    Will chickens help control STINK BUGS!!!!

    My chickens love to eat stink bugs. We see them chasing them all over the yard. This year we had minimal June bugs also. They eat the grubs before they can mature. My girls are earning their keep.

    Can my chicken be friends with a stray cat?

    We really want to trap this kitten and have it fixed and at least a rabies shot. Ultimately would love to incorporate it into our home. It is just not going into the trap. We will keep trying. All of our animals are rescue pets.

    After catching him and examining his spurs they are not bleeding and they are hard. What we did find is a swollen toe and what I think is the beginnings of bumble foot. Thankfully we have felt with this before and soaked , medicated and wrapped him up. Hopefully since it hasn’t turned black it...

    Too has spur damage

    My roo has been laying around since yesterday. He does come out and walk around but isn’t running for food. That is very odd for him. Today I noticed both of his spurs are broken. One is almost gone. I’m thinking he may have been in a fight with something. The rest of the flock are all acting...

    Broody with too many eggs

    Update on our crazy ordeal with this broody. We tried to move her and the eggs but she freaked out. We ended up putting her back and marking all the eggs. Finally we had one hatch. We were able to move her and the remaining eggs to a secure area. Five days later another egg hatched. So we have 2...

    Broody with too many eggs

    Ugggg. This bird is so very nasty now. Gonna need welding gloves to pick her up. Do you think I would be able to candle them and toss the ones that haven’t started to develop. We have a separate pen for her and are going to move her. Would it in better to move her and give her a new clutch and...

The problem we have now is, the lazy RIR hens are laying eggs in her box. I think there may be as many as 15 in there now. The first egg is...

    Gleet maybe?

    Sadly she passed a short time ago. Her crop was empty. Molted in the Fall and feathers looked great. She hasn’t been laying while being sick. The only thing other than the green poop is her vent seemed small and not easily opened when cleaning her. She was x wormed in the Fall and no signs of...

    Peahen egg issues

    Update on Penny the peahen. I took her some oyster shell calcium this morning and she was sitting on her nest. It’s been at least 4 hours and she is still there. I guess she just needed me to buy an incubator to motivate her. I guess the countdown starts. Praying this all works out with...
