I didn't mean to be rude, if that's what my comment kinda showed. I was just saying. Sorry if it came out rudeI understand she isn't and that in no way was she harmed intentionally as those ex batts are. The filing I have heard about to fix beaks is rarely talked about except in relation to those that care for the ex batts, which is why I mentioned them. Based on your description your girl has mended well and should be fine
Heh yeah! Thanks! ❤I say as long as she is eating well then I would not stress her (or your dad) out.
Is this Aroura?!
Ha I may need to zap my dadElectric fencers are great fun with naughty horses and goats ! Oh and kids who grab their dads hand and say”dad I want to show you something “ and grab the electric fence giving their dad a huge lifter haha
For electric fencers, they can be plugged into a GFI, but if the GFI is tripped then yes the fencer is down.
What I did is put the fencer inside the barn (as mine isn’t weather proof), I used insulated wire inside the barn running from the fencer and out to the actual fence and grounding rod (which was 8’ in the ground).
At the actual fence I connected the insulated wire to the actual electric fence wire - I have used wire, tape, and twine. I much preferred the twine as it breaks if the horses tangle in it, and I have seen horrific injuries from wire and tape which don’t break.
What I plan with my chicken run, is to run three strands of twine on the outside of the run, the first strand at about 8” to 10” off the ground and then at 1’ increments up the run fence. To keep raccoons and foxes, etc out.
An easy way to keep the fencer from grounding on weeds and grass, is to spray the fence line with Round-up to kill the vegetation. Use this in the evening after bees and other pollinators have retired for the day.
Happy zapping!
My brothers girlfriend did that to my Brother once when he was bullying me
Ha I can tell... I am indeed very scared
Thank you! So a Buff Orp mixed with an EE? Nice! Do you think she would go broody if I gave her the chance? She once fell asleep on the nest and I thought she died. Oh, the tears wouldn't stop until I saw her move... I almost squeezed her to death
I have no idea, it all depends on the individual hen. Trust me, if she decides to go broody, YOU. WILL, KNOW. ? right @RebeccaBoyd ?Thank you! So a Buff Orp mixed with an EE? Nice!

Congrats Bob and LF! (Don’t feel too bad for dropping it. We all have our clumsy moments.
At least you got a pic first.)Yep, very different. Definitely don’t want to upset Queen Aurora.
She is definitely staring you down.Is this Aroura?!
I have a young roo with a crossbeak and he is perfectly healthy. He the lowest on the pecking order so we often feed him away from his dad so he gets his share. He will also be last to roost because he knows he can dine hassle free once his dad roosts.
