Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

My chickens love to find a mound of fire ants. Our rooster calls the girls over and they go into attack mode.

Can you bring your flock over?

I've never seen a golden eagle in person. Are they pretty?? The raptors we have are pretty. We have bald eagles, red tailed hawks, and a while bunch of falcons.

Yes, gorgeous!

By drops to the back of the neck on the skin. I don't know how much he weighs. I gave him four drops which is what I was advised by my sisters chicken vet.

Thank you! How concentrated is the ivermectin?

Our backyard is fenced but occasionally we'll let our older flock graze around the front of the house to keep the ants thinned out.

Yes, gorgeous!

I really want to see him.

This guy and his friend payed a visit today. my pic, but different red tailed hawk then the one I'm seeing.

Glad I kept the birds penned, that hawk was definitely wanting them today. He swooped down in our front yard so low that he came about three feet from the ground.

Beautiful. I love to see them, but not around my chickens.

Golden Eagles are rare to see around here, but once when I saw one swooping low by the reservoir, I swear its wingspan looked as wide as the minivan I was driving! I also saw one perched in s tree when we went river rafting, and very rarely I’d see one circling overhead when I lived way up the hill.

I think your lucky in that aspect. Red tailed aren't rare here but they are beautiful.

Never a probelm show a few birds they teach everyone else .. Even the banty coop uses them. No dirty water.

I have a bucket with nipples. It took less than a minute for me to teach one and she taught the others.
When I integrated the Roadrunners I was worried they wouldn’t learn and I would have to teach one of them but they took to it immediately by watching the big girls.
That said, they all prefer a muddy puddle if available.
I use it inside the coop to avoid spills but outside I provide other options.

Ok, thanks. I was also thinking of using those inside to stop the mess. If they get used to it I may use it outside to keep small birds out.
