Look on KSL. Can't remember the lady's name but she has lots of chickens and I remember she had silkies, she has several breeds of different ages. She runs it as a business and it has a name (just can't think of it right now). Are you looking to eat, breed or eggs? I do know of lots of roos needing a good home (that won't eat them).

That sounds like a great plan!

I'm the rooster over my roo's too... if they even think about coming at me I go after them and yell about who really IS the boss and if they keep it up they won't be around. Good thing no one's around to see that!

I had a buff orp go broody and wasn't very nice when I tried to collect eggs. I started with a clean margarine cup and put over her head, then would pet her, collect eggs. After a bit I'd "peck her" with my finger if she tried to peck, then get above her head and rub her neck. Now I can just give her a little scratch, collect the eggs and tell her thanks. She goes on and off broody luckily.

The little black silky roo the young man asked about earlier may be coming here today. He tried hard to find him a good breeding home but there so many silky roos on KSL and this boy REALLY cares about his chickens. He got pecked while thanking a hen for her first egg and I won't tell the story because it's not mine but it could hv had a really bad ending (for him!)...yet he still loves his chickens. As I said before, our world would be so much better if there were more kids like him. Guess that's why I'm willing to take on a roo, help him out. (and after Betsy and all her crawlies I vowed off ever getting another adult chicken fm anyone)! He's a closed flock, first-timer so it should be good.

That being said, I'd take on crawlies again if it meant I could have Betsy back.

oh elkmtn i wish you could have betsy back too! i loved reading about her and i felt a loss when you lost her

so my rabbit is doing well. i had to buy a trash can last night so i can put my bale of shavings in because the rabbit decided it would be fun to rip the bale open and dig a tunnel under it. i love the rabbit and she is so sweet but she can be a pain at times.

Thank you.

Rabbits...digging...hmmm... can she dig out of your coop? Wonder if you got a bale of alfalfa or grass hay if she might try to dig in that instead.

ANY chance she's preggers? I can't remember if this is a baby or adult bunny? The only time I had rabbits wanting a hole (or dark spot) is if babies were pending. If she is an adult it's highly likely you may hv little bunnies on the way very soon, they make a nest about 48hrs prior to. Is she pulling out any fur? Can't recall if you've had rabbits before so forgive me if I'm telling you stuff you know. Keep an eye on her nails, they will need trimming/filing.

Yep, that's it!

Prisserbabe, if you can't find her on KSL, google - she has a website. GL!

A suggestion I've heard if a hen is bullying is to remove her just a few days (4 or more would work, I think) and then put her back with the rest of everyone. After that long, it's frequently like the chicken is a newcomer and gets put back at the bottom of the pecking order by the group. Less of a bully, then. Good luck with your Australorps!

Let us know what you figure out.

nope i do not thing she is pregnant well she better not be! i have had rabbits dig before and he was not pregnant. she is not pulling fur or anything, she just likes to dig holes at night i guess so every morning i fill them all in. she is an adult and yes i am watching her nails. she is so funny, she loves to lick and loves to lick my legs. i love her
