This borb is an orb

Thank you for the update! I'm so glad it turned out ok for you <3

absolutely sublime 🥲

This post came at the perfect time for me... thank you! My four spare pricks turned four months old yesterday and we are trying to decide what to do with them, who to potentially keep and who to process. No one has crowed yet, probably because of our very intimidating dominant rooster, Johnny...

If you ever need access to a scientific paper, you can go to scihub and copy paste the URL there =) https://sci-hub.hkvisa.net/10.1093/jee/tow146 I use it all the time... information should be free! Also my condolences, Perris. I hope you have a miracle and he turns up. Big hugs 😢

Yay! I hope all goes well with the flat =)

Both of my roosters only have one sickle feather remaining as well... they look pretty dreadful right now, bless them. Hope you're feeling a wee bit better!

Our late-season broody, Beatrix, hatched her chicks over the weekend! They were running around the coop yesterday morning, but I didn't get a chance at a proper picture until today. There were 11 original eggs under her (a juggler's dozen we called it). All of the eggs were random back yard...

I have no experience with sulfur, but just wanted to chime in with what I did experience lately just in case the sulfur doesn't work for you. I used a powder product containing Eucalyptus Citriodora on my pretty heavily infested chickens and it seemed to have worked...

I'm so pleased to hear that! I have such a soft spot for injured roosters after rehabbing my William and witnessing him be excluded from the flock. He is slowly rejoining now, too. I spotted him sharing the yard with Johnny again instead of crying in the driveway all day. He doesn't even try...

I thought the same when I first saw the photo! It looked like she was sitting in a very clear, still pond and her flumffs were a reflection

I put some wood ash and DE in mine as well, but I hesitate to mention it sometimes on this site because it is a rather contentious issue! I hope you figure out how to help the poor lad... my best wishes for his improved recovery!

If you decide to have him stay under the trampoline for a bit longer, it might be worth making a dust bath for him. I made one using a big wide shallow plastic crate when I had to treat my flock for lice and keep a group of them confined to a run while I completed treatment of the rest of the...

I love this picture!!! They are perfect yin and yang opposites in colouring. Just wonderful <3

22C is a veritable heatwave up here in Scotland. We have had 24C today and are absolutely sweating. I had to shelter in the shade multiple times today as I adjusted the coop for our growing adolescent chickens. In tangentially-related news, our black chicken, Beatrix, has been broody for a...

That recipe looks delicious!

Hi BYC! I want to post a recommendation for a pest powder that I recently used for a lice infestations and was very happy with. https://www.flytesofancy.co.uk/products/battles-poultry-red-mite-powder-500g Since permethrin isn't approved for use directly on birds here in the UK, I tried this...

What age and breed are they?

This handsome fellow =) According to the woman who gave him to us, he is half purebred Shetland chicken. His crest (or tappit, as they say here in Scotland) is hilariously stylish. He fathered Johnny Cashew, the other rooster in the previous post. He also had a bunch of babies with a...

Mine are the same. Eating, drinking, and sorting out politics in the morning. Napping, bathing, preening, laying eggs in the middle hours of the day. More eating and squabbling in the evening. Just like humans, my older chickens eat and then put themselves to bed early, sometimes a couple...
