    Meyer delivery today!

    Good to know. I almost opted for the flock protector but decided against it because I'd rather spend extra to get a male from the breed I want, and it seems that was a good choice as Rhode island reds are near the top (if not at the top) of my breeds to avoid list, especially the males

    How to regulate egg laying

    Aside from eliminating light not much you can do. Do be careful with heat lamps though as all it takes is a stray feather getting in there to possibly start a coop fire. In the name of safety I would look at alternative means of keeping the water unfrozen (such as heated water bowls)

    Administering charcoal to wild duck

    Agreed, if it is bird flu nothing you do will help the bird and attempting to do something will only put yourself and your flock at risk. If it's not bird flu that is still something better left to the professionals as it's clearly an issue impacting the local population rather than just this...

    Favorite Chicken Breed?

    Another vote for easter egger! What's not to love? They go well in most flocks so it'd be worth it to have at least a few just because

    Stop buying chicken feed

    If I did, I'd have no birds left in short order due to hawks, owls, cars, dogs plus whatever other predator happens to be around. Not that I have enough quality forage to sustain them, especially in winter anyhow. I'll stick with commercial feed

    Chicken bully

    Sounds like normal pecking order stuff. Dominant birds will peck lower ranking birds. As long as it's not incessant and no one is getting hurt all is well. Extra feeders are still a good idea and that run is quite narrow so expanding will help and will enable you to add some clutter to break...

    Question of the Day - Tuesday, January 6th, 2026

    Depends, mostly wing it but I will use exact measurements in new recipes or ones I don't make very often. For most things where an exact amount doesn't matter that much I just eyeball it and it turns out fine

    Rooster Drama: Older rooster chasing young rooster out + Attack

    Keeping multiple game roosters in a flock is asking for trouble as they were bred for cockfighting. I agree with @Mrs. K, the only real solution here is going to be permanent separation and possibly rehoming(or culling) one or both birds. If they stay together this will go on until one or both...

    What made you happy today?

    I was well enough today to work a shift at work! They even just had me doing stocking rather than half on the register because my voice is still mostly gone (because that would have been fun for no one). I had to call out the last 3 days due to the flu

    Things you wish you could say

    Excuse me for having a job that requires a 4 week notice for time off requests, and I was lucky that they did give me time off for the period that you need me. What more do you even want?! This is clearly a you problem, I'm done

    Things you wish you could say

    If you have blackberry plants, chewing on or making a tea from the leaves also helps. Just make sure to not get any with spines
