Great point. I was planning on installing a camera on the corner of the house to watch the road/driveway and see if we could catch her coaxing the birds over. I wouldn't put it past her trying to hurt the birds, honestly. She's a nasty old bat.

Nope... We just put up paddocks on the back of the property and don't turn the horses out up front and that has her all pissed off. She also doesn't like that we have 3 boys that run the property and play and have a tree house (in the backyard). She has routinely complained that they "play too...

Animal Control has stated that we are 100% in the right and there's nothing to be done about us or how we care for our animals. She can't make up law just because she's decided she wants to be a crappy neighbor and find something to whine about because she can't get her own way about watching...

Oh don't you worry. Since posting this, she has called the fire department on us for burning brush and told them it was a structure fire so they flew over here loaded for bear. It resulted in her being officially trespassed off our property and told to discontinue the harassment through calling...

Currently the only fencing we have is horse fencing and they can just go right under that. We got a quote for fencing that will keep them "in" so long as they don't go over the top and are going to start working on getting that done. Sheriff has informed her that it's a "fence out" situation...

So... We attempted to be friendly when we first moved in by bringing baskets of fresh goodies to the neighbors and introducing ourselves and explaining that we'd bought the property to be our family horse farm and would have chickens/ducks/turkeys/guineas etc as well as horses and eventually...

This one's a long one folks, but TLDR; nosy neighbor is pissed we won't turn our horses out where she can see/watch them and has started baiting our chickens across the road, calling animal control, and is now threatening to trap and sell/remove/give them away. We are in a rural ag zoned area...

That makes a ton of sense. Thank you for this.

I have plenty of young pullets and more hatching weekly. Are there any specific breeds you're looking for?

I have a gorgeous black split to chocolate frizzle Silkie rooster that was hatched in August of 2022. I am keeping his larger brother from the same hatch. This boy has excellent toes and tight wings and is a total dreamboat. He needs a whole flock of ladies of his own to make beautiful chocolate...

I have two stunning black split to chocolate frizzle roosters and have been going through my girls to figure out who I want to pair off with them. I have an outstanding black hen, but I'm not entirely sure that will suit my needs when it comes to creating chocolate anything. Admittedly, I'm not...

pretty gruesome, but I'll snag a couple pics here in a moment. She's currently in a warm, dark space with food and water while I finish night chores.

I have a young 8 week old pullet who has just started spending her first few nights outside. Today I go to feed them their dinner and notice this young lady dragging her right wing. Further examination reveals that it's a clean compound fracture with the bone sticking through the skin. It looks...

Right?! I have never seen a bird this orange that wasn't in a super filtered photo. She looks like a running piece of flame or burning paper LOL

Ok... This bird has me 100% baffled, but I love her. Born; white with very broken dark slate chipmunk patterning and a weird orange/yellow iridescent cast over fluff. 5 weeks; ORANGE with cream cheek and leg fluff and barring all over. Tail and head feathers still scream "My dad is the...
