    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    Yes the sound of a lever-action rifle is not exactly the nicest way to be woken up 😖

    Predator Attack

    The Moon Pie worked! So if you’re into Moon Pies maybe save a bite for your next raccoon. I’m not so I’m saving the rest of mine for his friends

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    No i shot him. Tried to do it while he was napping but he woke up and hissed at me.

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    Update to say that raccoons do, in fact, love Moon Pies! It took two nights but just a bite of Moon Pie was enough to entice him into the trap. I’m sure the remaining pie will last another ten years or six raccoons, whichever comes first.

    Big Dessert-Themed Hatch-Along

    That settles it. I’m getting one. I want anyone who sets foot on our property to think they’re being watched…and ridiculed 😆

    15 week Splash Ameraucana - hen or rooster?

    He’s very pretty!

    MS/ILT Positive Flock

    Personally I would let it ride because the upcoming generations would show greater resistance (I think. I could be wrong) and if there are breeds that are more resistant consider adding those to the flock. I would also consider culling the ones that are obviously not going to make it once you’re...

    My hen got a respiratory illness from neighbors chickens and I need advice

    Good fences make good neighbors. Build a better fence between his coop and yours. Do you have a picture of the area?

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Sorry I am kind of late to this conversation but when I didn’t have a rooster I bought fertilized eggs from local keepers and let my broodies hatch those. It wad a good way to get different breeds-I would network a little and keep numbers of people with breeds I wanted then text around when I...

    Is this chicken blind or is something else going on?

    This reminds me of my blind hen. She will do better with a couple buddies (preferably lighter colored in case she can see at all) in a run where she can learn her way around and nothing moves or changes.

    Predator Attack

    This is just anecdotal but an exterminator told me that when frightened or injured a coon will give off a scent to warn others not to go that direction. So he might have already done that just by being trapped. I know the last trap we set didn’t get revisited and I assume for that reason…also...

    Lethargic and arched- SO HOT

    Ok good. Sometimes I have seen people giving just electrolyte water during heat spells and that actually making chickens sick. That’s another thing we can rule out. While they’re on the Corid don’t give them any extra vitamins because it can counteract the corid which works by blocking thiamine...

    Is this chicken blind or is something else going on?

    How does she react when you move toward her while she’s on the ground? Her pupils look huge but that could be the lighting. She does seem like she is trying to follow the lighter colored chicken when it approaches her.

    Lethargic and arched- SO HOT

    You will know within a couple days if the corid is working. Another possibility is worms but that I don’t know much about. You’ve already done the easiest and most likely thing so try to go easy on yourself. If things aren’t looking up tomorrow there is another possibility that comes to mind—you...

    Eggs have too much and too little calcium?

    What breed? What is her diet?

    Lethargic and arched- SO HOT

    Poop pictures would help but treating them with corid won’t hurt.

    What gender?

    It’s not bad it just helps when determining gender. They are way too big to be in a brooder regardless of their age.

    SPECKLED SUSSEX SPECKLES?

    I would suggest posting here to get more targeted advice: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/speckled-sussex-breeding-to-the-sop.1568756/ I’ve only owned two specks and they were of unknown origin so I’m not super helpful
