    That is terrifying. I’m considering just letting it stay and not letting it leave because of this. It’s a bad situation either way, but I’d rather risk one persons bird they have neglected by forcing it to stay than all of my girls. ( I don’t know if I’m forcing it, she really won’t leave) I...

    Pigeon visitor

    I’ve tried and no one wants it…I’ve tried to scare it off. (Which made me feel awful) It must just be in a state desperation and I assume it’s relied on humans to survive. I cut a hole in the coop on the end that’s doesn’t lead to the run so it’s free to leave when it wants for the next two...

    Non laying hens taking massive poos

    Both those birds started laying….they still take giant craps. I have no idea. The one that had watery foul smelling poop ended up being another chicken. She got very sick and I took her to the vet and they told be she had ovarian cancer, I had her put down 😢. Other two girls seem fine. I...

    Did you keep them with other types of birds? How high was the netting?

    Pigeon visitor

    Because pigeons needs a way to leave the coop during the day they fly during the day. My chicken run is covered with netting. The pigeons will attempt to fly and get caught and likely die and my chickens will probably eat it. Even if it doesn’t fly and decides to walk around the coop and run...

    Neighbors chickens are a hot mess

    I agree, they just keep buying. I’d love to have more chickens but I don’t have the space I feel is sufficient and my boyfriend might kill me if there is another body pooping in the back yard. I have to consider if it’s right and who would it impact if I had 800 chickens. I’m scared they will...

    Pigeon visitor

    A homing pigeon came to visit us last summer. It stayed on the roof and also tired to sleep in our chicken coop. Last year we went to an extreme heat wave of 120°. I took pity on the bird and try to accommodate it, I also called the owners from the band I found on its Legs. They didn’t...

    Neighbors chickens are a hot mess

    I’m not worried about running over their chickens as much as a car running into our house.

    Neighbors chickens are a hot mess

    They joke that if they are in my property I can fry them up. They are really clueless.

    Neighbors chickens are a hot mess

    I read about motion activated sprinklers, but the boyfriend says he’ll get sprayed every time he walks to his truck too. I’m still thinking about it.

    Water poop and Shell-less egg

    Today my chicken Fizzgig who is about three had clear stringy discharge dripping from her vent. Suddenly a shell-less egg dropped from her. She’s been pooping what looks like water but with white specks. I have a picture, but this one has a little fecal material in it. She also didn’t run...

    Neighbors chickens are a hot mess

    The traffic issues are probably the best bet. I looked at animal containment and it only mentioned dogs really. It’s difficult to find much.

    Neighbors chickens are a hot mess

    Are there any laws in your county or state about containing livestock? A long shoot but it might be worth looking into. They are also creating a traffic hazard. Sometimes you have to think outside the box a bit to solve a problem. They seem resistant to accept help. We’ve offered a few...

    Neighbors chickens are a hot mess

    My boyfriend says six foot fences make great neighbors…But it will make visibility backing out of the driveway difficult. It’s also a lot of expense for the neighbors recklessness. The more chickens they get the more the behavior will be passed down. Ill have to think on how to discuss the...

    Neighbors chickens are a hot mess

    I think they’d just buy more. They have a nest camera or else I’d rehome all those poor girls. I like the idea of using the chicken wire for the garden, I don’t know if my boyfriend wants that esthetic in the front yard, he’d more likely build a privacy fence. They sell the eggs so I think...

    Neighbors chickens are a hot mess

    I understand backyard chickens are kept for many reasons and that not all considers them pets and more livestock. I do believe that there is some etiquette for neighbors and humane treatment of the animals regardless of why one has a flock. That being said…. I live in the suburbs, not the...

    Rhode Island Red Vs Gold sex link

    Could she have one less vertebrae but has like three random butt feathers? I saw some pics online of birds with that weird shape too.

    I tell that to myself often. If Toxie isn’t ruling the roost, the olive eggers are waiting to take over and they are crazier than fizzgig.

    Rhode Island Red Vs Gold sex link

    She is ridiculous. And probably the most amusing one to watch. She seems fine physically. She is actually the only one of the girls that flys. I used to have to climb up to the coop roof and get her… she can fly up, but she can’t fly down. She flys up the retaining wall but takes the stairs...
