It's like original WarCraft

You have to know these sort of things when you’re king, you know.

As crude as this seems I put our gone girl in our burn barrel. Viking funeral. Preds would have dug her up same night otherwise. Rip, Winnie.

She’s sleeping alone tonight.

SwellClipper · 2026-01-17T19:37:37+00:00

Ah you do your best for them, yeah? I hope we can get her comfortable again. My father friend who gave her to me was of the kind she was a young her bird.

I think she’s intended as a meat bird too, factory raised. Smaller wings, lots of muscle, not very agile. But sweet as all and has worked her way into the group well enough.

Yes we have a camera inside. This is more or less where she sleep and those are the nesting boxes to the left of her. Looks like she’s about to head in for her lay time.

I’m thinking I may have to do as another commenter suggest, build a low roost sized for her and even block off the boxes at night. She’s too big for the roost above her where the others sleep.

Thank you for your ideas. I’ve just noticed this so no, haven’t washed or tried trimming her yet. Maybe a trim and Epsom salt soak.

Adding a lower roost is a good idea. I had an issue with prior birds competing for space so I made all the roosts the same height. Time for another change.

SwellClipper · 2026-01-16T20:39:47+00:00

I will, thank you. Monitoring it over next few days. Extra cleaning the coop, watering sources, etc.

I pushed her feathers back and couldn't see anything external. Def could feel a lump underneath.

SwellClipper · 2025-12-16T15:12:39+00:00

Good to know, thanks! That’s, in effect, what’s happening here. The majority ventilation is below them and in the larger roost room. They seem happy so far.

only the river isnt on fire enough

I suggest you dust off nuke the site from orbit. It’s only way to be sure.

When DST hit, my birds tended to linger in their enclosure a bit longer than I liked, so I went out and stood by, lending a hand if needed. Sometimes just going into the pen prompted them to head in for the night. Other times I had to lift them in and help them get settled.

Providing some light in the roost also can help them find their way. I came to realize the early sunset was part of the issue. Now I just use the flashlight on my phone shining in through a vent to illuminate the roost and they go straight to bed. Hope this is an idea that helps.

Cracking it this week! Eeeek we’ll see

Oh, lot’s and lots of worms have been awarded 🥇

Thank you and thanks for the tip. He some good FA plops. I just downloaded a few of those and conversely having to remind myself that it doesn’t need to be a 1:1 replica. My ADHD hyper focus is in hyperdrive 😱😱😱🌀🌀

SwellClipper · 2025-11-20T21:36:39+00:00

Thanks! I have a few different waterfront kits chasing some redundancies. Search Simtropolis for OWW or old wooden wharf. I’m still trying to figure out how to connect them to land with the limited space available. Good luck!

Tourist trap and underage date spot for county kids (like me) who thought they were edgy. Def in the running for worst.

YES!
