    Natural repellent for gnats, flies and mosquitoes

    But what about the rest of the backyard? We have a decent size area where we keep our vegetable garden and also the area around the deck. When we have barbecues, it's almost impossible to be outside because of those tiny flies and mosquitoes. I get particularly bad reactions to mosquitoes bites...

    Felling Sad. Need to open up.

    Is this Fowl Pox? Pictures.

    Based on the behavior lately, I believe completely that those can be pecking marks; with all the pecking order fights happening. Thank you very much for the help. Being the first time for us raising backyard chickens, every little thing worries me, and everybody here at BackyardChickens is very...

    Black Australorp.. Hen or Roo?!?!

    Thank you everybody! It's a relief to hear that. Unfortunately in our neighborhood we are not allowed to keep roosters..

    Black Australorp.. Hen or Roo?!?!

    Hey guys! Could anyone tell me if they tell if this guy is a Roo or a hen.. It's funny, as a baby chick he/she was the most quiet and actually one of the smallest, but now he/she is very territorial and sometimes aggressive to the smaller hens. He/she is about 16 weeks. Here are some pictures.

    Rhode Island Red Short Tail.

    That's okay. She's very health and active... It's just the tail is so different from my other RIRs. Do you think that can develop later?!?

    Rhode Island Red Short Tail.

    No, there were no feathers, I looked around and nobody has been picking on her at all. Here is another picture of her. And she also has the feathers much darker than the other rir.
