Definatley :) I have already scoped out craigslist and emailed some local farmers

I had something get into my coop twice. It happens during the day (1pm-230pm). The first time it pulled my fence apart (i have pics) and scooted in that way and brought the hen and 4 baby chickens out and ate them about 10 yards away from the coop. The second time I forgot to place a cinder...

I just got back form vacation and I found mt Silkie Rooster has one of his toes biten off? I can't figure out how it happened. I also can't find a point of entry into the pen. The other hens have nothing wrong with them. He does protect his flock by going up to the fence and fight. Maybe his toe...

I have a pair of buff laced polish chickens. They will be 13 weeks on 2/6/12. I live near Montrose,PA. I ultimaltely want to trade for another pair of a different breed. (Molted Java would be a dream!!)

Found out I am allow to shoot a dog if it's attacking my livestock on my property in PA. We live far from any neighbors so I never thought I would have to deal with a dog just cougars, coyotes, weasels etc.. :) I went out this morning and saw something is still trying to get in there on the...

I live in Montrose, PA. The dog was eating my chicken when I yelled at it to stop. It then growled at me and I ran back in the house as I was scared. I will call my local dog catcher.

I noticed last week that a couple of the girls were sneezing. While I was out there last night I noticed it again. Is this something I should be worried about? I have a vitamin to place in thier water for stress conditions. The tempature has been really cold here in the teens last night etc...

I live on the NY and PA border. It's been frigid here. My coop is small and heated with a 250 watt red heat lamp yet the water in the coop still freezes. And it also gets full of junk. So I went to agway and got a 3 gallon heated water for the run. Been working like a charm!!!

They did it again tonight. If they weren't so inaccessible, I could pick them up and place them in the coop.

Depends on your breed. and do you have pictures?

Last night it was raining so hard and I got home late. When I went to check on the chicks in the coop, I assumed that they would be in there. The 3 week olds were all cuddled up sleeping. But the 6 week old chicks were out cuddle against the fence under the coop? I tried to scare them to the...
