Rinnes trap flip and slide. I fight mice year round. No I don’t have a cat as a mouser simply because it’s gross and dangerous as to what disease that cat could pick up. The bucket trap works well. You can catch many mice at one time without having to reset. You can live catch and release...

Hello I literally watch my Orpington get attacked by Red tail hawk in front of me a few years back. I scooped her up and sat in a dark closet with her wrapped in a towel for about an hour after that I put her in a dog covered. Her head was out stretched ahead of her body. She would not pick...

Hi Sounds like well cared for chickens! Appears a lot of effort has went into to making them content and happy.I would love to have a grassy grazing area but my chicken house is 10x26 with a solid shingled roof (matches our house) so it doesn’t get enough sun to grow anything. Yes we have an...

Thanks for the support!

Thanks!

Well….sorry for delaying photos but my hen made me into a liar. I have tried to get before and after photos but all I get is BEFORE. Comb is staying normal red tone. Puzzling but good. Thanks for everyone’s input it really helps. Appears fellow chicken owners are the good resource when for...

No squishy belly. I lost a Maggie to ascites about 8 months ago so I familiar with symptoms. Maggie walked likes cowboy from her belly being full. Millie is currently exhibiting only the comb discoloration. Could be early symptom of ascites unfortunately I know I can’t fix it☹️. I will post...

I have a 6 year old Orpington hen. She still lays eggs. I noticed when she is let out to free range (spring 2024)her comb turns bluish red once she has been moving around a lot. Once she’s back in the hen house for a short time (maybe 15 minutes) it looks normal color (rosy red). I lost an...
