She had been quiet for about a week before I found the fly strike during that week. I twice tried to aspirate and nothing...

    Missing feathers areund neck

    I didn’t think about molting. I’ve never seen her get picked on, but possibly on the roost at night, the D’uccles always try to almost bury them selves underneath the bigger birds on the roost for some reason. Maybe she is getting pecked at night. I’m not sure what I can do about that. The...

    Wrapping roost bars with hemp rope

    About half of my flock of16 have some stage of bumblefoot.I am familiar with the treatment but wonder if a roost wrap would do any good, making the bar softer. The culprit I’m sure is the soil….rocks,sea shell bits pine needles dirt and sand. They range in a half acre and spend the day...
