Besides my 6 ducks I have about 70 chickens several types. And I am allowing them to mix and incubating ( one of my favorite things) I have two rabbits (expecting babies ) ,three dogs , two young Turkeys, Two goats (...

Hawks have become my enemy .. And worse I also have Bald eagles which I used to think were so Majestic now I Fear them !! Eagles are afraid of nothing !

I thought the pictures on my wall, rooster place mats hand towels .. 80 chickens running around my yard .. etc made me an addict but I will bow to this Tattoo Very cool !

having a slanted roof on your nesting boxes will discourage them from being used as roosts. I have mine double stacked and the hens adjusted quickly when I put them in. of course I still have an occasional one lay an egg on the floor...

Shes very pretty .. prob a cross but I wouldnt want to trade her if she was mine .: )

Are they cooped with a run full time or do they get to free range ? I intentionally underfeed my free range chickens a little so they will look harder for insects  .. Are they Mature or chicks ?  Mature Birds can eat a lot...

Hawks will react and flea from a human yelling .. AS I have done it countless times ! A large Hawk can grab a younger chick or a mature bantam and lift them right off .. One day while 6 of my grand kids were out making lots of noise 20...

until my chicks are 18 weeks I have fresh food and water available 24 -7 ..

I have always heard 4 square ft per Bird ..

though red sexlinks are nice too : )
