    Anybody else having air quality issues because of the wildfires in Canada? So far ours was the worst yesterday afternoon, but it's still bad this morning. A lot of folks are back to wearing masks again, only outside instead of inside now. I really feel for our animals that can't escape to the...

    Congrats to him, and to you! I don't know what all those awards and decorations mean, but they look mighty impressive!

    Hello, and welcome to the new folks! I'm never sure who's new or not, since I'm such an inconsistent BYC-er myself. (It's not you, it's me - I pretty much suck at any kind of social media.) But welcome! This is a terrific community!

    Thank you so much for such a thorough reply. I think you're probably right that this is what it was. I'm not so worried - now I'm just feeling very sorry for the poor fox. 😢

    That sounds hopeful then. It seemed quick - at least quick enough to get away from the dog.

    So...this is worrying me a little. Does it sound like rabid fox behavior? A fox crossed the driveway right in front of my daughter as she was going out to the bus stop (6:45am - early, but pretty light already). She said it barely looked at her, & it was "mangy." 5 minutes later, my son was...

    How have I never heard of freezing eggs?? It never even occurred to me! I must know more about this magic!!! 🤩

    Has anyone here ever gotten chicks from the Mill in Germansville? It's a feed store up north in Lehigh county (a little bit of a drive for me since I'm farther south, but not bad). They have a big "Chick Days" event in April with a great breed selection. I got four chicks there in '21 - all...

    Hello! It's been a while, & now I've spent an hour looking through back posts & admiring everyone's recent pictures. Things are pretty good here. We didn't get new chicks this year, so not much pecking order drama. And we've had a couple close calls with predators, but no fatalities. My Cream...

    Look at this! This mini-coop was thrown together in an emergency, & is handy for sporadic isolation needs. I know it needs to be reinforced, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I had a broody hen in there, & could tell something had tried to get at her during her last night. The day after I...

    Lehigh County question - non-poultry related. So... if I report that a dog attacked my dog, and BOTH dogs were off-leash, how likely is it that I'll get in trouble too? It was in a nature preserve, where I rarely see anyone else, but technically leash laws still apply. Mine wasn't the...

    So cold and snowy yesterday! I had to run out first thing in the morning (couldn't be avoided), and then my car couldn't make it back up the hill to home! I ended up parking in a random church lot and walking. By the time I got home, it was 11am and no one had thought to check the chickens...

    I think I've got to de-worm everybody. Not totally sure, because I haven't SEEN any worms, but I'm seeing poopy bums & eggs. My husband came home with Safeguard Fenbendazole in pellet form, which is all they had at TSC. Now I'm reading mixed things about it, but I'll do my best & chalk up...

    Finally got my first blue egg! Don't know why she waited this long, & then decided to start laying the middle of winter, but I'll take it! Now if she can only find the nesting box next time, that'd be great...

    Hi PA poultry folks! I'm trying to catch up on your posts, at least the semi-recent ones. I've been super busy for the last couple months. Not much chicken drama (yay!), but here's what's going on: I was able to rehome my last guinea hen to a local lady I met on Facebook. I hope she's settled...

    That would fine with me! So.... does anybody around here know someone with a flock of guineas in/near Lehigh county? I don't!

    I know it. She seemed a lot happier with other guineas around. But we're definitely not getting any more. My husband doesn't like them either, and he is DONE.

    I need some advice about this girl. She's my last remaining guinea hen (3 years old), as I'm transitioning to chickens. She gets along fine with my older hens, but not the younger ones. We've been working on it for 4-5 months, and there have been times when I thought it was getting better, but...

    Just look at this beautiful sight. This is my whole little flock: 3 adult hens, 4 pullets nearly laying, and the last of the guineas. It took a little longer (okay, a lot longer!) than I expected, but everyone is finally getting along fine! :celebrate
