She promised me that too!!! But as loud as mine is, I know it's a boy!

I think maybe if you brought her in and kept her in a pet carrier at night, she would be fine. It may be best to make her a cage in the coop, and once she grows up a bit she will prefer to be with the flock. Right now, sounds like she is on the bottom of the pecking order. She will very...

Sultans make cool pets, they look a little bit like Cockatoos. Silkies are super sweet, hens anyway. Those tiny D'Uccle's are rather calm and quiet for small birds. Anything with a topknot will be calm, as they have trouble seeing. A white topped Polish would be nice. So many choices, and it...

WE have two cockatiels and just love them. They are extremely tame, ride on your shoulder everywhere and love to be scratched. They give kisses and talk to you in a bird voice. Not heard any mimics from them. The downfalls of them are: they are slightly messy, they make LOTs of DUST when they...

I love project birds!

I have two wheaten hens that happened to, they are now bald, but fine. Just keep it clean if possible.

Good for you! This is as it should be. I shoot to kill any dog that is in my yard and attacking any of my livestock. I fully expect my neighbors to do the same if MY dog was in their yard or pastures. I will shoot my own dog if need be for killing any livestock on my farm. A dog that kills...

I am on your side. But honestly, I don't think those meds would work. I PM'd you, hope it helps. HenZ

I LOVE your coop, but more than that I love that swing to sit and enjoy it. Nice job. Thanks for updating.

Shelley, I just read your post, YEAH! I sure hope you round up those wiley Peas. You might use some long grass string next time they get to 'free-range', in case you need to reel them in.

I use a very thick mattress cover, actually I use two on mine and I have no problem. I got one that is made of very soft, cool cotton. Then I use really cool, cotton sheets. I love mine and wouldn't have any thing else.

I was stunned. I looked her over, then tried to see if a new chicken had arrived, nope, it was she, the wild Leghorn, all fluffed up like a little cochin, growling at me, even pecking. Usually she runs away fast, but I had noticed her mellowing out a bit this past week. I think she will be...

Redhen, you and I are cousins. I know it. I have blue blue eyes, but my blonde hair has darkened to a brownish now.

So sorry. If it makes you feel any better, my own experience this year has been less than stellar. I lost my whole flock save ONE (23) in a rain storm one day. I noticed them huddled out under the rabbit coop during the storm. They didn't move most of the day as it continued to pour rain...

I know about eye problems, as I am battling them myself. One issue is Air Quality. I had a hen autopsied from a swollen head and there was NO disease or organisms to be found, not even worms or Cocci. Basically, the air quality in my coop is NOT good. I have tried everything. I have raised...

I was just bragging, YESTERDAY, that my University bred White Leghorn lays an egg every single day since she started laying. She is a very busy hen, a bit flighty and she roosts in the loft of the hen house, jumps the fence everyday and does her own thing. She is the only white egg layer on our...

When hens first start laying, they lay very sporadic. It may be days or even weeks before you see more eggs and they may be irregular in shape and size. They usually start out small (called pullet eggs) and then get larger with time. I find that most of my BCM hens lay every other day, or...

I would vote in any newspaper poll, to give my point of view. I agree that actual voters should know the facts and should only be allowed to vote if it affects them.

One way to change the texture is to bake the potatoes first or boil them in their skins. Boil them until they are just barely tender, cool completely and peel. Make your soup, but do not put in the potatoes yet. Cut them in extra big chunks, as they will break apart a bit once you incorporate...
