    LOL! They think they are! They very seldom get canned fish!

    HA! Sounds good. I had it around for the cats. Maybe I'll switch them too!

    Thanks! I did give some canned tuna about a week ago, they ate it right up! Do you think the mackerel is healthier for them? I put out plain yogurt recently, but only the EE's went for that. Their bums are fluffing back up some.

    I will for sure! One of them still has a scab, so I'm waiting until she's completely healed to try to get them all together. I thought I'd do it when the day will be in the 50's so I can comfortably spend a lot of time outside to be sure it goes well.

    I see, our coop is still pretty new and there is some DE in the bedding, so I don't think we have mites. I like the idea of using the shower curtain! Thanks!

    LOL @Latestarter , I know that can be common practice, but we are vegetarians! hahaha! I had read that curtains would harbor mites, but I might try your suggestion. The inside of the nesting box is painted dark brown, but plenty of light shines in the open side. Thank you!

    I only have 4 birds all together, I think the very top one started it and the beta copied. Should I just separate #1? Their run is about 10ft x13ft, before I divided it in half. They have logs and stumps and even a xylophone. The big coop is about 4 ft x 8 ft. They have free choice pellet food...

    About 2 weeks ago, my 2 EEs had their vents pecked bloody by my other 2 girls. I separated them, gave them an epsom salt bath and put pick no more on their bottoms. I built a backup coop and divided the run so that they could be outside while they healed. I gave them all extra protein and...

    Hello all! Uzi, I think a rooster rescue is a very sweet thing. My city doesn't allow roos, and I'd be very sad to think if I ended up with one, it would be someone's dinner. (I'm also a vegetarian, ha!) That being said, I don't have lots of spare cash. I could see something around $50-$75...

    About 3 days after I got my first egg on Thanksgiving, I saw our GLW drop one in the nest. So, I guess we were getting one from her and our BR and I was just surprised by them both on the same day. Uzi, I feel your pain! Our BR got a mild case of frostbite. One tip is barely blackened and...

    Yay! Thank you, 21hens! Both eggs are from today for sure, so maybe my GLW followed her buddy's example! I didn't hear the song on the second one. They were all out in the run when I found it. The second one is a similar shape, size and color, that's why I thought it may have come from the same...

    We just got our First Egg from our 25 week old Barred Rock! Happy Thanksgiving! (next to one from the store) I went out to give them some treats, and I heard a call that I've never heard before. I just knew it! I hope you and yours are all well! *edit* I just went out again and found a...

    Hi everyone, I'm concerned about the 40 degree temperature drop we are going to have in Aurora. I haven't made any provision for heating the coop due to the fire concern and the fact that the birds can gradually acclimate to cold weather. This temperature change will be anything but gradual...

    Thank you @aim0474 ! If I had the naming of all of them, I probably would have chosen themed names from a book, but instead, we each got to pick one name.

    Hello again, It's been awhile since I posted, but I've been haunting here and there. I'm sorry to hear of the losses some of you have sustained :( We finally got our birds last Tuesday! It took a lot longer than I thought to get our coop built...between birthday parties, work, and camping...

    Thanks for the welcome, @Robilyn81 , @Mtn Margie and @Latestarter ! My profile pic came from a duck pond in Estes Park. I couldn"t believe how many of them were coming over to get goodies! It made my day! Manjari

    Hello! I am new here, this is my first post. :) I'm a home maker mom of a son (9) and a daughter (5), we are each going to get to name one of our new chickens. Our coop is mostly built and I'm almost done converting an old shed into a run. I'm very excited to get our birds! We are allowed to...
