I am trying to be more optimistic. My three hens have plenty of room but the mean bird will run 15-20 feet just to peck at Baby. Baby will just be minding her own business, sitting there chatting with me and then get attacked for no reason. The only thing I know to do is try removing the mean...

Last summer I had, what was once a friendly hen, Myrtle, viciously attacked another hen, Baby, in the flock. Myrtle had twisted neck months prior to the attack. She was separated for several days until she recovered. When I placed her back with the flock she moved up in the pecking order...

Thank you for your kind words.

I lost a piece of my heart yesterday. One of my hens passed away. Cinnamon was a 6-1/2 year old Golden Laced Wyandotte that I raised from a day old chick. She provided some rich, healthy, warm eggs and countless hours of entertainment and affection. Cinnamon had a good life and, perhaps most...

I ordered Avia Charge 2000 online but until then I have been administering 3 drops a day of Poly-vi-sol without iron. Plus I've been feeding tuna, scrambled eggs, yogurt and applesauce which is what I add the vitamins to. Shortly after starting her on the vitamins she had runny stool, but...

Does anyone else have any ideas of what this could be? I haven't seen her eat or drink today. I'm going to offer her some scrambled eggs here pretty soon.

Thank you.

Yesterday afternoon I noticed my hen kept falling to the left. She would try and balance herself with her left wing. It didn't stop her from pecking at some seed on the ground though. I picked her up to inspect her and she turned her head to the left. I removed her from the rest of the flock...

There are photos online now at Coop of Dreams. Below are a few photos of coops from last year that I asn't able to make it to this year. Below is a photo of my coop...the design will be soon be published in an up and coming book. I'll post details when I know more.

Your colored eggs turned out fantastic! I tried coloring brown eggs last year with regular food coloring and vinegar but it didn't cover very well. Next year I will try it your way for sure. One question though, did the coloring stay on the egg after you refrigerated it, or did it get wet and...

How terrible. My heart goes out to you. Sending a BiG your way.

Quote: ============== I will do more research instead of adopting another bunny right away. I believe Choco is neutered, but I'm just going by what the previous owner told me. I will sex him now that's he's becoming more familiar with me I really appreciated the advice. I haven't had...

Quote: ============= Thanks for the links. The photos are great. We just purchased 3 sets of the storage cubes, wire ties and some plastic tubing to cover the electric cords. This little guy is going to be living large

Toast'n Jelly : Looks like a lionhead attempt and what a cutie! Hay should be available all the time for bunnies and go easy on treats as whatever converts to sugar is really not good for their immune system. When you let him out of his cage be aware that he MAY chew any and everything that he...
