I need some help! My roo has had a problem with one of my hens. He chases her if she gets too close to treats and/or he feels like she's hogging everything. I thought he was doing this because she was a bit of a bully. My husband found her sleeping under the nest boxes the other night and...
One of my new lavender birds was carried away over the weekend. All I have left is a pile of feathers in the yard. There are times when I really dislike wildlife!
