    Treadle vs Dine a Chook to deter wild birds?

    I sort of assumed the same, but someone suggested it I think on a Facebook group so I was trying to look into what the best option was and came here. Are there any issues I should be aware of with treadle feeders? I love my girls but I don't think they're the smartest bunch so don't want to...

    Treadle vs Dine a Chook to deter wild birds?

    We are having the biggest issue with wild birds. We bought 4 x 20kg bags of food (roughly a month's worth) and it's gone in 3 weeks because of the wild birds. Has anyone got any feedback on the treadle feeders vs dine a chook? We currently use the plastic ones and have done since we got our...

    Are these lice/mites? Best course for treatment?

    There's one that's an Araucana and I swear to you I've never dealt with an animal so dramatic! It's going to be a good laugh trying to treat her because she will literally scream bloody murder :p

    Are these lice/mites? Best course for treatment?

    Here's the best photos I can get, but I'm relatively sure that it's lice from the photos! We've managed to get pestene, a spray with pemethrin and we just need to get new bedding for the coop then we'll treat them all properly to get rid of them! Thanks to all for their help/feedback.

    Are these lice/mites? Best course for treatment?

    Hey all, I hope everyone is heading into the festive season with no issues and looking forward to some downtime. We've done our regular checks on our girls tonight and found that they have these 'bugs' by their vents. They're not visible elsewhere but are quite abundant by their vents...

    Pekin Hen - lost appetite, changed behaviour

    Yes, they're quite yellow in person too. I have checked her belly - the very little I know about water belly, I gave her belly a feel and check and it seemed "normal" and not water balloon-esque (which is what I've read about water belly). I will try her on some tuna tomorrow and grab some cat...

    Pekin Hen - lost appetite, changed behaviour

    Sorry for the slow reply @Eggcessive - she was seemingly getting better so we held off on responding (she was getting back to being a madam, eating - albeit a small amount and drinking) but she's back to being off again today. She is still separate from our other girls. She HAS laid eggs - we...

    Pekin Hen - lost appetite, changed behaviour

    Drumstick (she is well loved, I promise - our family has a terrible sense of humour) is what we call a madam - doesn't like to be touched and absolutely will not tolerate being picked up, will happily come to you and be your friend for food but otherwise leave her alone and she's quite content...
