Good Evening! We are waterlogged here, and up to our knees in icy cold mud! We are having a very mild winter so far-almost no snow- and I just couldn't believe that I was harvesting rosemary , sage, and the last of my rainbow chard and Siberian kale in DECEMBER☺️ That was a first for us! I gave...

Love the name, by the way☺️

Oh my! That face! He is absolutely adorable-in a rakish, swashbuckling way😄! They are certainly worth the trouble they sometimes cause us! Good to know about the frostbite. It can be awful. I got it in a blizzard on the Front Range in the Rockies 25 years ago and permanently lost all feeling in...

Thank heavens he's ok! Tough little stinker, isn't he? If you could post a picture of him, that would be neat-my kids and I were hoping the best for him and wondered what the liitle scamp looks like☺️

JLS-That is exactly our plan for our coop this year! I just got my first 2 eggs yesterday and this a.m. and am over-the-moon thrilled. We have no light at all at the moment, and my oldest hens are just now starting to lay-at the darkest time of the year! We live in the mountains of the Inland...

I am sorry-I sure hope the little fella survives the night! If he does, maybe he won't go back up ever again because it was so unpleasant. Please, keep us posted? Have a good night.

My son is a falconer, so we have hawks being trained in our yard a lot. Needless to say, we have some experience with their behaviors😊To keep the wild ones, and the crows, ravens, and owls out, we have twine and flagging strung in a grid above our run. Snow falls right through it, and we have...

Oh no! Hmmm....is there anything like a long pole or something you could sort of "sweep" him off with? If he is still at lowest point of roof pitch? Then toss a blanket over him once he lands? We have used a long-handled fishing net taped to a clothes-line pole to get a hen off of a branch too...

I'm assuming it is already dark now. I hope you can get him down ok!😥

My son's Red Tailed Hawk refused to leave our roof once a few years ago, and he had to get a ladder and get him down-not fun in winter in the dark. Could you have some one get up there and sort of scare him off of the edge?

Could you perhaps toss some of his favorite treat on the ground where he could see it? Then he may come down to check it out?Maybe cracked corn, mealworms, or maybe some greens?

34 and partly cloudy. Some snow melting.

That is my hard times verse too! (I'm not a tech savvy person, so I hope I am replying to this in the correct place! Still confused by forum rules/protocol.) And I am certainly not young; I just wanted to say that it warmed my heart immensely to see this thread! God bless all of you dear young...

Thanks! Pretty good so far. About 20 hatched and healthy-2 are zipping as I write this. Set 32 total. Hopefully the rest will be ok!

I was able to take a picture of one. It got much worse after several minutes. The other looked a lot worse, and it was unable to move its right leg. It sort of dragged behind it.Poor little things.

I had to put the two down. Actually had husband do it-I can butcher the adults, but the chicks...Also, can I gently clean the filthy ones with warm H2O and a washcloth and maybe use a low temp hairdryer after they've been in the brooder a bit? I've only done that with week-old chicks after...

Thank you! I guess I knew that, I just get so worried about losing too many, as I am needing to build more layers into my flock:)

Thank you! You are very kind!

Help! Two of my chicks hatched (after I went to bed last night) with intestines hanging out-woke up to a horrible mess! Egg yolk and blood everywhere. Several otthers hatched along with them and my incuubator and chicks are a filthy mess. I still have several others left to hatch. My question...

Yes! Two so far! They are Buff Orpington/Goldenlaced Wyandotte mix. They are doing well as of right now, chirping away and trying out their silly little pink feet!
