Hi there you guys have been very lucky and Im glad. I just lost 6/7 of my chickens 6 nites ago to a bear :( They will eat chickens. They didn't eat the food in their run or even go into it. He just climbed over our chain link fence and tore into the coop. My little Charlotte ( a Speckaled...

Yes you do have to worry. I sadly just lost 6 out of my 7 chickens to a bear last nite. They will rip through anything to get them and eat them. I'm devastated as they were my pets and all named and looked after so well

Hey everyone, Just need a few ideas hopefully. My chicken run is dirt at one end then they can walk under the coop to the other end which is feed and water and I have put down rock to help keep it cleaner. The dirt end is so boring for them as far as foraging goes. I hang things for them to eat...

Keep an eye on it...a close eye, everyday until it's gone. Could be she bled a little from newly laying, happens. Thankyou and you were right she is just fine now and had just started laying :)

s Thanks, was worried about my girls :)

Anybodys thoughts on my chickens spots would be greatly appreciated :)

Yes I will post a pic today thanks

I read that dry pox starts with white yellowish spots these did not. Just appeared and were black. Thankyou for answering. I will research it more :)

I have seven chickens and two have black spots on their combs. If it's pox is it serious?? Or is there something I should do?? First time chicken owner and this is second issue I have had. I posted the other one as well but hoping for some info about this too please. Any info is sooooo...

Hello, any information will be greatly appreciated. My Speckaled Sussex Charlotte was getting pecked in the rear by some of the other chickens. I picked her up and took a peek and there was blood there!! I noticed one dropping with blood in it as well. I put her in the coop with the door closed...

Anyone having issues with earwigs in the feed?? My feed is in a tin garbage can and they still get in to that and into my PVC pipe chicken feeders so annoying.

Well I looked on line at our local Canadian Tire & they have a nice compact tumble Compost, plastic and has doors to open & close with built in handles to turn it. Sound pretty simple so it's worth a go. $100 bucks so have decided to get one. Thanks for all the info!!

Wait.... Mine poop all over in the run too.... Yours don't?? I wish I was so lucky!!!

I'm afraid I wouldn't keep up on a compost bin and I'd end up with a mound of smelly fly surrounded mound of ruk!!! Lol

Awsome thanks!!
