I have not been Around much, things have been pretty good, considering what this year has been. I decided to move the girls fenced area to more of my yard so we can see them from the house. I didn't realize that the dilapidated falling apart bluebird hose was still being used. Pre fence move...

Was talking to a coworker who's mother is a chicken lady and swears by it, says it works faster than Corid and you don't have to use as long, she sent me the 'recipe' for it. 3 oz plain bleach 1 1/2 cups sugar to 1 gallon of water. use for 3 days of this being their only water, followed by...

So my SS formerly named Dot (short for Dorothy a good solid English name) is now named Rogue. She sees a fence as something to be on the other side of. Until this week the Premier fencing had been keeping her home, only wandered afar when I had them out in the yard, I have a privacy fence on one...

I have a 7 MO Easter egger, I have been treating for about 3 weeks. I swear she is feral, hates HATES being handled and totally panicked when I separated her from the flock, bad enough she couldn't control where she was going but the added thrashing was really bad, she was in a dog crate inside...

My girls won't use it, it hung on their wall for about a week. Paid 20, asking 10. Powhatan Va.

so my sweet little Dot, SS, who has been doing fine, for a few weeks, has started dropping her head again. She is isolated and I gave her the electro lights Vit E and some poly vi sol. She is eating and drinking a little. None of the others are having any problems. They have been in the coop...

I got two Black Australorps and two Americaunas, today, 4 and two weeks more or less. There were probably 20 chicks in a 2 x 4 box, the Australorps both have missing feathers and red raw looking skin. The Americaunas look fine. Is this just normal feather growth, overcrowding or something else...

After the top of the dead pine tree crushed my last run cover I was trying to find something with a better design than my PVC/chicken wire and tarp set up. I found this 'Car Port' at Agri Supply for less than I could rig something. It is a very tight fit over my dog run, because the run is...

I am getting blue green and brown eggs, they will be a year in april. There are two that are almost identical, the one in profile, the other is black with gold accents, also much shorter neck than the other two, the man who gave them to me said they were all hatched together, but taking that...

So one of my BOs started going broody on me, I had plucked her off the nest box and taken her out to join the others for a nice spa day. (dust bath and sunbathing) so far so good, she stayed in the dust bath, and the others wandered around, I notice there is a deer grazing close by, young, but...

Or should this go under Feeding your Flock? We have them everywhere. I am not talking a few random inchworms, I am talking hundreds, and the girls love them, The wild birds are doing their part too, I just hope they can't O.D. on them. I can't see a solution, so I am hoping for the best. (as...

So, years ago I worked in a shop in a strip of businesses, The people next door were great, and the owner lived out in the country and wanted to get a LGD, he bought a Kuvaez puppy. (that's how he said it was spelled.) she was adorable, he said they were very territorial, so he wanted to...

Not sure I did this right, but I thought it was worth sharing.

I was so proud of my chicken run, fence buried, top covered electric fence, I really thought I had it covered. Mr. LePu has dug a serious tunnel, it starts about 5 feet out and must go down a few feet. into about two fet inside the run. Girls are shut in the coop safe and sound. I almost stepped...

Met my electric fence last night. Ask me how I know?? I have a wood pile nearby that might not be getting burned this winter. Hope it just keeps on moving. Girls don't seem to notice, and my car is outside the O-zone.

I have 5 BO girls all the same age, bought at the same time raised together etc. Matilda has always been boss hen, I have made it clear I AM ALPHA HEN. Anyway today they got to free range all day, and I was taking a break from splitting wood. I sat down and a couple of the girls wandered over...

I live in an area with a ton of hawks and owls, so there is no way I could have an open top, I started with netting and a hawks went through it. (RIP Varly chick). Now I have hardware cloth, and chicken wire covered with tarps. Chain link fence, with hardware cloth inside and electric out. Are...

I knew someone was about to go into serious molt mode, but when I went out this morning I was met by a HUGE pile of feathers and 4 hens asking to go out, not 5. Where is #5? I look in the coop, I look under the coop, still 4 following me around, WHERE IS FIVE OMG SHE HAS BEEN EATEN. Our run is...

I have a very healthy population of tree rats, they hang out under the bird feeders. try to get in the chickens run, and gernally annoy the heck out of me. They have no fear, one actually came on our screen porch in search of sunflower seeds this weekend. (so one of the chickens wandered in too...
