Yes, I ended up trimming with a nail clipper too. No big deal! Wrapped her in my lap and it took two seconds. She was so thirsty and hungry! So glad I noticed it and found YouTube video to see how. Seems there is always something new to learn.

I have nursed my Americana hen after a dog mauled her. She lost a lot of skin on her neck. Finally, after a month, that has healed, but I know her neck must still bother her. But she had been eating well until recently. Yesterday I noticed that her upper beak has grown out and under, sort of...
Thanks for your help! She is back on regular food, and in an x-pen inside the run because as you mentioned, the others are being really mean. I've also lobbed her a few earthworms over to her, and the other chickens are outraged if they don't get them also.

2. This stuff has two ingredients: ground corn cobs amnd molasses. Why does EPA need to approve this?
3. Wikipedia says the cause of death is...
Hmm, I am trying to visualize this. Say you have a perimeter fence you don't want anyone digging under. Do you unroll a roll of hardware cloth out flat on the ground, around at the base of the fence? Then bend a 3" edge down into the earth at bottom of fence? So it is horizontal except for the...
I've been trying to buy this for years, and finally was able order online this morning. It has been hard to get because it is only sold in the UK, unless you are professional exterminator in Washington State. At least that's what I was able to piece together.
In 2013 my sister in Yakima looked...
