    Ripped pinless peepers off! Help!

    They are blinders that hook into their nostrils. They still see to eat etc. and have worked so well for a couple of months now. I really don't think they were being hurt by them at all. They are just too smart for their own good and aggressive too and figured a way to get them off.

    Ripped pinless peepers off! Help!

    I don't really have a place to isolate them. I guess I could get a small cage or something. No rooster and have I kids and worry about having one and it being aggressive with us! So, that's why we don't have one. Most of the hens are good natured. Just these two aren't. I don't want to make them...

    On Friday 24th, I bought tiny chicks that I was told were a couple of days old from IFA. I bought 2 buff orpingtons., 2 black australorps, 1 barred rock, 1 Rhode Island Red, and 2 Ameraucnas. One ameraucana died a short time later that day and the "warranty" was still good and so I went back and...

    Help! Dead with intestines hanging out! Please Help!

    Thank you for your reply. I know they did not have pasty butt because I am checking them out morning and night. Only the Orpingtons both had it, but now they are good too. I had not seen any pecking at rear ends either, so I don't know? I'm not even sure the first one had the intestines coming...
