Chicken green salad with boiled eggs...

I have to agree..weasel or mink will show no indication of blood or bites or anything. I had 3 guineas and got into a pair of guineas next and ate 14 out of 18 eggs. This happened all in one night...It could have been more than one mink. But we did trap a mink the next night. Thank goodness...

SOOO sorry...that is devastating! I hate to say it but a mink or weasel will do such a thing. And they can get into the smallest places and climb most anything. I had 3 killed by a mink last year and it look like it just fell over dead.

Good Morning all you "fowl" friends. We made it through snow and blizzard. Most of all of South Dakota roads and interstates were closed. Mail hasnt run since Monday and havent seen a living soul for a week. Got the snow mostly moved, best we could: now we are in for "wind chill" blast...

That's sad... there are raccoons, hawks and owls that leave just feathers. Yes, owls in the day light, especially durning a dark gloomy day. As was sad previously, chickens are easy prey and whatever was there, WILL come back. When I lived in Washington State, I had Bobcats, getting into our...

My pups come in with me while feeding chickens and check out the hen house and barn for critters... I have another hen house as well. This is the bigger one. If it wasn't for Buddy and Lucy I would have given up on chickens. The best pups ever!

They are amazing dogs. I was out in the 12in. snow yesterday with winds ripping...one was in front of me and the other behind. The wouldn't leave me. In fact the one behind was so close I was nipping him with my boots when I walked and the one in front, I would steady myself in the snow. And...

Believe it or not, I got Buddy in Mississippi! And there are a lot of these guys in Texas. They do get hot, and my dogs come in the house in the summer and stay on the cool floor in the kitchen. But they do pop to life at night to do what they do best. BARK and run every living thing off. We...

Thank you! I do find this interesting. I plan on expanding my egg production since it looks like eggs are in big demand right now. Just waiting for it to warm a little before order more.

I have to agree with others, the 20% is fine, though 16% is the minimum. If you have a lot of chickens in the future and want to save a little money, buy the 16% and add oyster shell to the mix. After the age of 1yr old, it would be good for them.

My name is Candy and have been into chickens for over 30 yrs. But there is always something new to learn. I have over 100 layers, 4 roosters a few turkeys and only one Guinea Cock left.. I have had some bad luck with critters and have gotten two loving Great Pyrenees to take care of things...it...

I raise all different kinds of chicken, guineas, turkeys...and now I have a few Pea Chicks... I have been doing this for a while now.. Hopeing to get some ideas and learn something...we all can do that!
