Mix some liquid vitamins in a mash. It is possible that he is depressed and doesn't want to eat. Water and electrolytes are crucial even more than food though.Jaffar is weak, and his keel bone shows out. He has to be hungry, so why doesn’t he eat? Any suggestions to make him eat? Please
Think high calorie foods that he likes. I use corn when I can. Mine love it and it has tons of energy. The idea is to break the cycle and pump him up.Jaffar is weak, and his keel bone shows out. He has to be hungry, so why doesn’t he eat? Any suggestions to make him eat? Please
I would upgrade latches to carabiner based ones that the fox absolutely cannot open. Like these.
thats exactly what I upgraded to!
He really does!He does look good.
I LOVE IT!!Rehab the Prefab
Since last Friday I have been on a quest to rehabilitate the old prefab coop from 2013. I promised Mrs BY Bob that I would beautify the backyard this year. So I decided that it rotting away in front of the shed was unattractive. I thought that I could paint it in a day and be done.
Right
I finished the majority of the work last night. I did a quick assembly this morning before work.
I also decided that I wanted to make it pretty so if I use it then it will not "junk up" the backyard.
On Monday my dad was over and told me how insane I was to be wasting so much time on it. This was while i was using a small craft brush to paint the corners of the peach panels.
"Just paint the whole thing with the spray gun and be done. The chickens don't care."
Mrs BY Bob cares.
What do you all think?

There is still work to be done. The nest box is missing 2 bolts, has no floor and no roof. It needs a new coop floor and a new ramp.
Despite that I think I have saved it for a few more years. The run is in much worse shape and will need wood work to be made whole again.
