ok, off to the store tomorrow to get rat poison.

be careful minks are endangered and you could get a fine if you kill it. (well, if they find it.....)

Yeah, the i'm going to hope for wharf rat, casue i've been told we don't have weasls around here only minks....and i can't kill them i think. i guess i need to save up for a trap....we can't put poison out cause of a cat we have. He goes into the chicken pen using the top of the door, doesn't...

the holes where i found my rooster, same day i found him. After i buried his body.

the holes are about three or four inches wide.....like a large snake hole.....i know we have a whorf rat, but could it do something like that? to kill a large rooster and duck....i think i have pictures of the bodies somewhere if anyone wants to see them....(took at the time to show grandmother...

ANY ONE!!? bump

OK, so this winter my girls have been totally cooped up. In late fall of last year we lost a duck in it"s pen. well around that time we started getting snow and it was to bad to let them out, well at the end of Jan beginning of Feb we had nice weather, so i let the girls and my three roosters...

It looks like my little one which I'm told is male, tho he hasn't started crowing but his brother has.

Lets see finding chickens hiding is like easter egg hunting you find some easy, others are harder. Some places i would look are under the coop if it's raised up, under anything they could get under. I've seen my big meatie chicken drag herself under a kids wagon that she shouldn't have been...

hmmm, well the eye looks like my one but not the listlessness,droopy, and sleepiness doesn't sound like mine. I don't know want to tell you now....maybe someone will come along that knows. if not maybe search the form for droopy listless chick.

your welcome, i'll keep my ear out to see if i hear anyone else selling their silkie's.

hmm lets see i know i heard someone around here say they were selling some on craigslist. *diggs around* here we go. http://asheville.craigslist.org/grd/1715918461.html I think the other person sold theirs.... sorry.

I'm sorry for your losses. something like this happened to me too, just with in the family. Around here if a dog hurts a animal it is put in a lot with a electric fencing.(be as we see it it kills a animal it can attack a human and hurt someone) We had one dog that killed some chickens we had...

we used outside rated silicone caulk for our cracks. one thing i've learned. Don't build the run (if your coop is inside the run) then let the chickens stay in it while your build the coop. The run will get so muddy that you step inside holding a heavy wall frame and you sink into the mud...

ok, thanks. then i have a porcelain booted bantam boy (i thought so. i have another one in the brooder that looks different but is the same age. it's still in there because it was picked on so it's with my two ameracana's one which has a crooked beak.), a silver spangled hamburg boy, rhode...
