    Review by 'peckpeckpeck' in article 'Chicken bully/chicken victim - a two-sided issue'

    This is great! We really do focus on the bully. I try to give my victims more attention & treats, but sometimes I think it backfires on me when the bully gets even more jealous & goes after the victim more. I never thought of sending the victim off for a week at the spa. I’ll definitely try it!

    I just took one of my girls to the Avian Medical Center in Lake Oswego & had a good experience there. They were able to get me in at the last minute & were on time with my appt. Dr Lintner gave me some antibiotics to add to their water & took the time to answer my questions. Glad I found her...

    I was gonna ask how it was. Didn't make it down because of last min vet appt for the furry child (dog). The one you picked up is *mighty* cute! And it looks like she's already bonded with your DD. :love Sweet. What was it that disappointed you?

    Chicken Lifespan

    That's awesome! What tricks does she do? I'm clicker training one of mine to run after a ball & differentiate colors. Post pix or videos please! As for lifespan, I've read that chickens can live up to 10 years or more. I wonder too if my girls will live longer since I give them lots of...

    My Chicken lost a toe and now she won’t walk

    Glad to hear she's feeling better! As @azygous suggests, an epsom salt bath is really healing. My girls sometimes nod off to sleep while they're soaking & also love the blowdry afterwards.

    Depressed Hen

    When my girl faced the back wall & closed her eyes & sighed, she was in pain. She ended up laying several soft shell eggs. But you say Bluesy is laying normally. I would get her food & water so whatever it is, she can keep her strength up to fight it. Will she eat if you offer her food or...

    I just met a couple who have 50. And they're brooding another 15 for a friend who wants started pullets. If you have more than that, you're in trouble. Less than that & it's normal chicken math!

    My Chicken lost a toe and now she won’t walk

    x2 Her whole foot & leg look swollen. I'm not sure what medicine you can use for that. But it might help to put her in a sling. That will support her so she doesn't have to put pressure on the foot while it heals. You also put food & water right in front of her so she has 24/7 access to...

    Growing Salsify

    Yes you can grow salsify like carrots. I heard it tastes like oysters, but I don't know from experience since the smell of oysters always made me nauseous. Let me know how it tastes. Now that O can stomach oysters, maybe I will try it.

    Gasping for air

    Oh poor girl! I'm so sorry! It really is so hard because we get so attached to them. I can't believe I've had my girls for less than a year because I can't imagine how I lived without them. Sounds like you really loved your BO & she looked like such a sweetie in the video. At least now she's...
