Kids do you mean chickens? Lol all we have for children so far are the animals and a bunch of spoiled rotten brats they are too. Lol I believe the bumble foot could be from a few different things but mostly I believe the culprits are some overly exuberant armorous cockerals packaging the...

Hi everyone sorry I've been absent so long. Life is crazy. My Grandpa's Alzheimer's is getting worse it will be a year in December since he's been moved to the facility but they're having trouble dealing with him when he sundowns. Which is causing much stress and worry since they're supposed...

DH2B and I have been joking about the idea of bbqing the fox that has taken nearly a dozen of our flock since he stole our lf slw roo who was heading for the freezer and robbed us if trying our first bird. But I rather like the idea of feeding it to the flock instead lol Oh no problem, Dear...

What you've been told is correct so far as I know. Every bird of prey species in the US is federally protected. I usually check every day but I do have one evil little girls that likes to go broody that I only check every third or fourth day BC she's so mean and nuts when broody the other...

Okay so here's my questions. What's up? What did I miss? Did runt lose more birds? Did he get corid? Is that purple duck real or dyed? Where can I get one? We picked up 64 hatching eggs from a new friend on Saturday and set them last night. So worth the hour drive there and back. We had a...

These are awesome! But what is boss? Also I bet these don't keep very well do they? Sending hugs and prayers your way it's so hard losing them I hope you figure it out and can rebuild your flock. @Gloryjasmine Oh Hunny sending love and prayers your way. I've no ideas but I hope you figure it...

Oh goodness I totally missed that. Thanks Kathy. Idk where my brain was guess I shouldn't get on here before finishing my coffee. Lol Also praying. I've known hunters that do and will/have. Not to be frank or offend anyone but I find it hard to respect anyone who has so little respect for...

Again thank you all for your help and sympathy. The corid is the liquid and I have been doing two teaspoons per gallon. From what I have found this is correct yes? If there is a chart like the one that was posted for the liquid I would greatly appreciate it. I always want to double check my...

Hey all thank you for the support. I really need it. We lost the first chick about 5 pm and at 9:45 PM the second breathed it's last in DH2B's hand. It also pooped as isn't uncommon in death but the stool was bloody and I take that as confirmation. The water is being treated and o have been...

So my darned phone lost it all. Okay take two.. It's been crazy busy around here and super stressful sorry it's been so long everyone. The fox showed up again night before last night. (This is now last Thursday night) While DH2B went for the gun(which for the first time in three weeks...

Hey all sorry it has been so long been a crazy busy time with lots of stress and just about everything that can go wrong has... *Knock* on wood. So here's a paste from another thread to get the story started... Sorry about the book.

Okay ladies and gentlemen Wednesday night was lockdown and tonight will start day 21 little chickie number one is out(EE) our EE mixes always jump the gun a bit. Six or so more pips. One DIS found already looked like it quit shortly after lockdown. Had a greenish tinge to the yolk sac in a few...

So jealous! I would love to have that mix of eggs coming to me. All I need to know is how to do it please? I really really wanna do this! :) How do you like your campine? I have been thinking about them and been interested in the for a while as we have no white layers. We got some brown...

Thank you all for your support and your help. Keep it coming! I have no idea where to find the information I need about eye shine and what predators are even around me. Anyone think the DNR would be any help? Normally I prefer to leave nature alone but if this animal ran off with our largest...

Tonight was a bad night. We lost our flock master and only large fowl rooster, Twitch, to a predator tonight around 10 pm. We live in South central WI and if anyone has any suggestions as to what it sounds like I would greatly appreciate it. What I know. Our flock was out late tonight BC DH2B...

Lol you would think but they have catching up to do anyway and the humidity is not going down BC why would it cooperate? Lol perhaps it's going to rain again in the next couple of days or maybe it's BC of the cool weather that is hanging out with us right now.

Ouch I have had 2nd degree sunburn with blisters and scabs before it was really 3rd degree in some places. Talk about miserable. They make an aloe with I think its lidocaine in it that is called ice or something it's wonderful and better if you keep it refridgerated. I am definitely more of a...

I agree it could have been a stroke regardless she needs to go to the hospital immediately for any loss of consciousness. It's not as though she tripped and fell just fell it could also be a concussion from the fall take her now.

@LocalYokel Thanks for all of your help I have bookmarked the info on emergency and supportive care and will continue to use the information therein. I take your "broody" comment to mean that you think Lovey is just going broody? She may be a bit thinner but I don't understand since she ate like...

Lol wow on this thread we don't half way do anything lol Been busy today despite all of our precautions some of our birds did indeed get some frost bite but with temps below zero and wind chills down to -20 to -30 I'm thinking it may now be because of us? Correct me if I'm wrong. The "cooler"...
