"Yes - all the feathers totally grew back in. Bruna was easily over 50% bald at one point. Then they started to grow back and the stubs were whitish and I thought it was a mould of some sort! Hehheee. - Laura"

I can't comment on the product you are considering, but I also had chickens cut and pull their feathers off. It looked awful I actually thought Bruna was dying. There were broken feather stems on the floor of the coop and sorry stubs…"

- Hello!
Since you have indicated Hastings-Sunrise as your neighbourhood location, I thought I would let you know that we are in the embryonic stages of creating a Hastings-Sunrise village and have set up a Village Group here at Village Vancouver to facilitate that process.
I am aware that there are lots of neighbourhood groups and activities already in place in Hastings Sunrise and hope that in some way a Hastings-Sunrise Village can help to provide some networking between groups rather than competing as another entity, but also can carry out activities that might be of interest to the other groups as well. Really, it's wide open as to what we do as a village entity... but we need participation to determine what that will be!
Please go over to the Groups page and go to the second page - there you will find Hastings Sunrise Village and can join up and participate in the discussion - and also feel free to post Hastings-Sunrise activities and events there for others to see.
