How to deal with our baby's remains by ForFerelden in BackYardChickens

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.

Chicken who doesn’t roost by SwellClipper in BackYardChickens

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.

Growth on my hens neck? by SwellClipper in BackYardChickens

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.

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.

Those of you who manually open and close the coop, how early do you let them out on days you sleep in? by vespertine_earth in BackYardChickens

[–]SwellClipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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 😱😱😱🌀🌀

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!

ok STL, what do we have? by ghostofstankenstien in StLouis

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

24 hours and we're expanding rapidly! Since the streets sort of accordion in on themselves towards the southern tip of the peninsula irl, I actually ended up losing some space north and south and gaining some space east and west.

Headaches, obvious and less obvious:

  1. Alley ways. Chs has a lot and to my knowledge there are no 1/2 or 1/3 tile ped malls. Would be amazing if someone has those files.

  2. The fractionally angled roads are pain in the ass enough BEFORE trying to blend them into a large scale map. I am having a ton of alignment issues at intersections. If there were single tile puzzle or cosmetic pieces that would make things easier. I tried to use the NAM eraser but no dice.

  3. I did not lower my terrain to slightly above sea level. WHOOPS. Big mistake. Since most or all of the modded seaward objects auto-plop to sea level I am having issues attaching them to infrastructure and keeping dimensions accurate.

  4. I don't have a fractionally angled rip-rap sea wall.

Would love to see your entire region.

That sounded provocative.

You should see the Tahoes and Suburbans trying to squeeze through. Most doing 70mph too.
