    My chickens have hundreds of square feet to range and my black australorp is also a bully to everyone bird below her in pecking order and she is third in pecking order out of flock of 6, she is also my best layer so I just scold her and if she pecks at me I peck her on back on head with my...

    ALL of them?

    Any feather piles? Molting will also put them off their laying. Only my australorp is going strong almost daily. The rest total winter freeloaders.

    Lingering Illness and sick bay

    From what I gather everyone appreciates a detailed thorough post here, so sit back. Backyard Flock: 6 hens (2 Barnyard red coming up on a year came to me in spring from less than ideal conditions), one Black Australorp and one Golden Laced Wyandotte- both born first of July acquired as chicks...

    Coop design needed for the Middle East persecuted & poor

    My understanding is rabbits and quail are more sustainable for these types of circumstances.

    Thoughts on quail for personal meat production?

    Yup that answers my question. I am very much considering starting a mini meaties operation. I’m urban and while ‘butchering” is technically prohibited in city, I can’t imagine anyone objecting to what I take care of in my garage on small scale for personal use. I was thinking starting with...

    Thoughts on quail for personal meat production?

    This article is awesome, but I need a few more steps after the end explained. I still don’t understand the resting for fridge vs freezer.

    A very pretty EE

    Looks like a consensus. Bummer because city limits say no rooster. I think he is going to be a gorgeous too. Fortunately I have a local contact that takes roosters every 1st and 3rd Sunday.

    First time treating Bumblefoot plan

    I’m cautiously optimistic, it seemed like Mac was putting a bit more weight on the “bad” foot this morning. The separation is rough, as soon as she is a bit more mobile I will try again to see if she can be with the others. They just zeroed in last time pecking her bandaged feet and she...

    First time treating Bumblefoot plan

    I hadn’t heard of this affliction but it actually makes some sense. There favorites hang out to get out of the heat is under some bushes that stays damp and even if I clean it Multiple times a day it still has feces most of the time, It seems like this would be a likely breeding ground for FPD...

    First time treating Bumblefoot plan

    the morning after my 3rd attempt to get bumble out. I’m leaning more and more to trying to get a vet appointment. She is just so unhappy and crying.

    First time treating Bumblefoot plan

    Another treatment attempt after 48 hours wrapped with neosporin. soaked with Epsom salt for 15 then I got a good chunk out but it didn’t have “clean edges” like I see in videos I tried to get more out but again my tolerance can only go so far befor neosporin gauze and wrap are applied. I tried...

    First time treating Bumblefoot plan

    I’m going to try again tonight I think I have screwed up my courage and I’m trying to desensitize myself by watching videos. I really don’t want to do a cut and deal with blood. I cant handle being in the room when my daughter is losing Her baby teeth.

    First time treating Bumblefoot plan

    So if we dont remove the Eschar and we use vetrycin and neosporin with wrap it can resolve? I plan to keep her in crate she isn’t happy about that. I can keep trying the soak and see if a home removal can work.

    First time treating Bumblefoot plan

    We tried but it was not going to release easily. Off to the vet maybe she will have tips to handle this at home easier next time.
