After one of my lavender Orpingtons impalled her foot on a piece of straw, I only use Fine Pine from TSC. Works so much better than larger chips, less bark and dust in the mix. After a week, they were happy because it is so soft. Over time, it breaks down into dirt in their yard, thus...

OH MY! What a tragic event! 😣😪 I wish your family all the best!

😿 Hope things are better! Just wondering if you ever heard back on the reason?

I had a lavender Orpington from a major breeder that was never ‘quite right’. Would hold her head funny, as if she couldn’t lift it. Would stand in a stupor at times etc. She became lethargic and holding her head funny for longer durations/episodes. She passed at 2 years old! Mareks! Shocked me...

My experience with hay: I had used it a couple of years as a filler and to enrich their run (girls loved to scratch around in it), until I noticed mold really grew quite easily in it. The hollow tubes were black with mold and being stepped on! No telling how many spores were being released and...

Were they OK?

It works wonders during their molt! Their feathers are so soft and colorful!

My Girls got oatmeal with salmon and peaches! They love salmon! 🎣

I've had 2 bobcats this year. One, a VERY large, medium/large dog-size impressive cat at about 1600, late afternoon. He was not afraid of both of us coming outside 500 yrds away, slamming the screen door and yelling. The shot of the gun to scare it off did work though! The 2nd was the size of a...

Hi! Just to clarify, their Coup is an 8 x 10 solid wood shed. Originally, no coup door with the plastic fence top. Also, I did not realize until later what the result would be with THAT MUCH FOOD outside our 2'nd story deck. The wildlife had that for 8 years consistently, and I was oblivious...

Ahhhh 5 years! How time flies (chicken pun intended)! 😸 On our 2nd flock, after our 1st flock was inherited with the property and unfortunately failed. I say failed because it was probably a semi-adequate set-up for their situation, however, they had 8 children and dumped a LOT of leftovers and...

I'm definitely late, but have been so busy trying to squeeze in outside work with all the rain we've had this summer... but want to say HI, and after living here in Cleveland, TN (SE side) for 5 years, we LOVE it!

Hello all and thank you for your replies! It has taken awhile to post back, but have had a lot of activity, almost all good. The flock is easily bored and relishes our walks. Only had 1 run-in with a medium black-ish hawk, the Red-tailed, and 1 buzzard that couldn't take a hint. By you...

Looking forward to pics. Have a bantam that is just begging for a diaper-type saddle. She wants to come inside, go for rides, and visit grandhen but her poopie is a problem.

I've tried other Omega-3 enrichments and natural herbs, but nothing beats the color and taste that the Mannapro Omega Eggmaker does! My family and neighbors talk about how we have the best tasting eggs! https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/manna-pro-omega-eggmaker-5-lb

I do think, upon your pictures, it is a red-tailed hawk. Thank you!!!!! Also, I've built them a place under our deck. I am teaching them to ring a bell if something is wrong. (My 12 year old cat learned in a year of walking on the back deck if something is wrong with the Fould Fowl to meow. This...

I took Sourland's words and keep my flock close to heart. I keep a lighted umbrella (from the movie Blade Runner) and it works WONDERS!!!! Once I kept my girls used to me using an umbrella, especially with lights, they will stick with me and follow me wherever and NO HAWKS, FALCONS, and...

Hello all! I’ve had a Perigrine Falcon dive-bomb me and my small flock 4 years ago. Thought it was amazing because they are so rare in Tennessee! Then this tried on my girls inside their home! Was mad it could not get through fencing and voiced it for a long while from a tree. Upset my girls for...
