    Feed and cecal poop... help?

    Thanks!! She has a blond pitbull sister and a brindle mutt brother that are just as rotten. If you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at! I never knew that something seemingly so simple as keeping a few birds in a cage outside for the purpose of free breakfast would be so complex...

    I did something really bad...

    At least you have the inner voice that tells you "no.. .bad... don't go in there" I probably would have gone in.... and been killed by a drug addict... if it wasn't for my sweet hubby who is my only voice of reason I'd have ended up in much worse trouble... Good luck if you go back looking for...

    Thank you for the warm welcome!! I believe it was a raccoon and he pulled a pullet piece by piece through 1/2 inch hardware cloth.... it was not a pretty sight... I am in East Texas and apparently the monsters here are patient and determined.... The mis-adventures have have surely gotten to the...

    Feed and cecal poop... help?

    Both of mine are Cockerels then, one is just about 5 months older than the other. The one in question with the issues is about 5 months old and a "coronation sussex" (I'm guessing not pure since he was only 10.00 but he does look like one) I have not noticed any signs of worms or anyone acting...

    Feed and cecal poop... help?

    Thanks for the feedback! I will continue to try putting him on the bars. The bars I'm using are 2x4's and I know he can get up there because I've seen him do it and you're right there is no telling his why for not staying. My primary thought is pecking order he is not fully mature and really low...

    Feed and cecal poop... help?

    This is actually a HUGE help! The extra food = warmth / extra waste makes perfect sense! I will definitely take some pictures though. I am curious to know if worms are part of my problem and what kind...? It is possible the rooster booster may be part of my problem and I will keep that to an...

    Thanks!! Chicken math I'm guessing = loose 1 go get 3 more? :lau Luckily the coop already built on the property looks to have been redesigned multiple times through the previous owner's trial and error with the local wildlife. So i am blessed to be learning from their mistakes on the design of...

    Thanks! I will. It has been a crazy 9 months of chicken obsession (ownership is not descriptive enough) So far the coop is now predator proof *knocks on wood* I have a coyote that stalks it about twice a week but she has yet to find an entry. We have game cameras set up now as well to see what...

    Turns out we can not hear them from the bedroom thank goodness... but he liked to play tag... with claws... We have an old horse barn that will become a chicken coop hopefully this spring so more chickens will be a must!

    Feed and cecal poop... help?

    I have noticed over the past few weeks the amount of waste including cecal poop has quadrupled in my flock. the few changes that I can think of that may be factors could be: Changes in weather? it is getting cold here and in East Texas the weather fluctuates pretty drastically it can be 75 one...
