This time a leghorn pullet was hanging in the same spot in the netting. Not moving, I thought the worst, but she was alive. DH helped get her unstuck. I took that area of netting away. I think they wanted to get up in the tree, and got stuck coming down. She just had a couple abrasions, one...

They will eat any grape, any size. No cutting necessary.

I've never seen cats with such spots. Cute as ever!

Come up this way for cool, wet, green, or go see @Shetland lover

Wet sheets, another great idea for cooling them off.

2 of the leghorn pullets had roosted in the apple tree this evening, and did not look very comfortable. I was going to let them stay, but decided not to let them start the habit. Moved them to Onyx's coop, but one came back out. I closed them in so they couldn't go back in the tree. I revamped...

Surprised you didn't notice a smell before now.

Won't be a pile for long. They are such great tractors, aren't they? Piles of anything don't ever last long around them. Raking leaves is futile.

Looks like a fantastic supplement. UK has different products. Onyx laid an egg yesterday, and she is back to her old self. Mystery illness for sure.

Not sure. I have Rooster Booster. What ingredients are in the ones you have?

Yes, and yes. Got 'em bad! Hopefully this will solve the issue. Saw a few today, but they were out in the open, unlike before yesterday. I hope no one gets them. I wouldn't wish these on my worst enemy, no, maybe I would. 🕷🕷🕷

No, they weren't on her. Should I spray her and the rest if the hens as well? I only have red mites, thankfully not NFM.

Only one?

Oh, what a day! Decided enough is enough. Unscrewed the panels and windows off the coop and found a gazillion mites. :rantFirst I took my heat gun to them, then bought some permethrin to spray everything. Death to all mites!!!!! What the heat gun didn't fry, the spray.killed the ones in the wood...

Can't remember where you are located. Is she acting normal and eating otherwise? Hope she is not ill. How old is she?

No attempts at crowing yet, I suppose. What breed are these beauties?

Yesterday filled both feeders, which were empty. Changed our the shavings for the pullet coop, and did a branch cleanup in the run. The pullets did not need an adjustment period to work the treadle, and they are treat trained. So fun to see them stampeding through the fenced run to come to the...

I once found a small bird, dead and hanging in the netting. None since then.

So glad he is ok, and your doctoring got him there. What kind of netting is in your coop? So scary when we find our kids in distress. Velma from last year had gotten caught in netting that was hanging close to the ground, and sprained something in her leg. She hobbled/limped a little for a...

Yesterday while on the back deck talking to my friend I noticed one of my black pullets caught in the netting, and she was stuck mid air as if in a hammock. I rushed down, and DH helped me by cutting the netting away. She had abrasions on the underside of her wing, there was a little blood on a...
