A Pecking Problem: Wound Care Tips for Your Brave Hen
Well, look at you, already spotting the trouble spots in your first flock. That's half the battle, honestly. A coyote bite that's not healing and is getting pecked at? That's a classic case of "fowl play" turning into a bigger headache. Two weeks is a while for a wound to still be open, even if she seemed fine after the initial scare. The limp disappearing is great, but that back wound is the real story here. Pecking at it just makes things worse, so you're right to be concerned. My advice? Get her to a vet who knows birds. That bite is likely deeper than it looks, and infections love to hide.
Why Your Feathered Friends Think You're the Perfect Roost
There's something genuinely delightful about a chicken who decides you're the best perch in the yard, and your flock has clearly elected you as their personal jungle gym. Those two roosters aren't just being cheeky; they're showing a level of trust that's honestly heartwarming. When a bird hops up and settles in for a rest, it's not about dominance or mischief, it's about comfort and connection. They see you as part of their safe space, which is both flattering and a little hilarious. It's like they've decided you're a sturdy, warm branch with snacks. For anyone who's ever wondered if their feathered friends actually like them, this is the cluck-tastic proof.
Harry's Revenge: The Tomato Heist That Ruffled Every Feather
Well, folks, we have a genuine fowl crime on our hands. Harry, the rooster in question, apparently decided that the only ripe tomato in the garden was his for the taking. According to the story, he was up on the porch crowing for treats, got nothing, and then went straight for the harvest. That's not just hunger, that's petty revenge with a side of spite. I can't help but laugh, though I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be plotting my own feathered friend's downfall in the same situation. Harry knows he's guilty, and honestly, the audacity is almost impressive. For anyone who's dealt with a crafty chicken, this is peak backyard poultry chaos.
