I like ugly things. You should see my couch.

Why so much for this bird?

Heelers&Chickens_OhMy :

Sigh. I no longer have 5 chickens, I have 1 :-(

Maverick, my youngest and newest dog, TORE UP HARDWARE CLOTH to get into the coop. I came home last friday to find 2 chickens dead in the coop, and 2 chickens dead just outside the coop. Sigh. This coop stood up to a 65 lb gung-ho pitbull for nearly a year and my 30 lb heeler destroyed it when he was alone outside for 3 hours.

I found my only living chicken, now named Bon Qui Qui, in the corner missing a LOT of feathers. She seems to have made a miraculous recovery as she followed me around the yard this morning! Thank goodness she pulled through.

I have plans for a super-duper reinforced coop (think white picket fence made from pallets along the bottom) to ensure that my sneaky dog CANNOT get through the coop if left outside for 4 hours (the longest he ever needs to be left outside when the maids are here).

So, with only 1 chicken, how should I introduce new chickens? Chicks? 1 chicken? 4 chickens from different flocks so they can all sort out the pecking order? I would like to have 4 or 5 hens again. I'm not in a rush, as I'd like to get the high-security coop in order first, but I would like some advice on rebuilding, if you guys have it.

Sigh. My poor girls. I'd had them since they were 2 week old chicks.

Sooo Sorry

I have quite a few chickens and could spare a few if you want a friend or 2 for your bird

Let me know.

Yep. I feel the same about silkies.

But I thought these guys in the thread were AdOrAbLe!

Different strokes...

Wow, the thread does move fast! I also have not been getting e-mail notices....strange

Heelers, so sorry for your loss...

When you are ready, I am sure you'll have no problems finding some new babies to love

Little late (see above) but hope everyone had a relaxing Mothers Day weekend...BF got me a great (although not poultry related) gift and I spent the day putzing around my secret-garden-bird-compound... Its looking a little better, but adding more soundboard to keep the cackles to a minimum

Oh, and I have chicks (pheasants and cochins) coming out of my ears.....its been a good spring

 

[smjacob]

On email notices If I havent opened the last email I got and I havent gone to the groups and seen that page then I am not getting notices.

SO make sure you open the last email notice you got and then go to that board and it should send you a new one when a new posts is there.

Or it could just be broken for you

[Enjaytoo]

Well they appear to be coming in now so that good. Not broken, yeah

I have some pipped eggs that refuse to zip. I know I should not "help", I did that to many times with bad results....Its so difficult though to watch them cheep and not get anywhere
