    Entry #4: Beautiful Hawk Looking for a Meal I think this is a Red-Shouldered but if anyone knows please do help me out. I only know how to identify the call. I spotted this beautiful hawk perched and watching nearby birds and squirrels and was glad I had my camera.

    Sudden Balance Issues/Cannot Stand in Hen

    Hi all here is the update on our little girl. So I had considered a sling, but I actually just walked with her and held her up lightly as we walked and did it a few times a day. I learned if I carried her with her facing me instead of away from me, she'd kick her legs a little and so we also did...

    Sudden Balance Issues/Cannot Stand in Hen

    Just wanted to update on how our hen is doing now. We changed food to be safe and finally the nutri-drench made it in after getting held up in shipping. She can now stand and somewhat walk but she walks sideways with her head held the opposite way and she still stumbles. If she is facing away...

    Sudden Balance Issues/Cannot Stand in Hen

    @MolMas not as of yet I must apologize. She is doing well and eating and drinking otherwise which is positive, though she needs help (I have to check on her very frequently and help her by offering her the water dish and food dish.)

    She's on 17 layer with scratch and sunflower seeds added, sorry for not updating that. I have ordered some nutri-drench that will come in as soon as possible since stores around here do not have any unfortunately. Her legs and feet are in good shape, no injuries or swelling. She hasn't been...

    Sudden Balance Issues/Cannot Stand in Hen

    Hello all, I hope maybe my thread will be descriptive enough to possibly point in the right direction of what may be happening. We have a little hen who is about to be 7 years old, bantam in size. No longer lays eggs for us but just a sweet and friendly pet. I noticed a few days ago she seemed...

    The Hummingbird Haven

    I wanted to stop by and say our first Ruby-throated of the year came today. @Blooie wherever you are I hope you are doing well today. I was thinking of how you told me about putting out the little red bandana and I swear it is always lucky!

    Goat Thread!

    @QuailQueen75 - thank you for your input! I did get chlorohexidine on it as soon as I could but I don't have much so when reapplying I will have to use the iodine solution. I did wonder if it was indeed the Boer in his lines that gave him the "roman nose" type appearance. He just had his second...
