Official Squatch Watchers

I'm so sorry Smuvs! That must be awful!

I just went out to see the chickens for the first time. Dove definitely has frostbite, and it's not looking good. I got some coconut oil, but now I'm faced with a predicament: How the heck do I get it on her? She kept on dodging her head around. She was too busy trying to eat the coconut oil to let me put it on her.

I have still put coconut oil on the combs of my boys. Very gingerly let it melt over their poor heads. They are all greasy but I swear it's helping.
I also let them eat a little blob. Some of the kids seem to like it. Mmm coconutty.

So sorry Smuv! I too wondered about the burried one. Also with the insides eaten first...makes me think coyote. I would think they would make a fairly large hole but I've read they can climb and jump fencing. May be time to set up a hot wire perimeter.

I have a suggestion, please forgive I don't want to sound insensitive. What if you set up a temporary video camera, or use a baby monitor. Please don't be angry, just a suggestion

Well chow time, what's for chow?Better go find out, well my kitchen is still standing. Smurvers hugs sorry once again, chat with you, & the rest later

Coconut oil's not going to do much good now, and rubbing things on frostbit flesh is painful and injures it further, unfortunately.

Hi you fine folk. Would you mind if I join the craziness?

Enter if you dare!!!
Just jump on in!

There was a guy on BYC that had a camera in his coop! (A Nest brand lol) I would love to do that. It would be great for remote viewing if there is a strange noise at night or just chicken tv all day long.

I am real sorry Smuvs.

So, Yeti (white bantam cochin 14 weeks old) starts giving off a warning call. Whitey and Smokey (2- 14 wk old Silkies) chime in too!!! I finally had to shut that noise down. You think those 2 Silkies may be boys???? Yeah, I know, hard to tell, wait until 6 months, blah, blah, blah. Don’t tell me that.

I want to do that too!!! Our wifi doesn’t go that far and I use an extension cord, when necessary, for electricity. If I saw someone getting picked on it would kill me not to do anything!!!
There is one for dogs and you can pop a treat to them.

It’s sort of a two person operation ruby. Get that little sib to help you.
