

Sorry to here that. We have a Zero Tolerance Policy for animals or pets that draw blood on children. Our 9 year old, beloved cat, bit our babies face when the baby tried to pet her. 2 hours later that cat was at the ASPCA. In your case, Chicken Soup comes to mind. Coq Au Vin is a Classic for an...

The Township said No 4 years ago but things may have changed. I moved to Rural PA and can raise any animal that won't Kill people if it escapes...JJ

The Rest is about getting the meat past Rigor before freezing. Rigor causes the muscle fibers to tense. Over the next 24-48 hours Rigor passes and it is ok to freeze the meat. If, you freeze Before Rigor Passes, Your meat will be tough and no amount of cooking will tenderize it. Soaking in Salt...

Could she be a Late Bloomer? My oldest crew, 17 weeks, is made up of five Jersey Giants and 4 Wyandottes. 2 of the JG girls were much smaller than the rest. 2nd day in the coop, they got beaten bloody by the others. Separated 2 weeks now, and well fed, their size has caught up to the others...

I can't speak for chicks straight out of the Incubator, but this last batch of 10, 1 week old Cochins, we got the end of July from TSC, are doing great. The are in the Living Room with AC running at 70! We put up the heat lamp and they moved away. We Raised the heat lamp and still no interest...

Similar story. When we lived in NJ, we would go to a Egg Farm. The operation was clean and the birds were not caged. They used nest boxes that the eggs would roll away and on to a conveyor to be cleaned and sorted. You could get Brown or White and any size from small to jumbo. We bought a 30...

S Started with 10 but one died very young. So 9...5 Jersey Giants and 4 Gold Laced Wyandottes. They were there 15 weeks because the coop was not finished. These are pretty large birds, 5 pounds, at 15 weeks. There was the usual Pecking order disputes with a reminder as to Who eats First, etc...
