Hello - Found this post during a search, as I have a pullet doing the same thing. I put down a treat on the ground, she sees it and goes for it, but misses about a half inch low. She will try about 4 - 5 times, then gets frustrated and figures she cannot reach the treat, gives up and moves on...

Here are the photos of the hen we culled today. There appears to be a herniation, it was hard to tell the condition was this severe with all the feathers on. She was still producing eggs.

Hi jlawson83 - I was looking at your coop build photos, and feel compelled to offer some feedback. I do not work in construction, and have no special training in the field. So my analysis here may be worth just what you paid for it. I have built a few things that have not fallen down...

Posting a few photos of Amy's ( Pharmchickenmom ) silkie chicks. The other photos made them look like they were on Mars. Apologies out to Rancher. I feel your pain, bro.

Pharmchickenmom is photo posting challenged, so I will help her out.

Thank you, Namboth, for your response. It seems if you sell birds or eggs ( within the definitions on the website ) you need the $200 permit. Once again, NY goes overboard on the regulations. Owners of ducks and geese ( as well as the other species on the website ) need to be watchful about...

Hello Fellow New Yorkers - I was talking with a co-worker this morning about chicken raising etc. He was interested in raising quail. He mentioned hearing about permit/license needed issued by the DEC. I went to the website to look, and to my surprise I see ducks and geese are on the list of...

Jack - You make very valid points. I will come up with a window closure system for the monitor windows. There is a overhang covering the monitor windows, so I will likely go with an inside opening design. I got some time to plan it and build it. The windows in the back of my coop do not...

I have fitted glass windows for the screened side windows. Those are stored in the coop on the wall. I did not want to use a double hung style, as I wanted it open the full length. I am considering what to do with the top vent. I did not want to do a window that opened outward, as it would...

So how exactly to you connect the egg and the fish hook?

Very nice work and use of that rough cut lumber. I would have liked to use board and batten on my coop. Very nice job!

The milling attachment is an Alaskan Saw Mill - link here - http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200316891_200316891 The saw is a Husqvarna 455 Rancher. Is it "rough" on the saw? I don't know if it is outside the design specifications of the saw, but the saw does work hard. I...
