32602 Poultry Talk Ontario! just upload your pics here and skip all the image hosting sites!!! I never liked them much and therefore I've never used them so I really cant comment on them much. Hmm... It's not the Insert image icon because that inserts a link to an image. It's not a URL. OK... I giv...

Just spent the last 30-45 minutes on my Photobucket account and it would not let me copy the image link for me to post. Plus it was getting jumpy.
Can anyone recommend reliable image hosting site?
Thanks.

They have to go in further and walk by the roost to lay eggs in the nesting boxes. 3. I clean the coop regularly. But since they had bumblefoot, I put in more bedding (not quite to...

Does anyone have experience with hens huddling by the coop door when they go in at night? Our Black Sex-Links really crowd by the door, still at least 1 (we are making progress) sitting out almost onto the ramp. Only 1 or 2 use the perch.
