Mumsy sorry about your day. Is there a bee keeper on your island they might be interested in collecting the bees for you. At least help you identify and find a solution to ridding your home of them. Lala so pretty, Mrsk can congrats on the broody. And thank you to those with the suggestions...

We are going away for a few days next week and I have someone to change the water and feed the chickens. But since the chickens can roam free usually, I was wondering if there were any activities I could easily set up to occupy them and keep them from being bored or flying over the fence...

Turtle, sorry about your mites and hatching issues. Mlowen, congrats on your new chicks! They are more addictive then candy crush!

The US is always slower then other countries unfortunately. We will get there one day, but not soon enough. She does have a large crop and it is bloated. This has been going on and off since the end of May. I gave her the coconut oil and eggs this morning. The "littles" were going after the...

Ok, I have some coconut oil because of this thread and I am cooking some eggs for my daughter this morning so that is perfect. I also have some gentian violet I could put in the yogurt. I have read it helps also in small quantities.

Ok, thank you both. So glad I took the video to show how she is behaving because she does act normal to me. She isn't a fan of yogurt. :-) But I will try to get some in her today. She is thinner then the others, but did give me an egg at least every other day up til last Saturday, but they...

She is healing from bumble foot and she has slow digestion causing her to have what appears to be sour crop. Thank you, it does make me feel me better knowing her health issue is hard to see. I don't want her to suffer, but I don't want to cull her if her "quality" of life seems fine.

Congrats! Justine. I thought you were already married. I loved living with my husband before we were married, things were so simple then. It is so good to hear your chicks are doing well.

Ok, all this talk of ill birds and culling has me doubting my decision with a hen. I took a video this morning, so please let me know your opinions. I have put animals to sleep before, but one I had doubts about. So I guess because of that and this being my first cull, I want to make sure I...

Lala sorry to hear about your chickens. Hopefully, the thing that made them get so upset won't come back. Sally8 hope you hear some good news today. You and your mom will be in my thoughts.

Haha so true. I have been super busy too. Congrats armor! Lala send some of that cool weather here. It finally has cooled down to the 80's so I am super happy. Sounds like things are progressing well with your nasty roo Mumsy. Glad to hear that. It also sounds like there will be lots of...

Thanks Mumsy. I know just the spot to start. Will take photos this afternoon. Have to take my daughter to gymnastics and a few other things this morning. Sally8 congrats on the three babies. I can't wait to see the three chicks with mama. Sorry flagirl with your bobcat and water issues...

I would love to be cc'd on this if it is possible. Mumsy, sorry you are having issues with your white male silkie. I hope something works out for you. Sally8. Lovely mama baby photo. How many hatched out total?

BMD - speachless Armor pm me if you are interested in any of the artichokes. You plant one you get 50, no lie. I dug thought I dug them all up and 50 + plants came back this year. They would make excellent shade for chickens.

So sorry Camellia. Hugs Mumsy he is a pretty boy. I like having lots of wildlife around also. A mama Carolina wren just hatched a couple of eggs in a box in our carport. We has some bluebird babies also, but think a black snake got both sets. So upsetting. Found 11 black swallow tail...

Mumsy love your garden photos as always. Amor do you have black eyed Susan's, cone flowers, blackberries blueberries? Our chickens love those bushes/ plants. Some provide food for them and some for the birds and you if the chickens share. I have heard pea shrub is another good plant to grow...

I printed the words up for her so she sings them without the music at times, but extremely fast. Mlowen, I look forward to seeing how it works for you. Sounds interesting.

I remember now. Solar cells, gotcha, I guess it doesn't matter if the sun is at it's height and burning them up. I do the beetles. My chickens love them. They will eat them if they are freshly dead. I think they might not have recognized them as food the first time I gave them the dead...

Very true. My chickens would love the breezes your have with the windows. Saw a snake outside the coop today, ran it off under the shed. pLEASe send some of that rain here! I put a fan out and they looked at me like I was crazy. Pretty chickens everyone. There was something else I was...

I have thought about the hardware cloth of the doors. I just need to get my husband to make one, or my neighbor to help me. My daughter had an idea of trying to use two old screen doors, but haven't had a chance to look into the size and how it would fit. Lynn I like your idea, but I have to...
