This one was made in the last summer I usually put some fruit, vegetabels, some scratch, water all in a paper cup and freeze it.

Great idea! Is that a Benny original?

Help...what's up with this pullet's eye???

Open mouth and check choanal slit for pus or foreign body like foxtail. Any discharge from nostril? Also look very closely where that pus is accumulating. If there is more hidden , you'll need to "milk" it out.

I found a rooster with a nasty infected eye, but no other signs of respiratory infection, so I removed the pus as best as I could and set him free. Several days later the pus was back, so I did it again, but this time I was more aggressive and manged to get this out of his choanal slit:



I'm not saying that your pullet has something stuck in there, just want to let you know that not all eye pus/swellings are from respiratory infections.

Soliciting suggestions:

What could I use, that's pliable, to fasten to the hinge side of the top of an exterior nest box & up the side of the coop, to keep the weather out?

Thought about inner tube, but I don't have any, & it seems wasteful to buy a new one just to cut it up.

I'd vote for some type of a rubber product. It's not wasteful if you're using the product you just bought........even if it's not for it's intended purpose.

As far as I know!
I made my research in a zoological center, and I saw the animal keepers make in summer this giant popcicle in huge buckets, for the bears to ease for them the heat, I never saw that in birds.

Tomorow will be extremly hot here, 36C almost 100F, so it is time for electrolytes and Chickensicle!

The birds must love that!

No, I guess it wouldn't be, at that.
It'd have to be a tube for a car or truck tire, though; bike tube wouldn't be wide enough.

What kind of strawberries do you plant?

Strawberry variety is pretty well dictated by climate.
I have Honeoye, Chandler, Ozark Beauty and Sparkle.
There are some that I may have preferred but these will do OK here and the others I wanted weren't available when I ordered.

EPDM rubber.
I keep a big roll and use it for roofing and anything that needs a waterproof flexible cover.
You can get it any size from roofing and pond liner companies.
You don't need to go with the 60mil. 45 mil is sufficient. My house is roofed with the same material.
