That has to do with your feed then.... I get that when I use the Runnings or Fleet Farm bagged feed. Runny crap is no fun with show birds. I use a ration from my local mill and add in either the Nut and Berry wild birds mix or a bag of pigeon feed. It firms up the stools.

Runny poop is just not good any time IMO, what is it in the wild bird mix or pigeon feed that firms up the poos ?

My cochins get poopy butts but only because they have such fluff

Morning . WW surgery got cancelled due to her having a skin infection . Probably staph . I slept much better . Knee feels good so does neck and shoulder . I took laptop with me yesterday . Probably made the geek squad guy's day . He was not very helpful so since I had no charm left after a poor nights sleep I put the pressure on . No they will not print off instructions . No apple does not print paper instructions . So I said what you going to import pictures every time I need it done ? So he says Barns and Noble sells a book on how to use the Mac book . Finally something useful from this guy . So across the mimi mall to buy the book . Really not impressed with this . It is like buying a appliance without a power cord . On a plus I do not need add blocker on this site as apple does not use windows . No malware protection to buy . I bought the extended protection where they fix everything . No more green screen on Facebook .So windows being slow to load seems to have been my problem . I bought because the local repair guy said I solved all my problems and bought Apple .

I don't do apple, to expensive. You have to pay for every little thing

You guys and your Apple Products.....Craziness.....Go PC and Samsumng all the way! Signed, PC Lover (And that is not Chicken Lingo for Partridge Chantecler

Yep, me too!

Update on "Baby". Still a brat. When I come into my room she comes jumping over her 8inch high brooder and is waiting to greet me. When she is ready to warm up she runs over there and waits for me to pick her back up and put her in. Then when she is ready to come see me again she just hops out. She is also addicted to Netflix on our Kindles. She will sit in front on the kindle and just watch it none stop... Winder when she will realize she's a chicken... What's she gonna think when she goes to the big coop...

so cute! Little thing needs some friends, you getting friends this weekend? What will she think of that!

I have heard that once figured out - those that have a MAC never go back. Then the coordination of all APPLE in the household works real well. My son and his family is APPLE all the way. Its a big transition.

Yikes, very expensive...also, businesses use pcs, best to know how to use them. Mac is not used in the work place.

Morning peeps!

I saw Carharts on sale at ff the other day for 62 and some change, but only the red ones(different style). I may go look again today. Not real keen on the red though..

BC and lvie. Does this model cover your butt? Or leave it in the breeze...

Jerry and destiny, your birds are beautiful!

I give wild bird food as a treat, firm poo as well, photos from this morning.





I buy expensive feed though, trying to find one they don't waste too much though is hard.

Hahaha! I uploaded pictures of Poo.

Good Morning...


I have decided to start a protest movement.

I will be occupying the National weather Service building until they change the forecast back to the way they had it.

They cannot do this to me, I was expecting 37 degrees today, I looked at the new forecast and it does not get above freezing al day, someone has to pay for this! Heads must roll!

@Cluckies I am using a game bird breeder for all my birds right now. It is the stuff I get at Marties. FAMO brand and not theirs. It is expensive $14 a bag, but it is 22% protein I think, higher than the chicken feed I know.

It is a pellet and not crumbles or mash. With those feeders I made I get almost Zero waste from the chickens. The turkeys waste it but not the chickens. I think it is costing me less even with the extra I pay for it. The bags seem to last a long time.

Even with that rain/snow stuff we got the other day I only had to drop a cup or so on the ground to get past the compacted mushy stuff. They ate it off the ground. My Prima Dona's never do that, they refuse to eat off the ground.

I am thinking of drilling a couple small holes in the bottom of the feeder to see if the rain would run through it. I doubt it will work..
