I used to raise parrots and had lots of large macaw size cages out in storage. My girls stopped liking their huge coop. So I lined all the cages in a cool/warm weather protected corner. I weather wrapped each for a wet and/or cold southern California winter (Y’all know how rough our winters...

I have a frizzle chick. Someone told me yesterday a frizzle Is not a breed and can be any breed. Does that just mean these chickens have a defective Feather gene and Now people are selling then as rare exotic birds?

I Keep my guns for my protection, not blasting any cheaters to bits.

What's the point of catching the rat in a live trap. IMAGINE BEING TRAPPED IN A CAR SINKING IN WATER VS A QUICK INSTANT SNAP DEATH OF A GIGANTIC TRAP. I'D RATHER DIE INSTANTLY. I do that almost everyday until I take a rat catch/release vacation for a while then it's back to catch/release...

if I were a chicken I wouldn't want to go in there... it looks like a trap. I have wire sides so they can see out if they want and in winter (so california) I put layers of blankets over the wire areas. There's two houses with a wire tunnel connection. in winter the only part without blankets in...

I dont believe in throwing a creature in the trash life waste paper. I wrap them in red fabric. I smug them with sage. I thank them for the time they spent with me. I bury mine deeply using a post hole digger. I sprinkle some crumble and scratch in the hole/grave, put large large rocks over the...

I have a similar situation and I still can't find a hidden nest... it must be horrible by now OR COULD my dogs be eating the eggs in a hidden nest when no one's around???

Since dogs can be de-barked by a vet, why has not one come up with a way to de-crow a rooster...

I think the person suggesting styrofoam balls is an idiot. And I don't care who screams at me. Personally I have a phobia about snakes, but to cause them a painful death, is worse than cruel. A true animal loving human should not cause un-necessary suffering. I'm not for shooting them either...

When my girls were too thin for my concerns, I stopped giving them treats throughout the day. Only laying crumble as they would not eat the pellets. I decided to only give them treats at MY dinner time before sunset and roosting time. I throw out human oatmeal and a melody of dried...

my silkies get along just fine with my buff op and easter egger

HOW DO I FIND MY STASH OF EGGS. I've looked everywhere I can on my 1/3rd acre... I know they are out there somewhere and not in my coops. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE

Why would you keep putting this baby back in with the others knowing they are traumatizing her? That's just un necessary.She needs a quiet place to deal with her recovery. I always keep an emergency "hospital" cage/coop in the ready for my girls and or any other critter that crosses my path.

Thanks I was about to clean out a smelly coop tomorrow... it's been raining. I'll be sure to "suit up" ...

I noticed my #1 oldest hen crowed when her companion the former #1 died, leaving the royal throne to her. She did it again when I brought in a couple of new silkies... I figured she had to tell everyone who was top bird.

Anyone know if LA is still under quarantine? I have 2 silkies, an easter egger and my old lady Buff O who's no longer laying. I'd like to add 2 more but can't even get fertilized eggs to put under my brooding silkie. ALSO as the weather has moved into spring here, my 3 layers may have decided to...
