    If it smells bad it's likely not just bruising. Healthy tissue should not smell bad. Infected rotting tissue does.

    Dog attack and Extreme shock

    Beautiful bird. Not as bad looking as I'm sure it was. Betadine will impede healing. It should only be used sparingly one time to clean wound in the beginning, washed off and then don't use it any more. Seeing you already got him cleaned up, just make sure his wounds stay clean and use...

    Get yourself one of the automatic door opener/closer. It works on a timer that you set the time you want it opened and closed. Also I live in the city of Chicago, 41st ward. I have not read or seen any rule that roosters are not allowed in the city of Chicago. Do you actually live within the...

    Mother cat abandoned four kittens in our attic... does anyone here have any advice?

    Just be sure you are getting kitten/cat info. Some things that pertain to dogs does not pertain to kittens/cats. Also a some dog things cannot be used or given to cats. You can mix some of the kitten milk with can food and make it loose to see if they will eat it. You might need to stick...

    No Eggs since early July

    I understand what it can do if they were laying. But they are not laying at all. There is no question about whether they are laying or not. There is not many if any really, hiding spots in my yard. If they were laying, it would 100% be found. My yard is very bare. One short mulberry tree...

    No Eggs since early July

    What's the point of confining them or retraining them of where to lay when they are not laying at all? The exam, good to know, but I have two hens and neither is laying, so the exam will tell me nothing.

    No Eggs since early July

    I get the shorter days. But this has been since July. The molting has not been since July or even August and it's only one molting. I don't believe it has nothing to do with molting or the shorter days. At least not since this started. Maybe now with the one that is molting. July and August...
