    What did you do in the garden today?

    I checked on my growing gourds, which are supposed to be picked around this week, although the whole plant shouldnt even be alive in december. I watered my freshly seeded beds of manakamana rayo spinach, beetroot and mustard greens, some part of which my chicken, Dodo, has partly dug up, so i...

    We clearly haven't tried everything. But we're at the end of our rope. Your advice, please.

    I would just ignore it, i have a hen who crows, quacks, clucks, squeals, moans, lows, moos and hoots, some birds are just naturally noisy! Think of it the same way with humans, some love talking and speak up for themselves loudly whenever they feel smth not right, others are more chill, go with...

    Ostrich, my chicken, back when she was young. I lined them up for a photoshoot just for fun, ostrich is here loudly conplaining, gawking at me over the injustice of being sat on a railing while she could be out worm hunting or plant destroying!

    Nepali winter coming up, ramshackle little garden coop needs a real big makeover and non-electric heating

    I've got a strange little handbuilt coop+run, extra low, person cant fit inside, stone pieces put into floor to avoid dampness, old weathered logs and poles as perches in the run, a little bamboo and tin shed in one corner, wire roofing, canvas has to be put ontop in the monsoon because the...

    Advice needed on introducing new flock member to a grieving hen before winter. Ostrich died of...

    Thnx for the advice! I know, i diagnosed coccidiosis by myself bcause the vet didnt, i might've been wrong. The temps barely go down to or under 0 celcius here these days, so i should be fine with pullets, i guess. If anybody has similar experiences, let me know!

    Advice needed on introducing new flock member to a grieving hen before winter. Ostrich died of...

    Yes, her appetite was low in terms of the feed i gave them, but she ate plants and stuff while out and about. The green poo was one of many symptoms i thought she had of coccidia, such as extreme lethargy, and there was once a bit of blood in the poo. Any ideas or experiences about the situation?

    Hi, thnx for the advice! I really get nervous with small, young birds, tho, and as i said i got my pullets in the spring because i dont have heating lamp facilities here, even the brooder that my birds grew up in bounced between being a cardboard box, a wooden box and a big finch cage. I know...

    Hi, thanks for the advice! Wow, got good laughs out of the ostrich-emu-dodo thing! Sadly, the only ostriches and emus here are in the zoo, with not even a bone of a dodo in the whole of nepal, i meant i have 3 chickens with goofy names, and i know, i should put capital letters in the start of...

    Hi, everyone! Basically, the sad tale goes like this: I had 3 chickens, ostrich, dodo and emu the rooster. Emu bit me and bit ostriches comb in half, so we gave him away. So life was good, i had two young hens who were laying daily. Till suddenly ostrich got sick, slowly by slowly, as in no...

    My gosh, i won! Wasn't expecting it at all, the other pictures were so much better than mine, i was sure the pink galah or the amazon parrots would win. Thanks, everyone!

    Yes, i know! These were pictures from when i first bought them, the breeder was a mighty stingy lady and crammed them into a tiny cage in a dark corner, since then i have had their nails trimmed by a petshop owner, given them egg food and greens and reduced the amount of millet in their diet and...

    My oldest bird, named Sowhat. He is rather calm compared to the other one, looking at me as if saying 'so what?' He looks like a plump, grumpy old man in this photo!

    This is one of them on their favourite perch. Placing perches in the corners of cages for smaller birds really belps them feel safe and becomes an ideal sleeping perch, btw.

    Hi, all! Here are pictures of my spotted munias or spice finches, (lonchura puncrulata). Many people likely haven't seen this bird before, as it is a shy southeast Asian finch species. They are social birds, and prefer their own company rather than that of humans. I have two of them, and one is...

    Fowl pox after injury to comb on young hen...

    So its a long story, but my rooster pecked my hen, tore her comb real bad. Took her to a vet, got things cleaned up and perscribed. There was this antibiotic powder medication given for putting on the wound every other day for a week, but i noticed rashes on the poor bird after the treatment, so...

    Rooster Picking on one Specific hen.

    Yeah, i guess you're right, i was trying to avoid this outcome in the end, but i have a few people lined up who just might like a crack crazy rooster, or I'll give him back to the breeder. Such a shame, though, he was getting to be such a handsome bird, with glossy purple tail feathers coming in...

    Rooster Picking on one Specific hen.

    I've also been having problems with a rooster. I have a real small flock of 3, 1 eooster and 2 hens. I did not intend on a rooster, but i asked for 3 hens and 1 turned out a rooster. I know this ratio is totally terrible, but i really love all my birds including the roo, and I've had them since...
