Entry 2 The multifunctional garden island I just built these few days. It was originally designed as a raised bed (full sunlight), but eventually, it accommodates strawberries (easier to manage when planting at a certain height), and salad greens at the lower deck on the side can't be seen in...

Entry 1

The hen already recovered after resting one full day inside the house, and all exposed tissues are back to where they should be now.

Thanks for the reply, she already laid the egg and the prolapse looks better now. I grind the one calcium tablet (1500.0 mg Calcium carbonate 600.0 mg Calcium Ion) and mixed it in her food.

Hi all, This morning, I found one of our hens had a prolapse issue. I already handled it according to the procedure and let her stay in a dark sick bay for rest, after cleaning the vent area. The question is, when I tried to push the tissue back into her body, I can feel there is an egg that...

Harvested a lot of goodies for the farmer's market tomorrow~

Harvesting and sharing with neighbors

I did some cleaning work in my FIL's garden in the morning, so the only thing I want to do in the afternoon is to play with chickens and dogs in our own garden. I made a short but funny video. :D

The planting in my watermelon hoop tunnel is almost done, and I relocate my four solar lights from the raised beds to this tunnel. Wow, it looks lovely!

For the record, I built an outdoor pen for my quails. When I brought them back, most of them had already started laying. They have their tunnels, rest area covered with fresh spruce, sandbath area, and daily changed water and food. They are happy with the environment; however, I saw their eggs...

Enjoy tulips and eggs :D

sorry for your loss :hit

Foraging for the chickens :D Hens: Oooohhhh Our Daily Salad!!!

pinless peepers+1 Another option that came to my mind is to put the aggressor into jail for a few days instead of the injured one (but ensure her wound is dried, no longer bleeding)? So the aggressor will be at the bottom of the pecking order when she returns.

As the virus can be killed with heat, do you think blanching is practical? I mean, after collecting weeds, quickly blanch and then offer them to the chickens when the weeds are cooled down.

The watermelon tunnel starts functioning. Herbs are in, young hedge (box) plants are on board, and I will add two grapes tomorrow. Besides the sweet peas, new residents moved in today included: salad greens, onion, and parsley. Potatoes, zucchinis, pumpkins, and cucumbers stay there for...

It's springtime again. While cleaning up different corners in the garden, I also cut and chop safe weeds for chickens as a seasonal supplement. Different weeds grow happily in different locations, so it has become my new daily routine to collect one bucket of mixed weeds for them. I used an...

The cut flower season starts.

Finally, the hens start earning their own living. :lau When I cleaned up the homegrown vegetables, they always got their share. An empty tower is, in fact, a pretty lovely feeder :P Everyone gets her own battle position.
