    You might try a butterfly closure if you can get it to stick to the skin. Superglue works on wounds, but I think it might be a nightmare trying to hold the skin together while you apply it, and not getting feathers into the glue. Or yourself. It does look pretty superficial--personally I'd...

    Reminds me of a joke my grandmother used to tell: What's the difference between a rich man and a poor man? A rich man has a canopy OVER his bed.

    I am definitely trying that frozen milk jug thing! Do you put them outside?

    We just went down to Sam's and got a 5000 BTU unit for $120. It says the annual cost to run is $64, so even if I double that since I live down here in Satan's waiting room, I'm still way ahead of having the electrician come out.

    I lost an Ameraucana two days ago :-( It's so hot in my chickenhouse that they won't lay in there--they're all finding places under bushes and things. One of my Ameraucanas has gone broody up under a storage building, and no matter what barricades I put up, she manages to get back under there...

    Hmm. Maybe we could work out a "meet halfway" arrangement. I've got a sister-in-law just outside of Charlotte (Lincoln, I think) who keeps chickens. ETA: and of course Shallotte is really close...

    I'll repeat this post on the SC thread, since I'm in Wilmington, which will wash down into SC with the next big hurricane. I'm looking for some folks who would consider, at some point in the future, going in together on baby chick orders where the minimum is too large for us. At the moment I'm...

    Hello, all! I'm on the coast, in Wilmington. For the last 7 years I've had a job that required constant domestic and international travel. So when I got abruptly grounded last March, my number one silver lining was that I got to keep chickens again. We repurposed half of an existing storage...
