I am happy for you. I am glad you are not losing your birds.

Me too! Chickens are just not that expensive to feed, especially if they can free range. Congratulations on at least keep some. I also thought that 3Rranch was going to really take good care of his chickens. I talked to him yesterday and I know that he has a very balanced view of his flock. I am happy that he found what he was looking for at your home. I am still sorry that you had to downsize your flock.

I'm trying to not get to down about the entire situation. So I am looking at it as a closing to one chapter and an opening to another. As for the chickens. I am comfortable with my choice to send my fav hen home with R3ranch. I'm sure she will make a nice addition to his little flock. She is the nicest of the three adults when it comes to the younger pullets.

And if all goes well, I may have the White Wyandottes placed as well. Thanks Chickielady!

So that means I have done what my husband has asked, and lowered my numbers by three.

I do agree, chickens are not that expensive to feed. But in two years of owning them, "more like being owned by them!" this is the first time I personally have not been able to afford to purchase feed for my flock. Its kinda heart braking and sad for me... But I'm looking at it from the bright side. The girls I am re-homing, are going to great homes! Plus I get to keep my little flock of 5.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You just barely saved her !

TG she is alive !

You have to get some net up over the girls until that eagle learns to eat elsewhere, or it will keep coming back !

They're back in the run. They were free ranging. They won't be doing that again for a while. I had no idea Roz was still alive when I ran at the eagle. I just didn't want that bird to think the pickings were easy in my yard or for sure he'd be back. Now, he knows to watch out for the crazy lady in the pink bathrobe.

That is good news. Half a flock is better than none.

This is Roz the resilient in her temporary home in the wine closet:

This is what her back looks like:

Just keep her seperate if you can, keep the wound clean and dry, up on her back it should be fine as long as no other birds are about and able to peck her.
Debride if you see ooziness, and apparent tissues hanging with no blood source or the tissues can become gangrenous,...and maybe apply a half and half douch of water/hydrogen peroxide once...no more as it is drying on the tissues.
Think a life size scarecrow of YOU in the bathrobe will keep the eagle away ?

I have not been home to show Tyson the fake Roo...I will have to try and do it tomorow. I do think though that Tyson "hit" hubby in the back of the leg tonight...so he is going to have to have some anger management classes if that continues. I may be asking for advice if he did, infact, hit hubby.

Sorry, I had forgotten you had lived in Tonasket. Our well is around 200 ft deep, we are not in an alkylye (no idea how to spell) area...our water is great, and cold and lots of it. We only live 1.5 miles from town on 3 acres. Makes it nice for getting teenagers back and forth from functions/sports, etc. But you are right, alkyline water lakes are stinky and weird feeling. Ever been to Omak lake? Or in the Lime Belt?
