I'll remember it next time. Too late now. Can't tell you how I wish I had SSSHHHH'd. If it had been my neighbor's pet dog or such, all I would be reading was how "if it's on your property and threatening your livestock you have every right to take it out" And I don't even think this thing...

Hangin wit my peeps....Thanks. I didn't think it was possible to feel worse about it.....but I do now.

Great!! How do I delete it?

If hubby wants to clean it and throw it on the grill...I'll have a bite or two! As for not posting such things, I'll keep that in mind for the future.

Did tons of checking....can't find anything that says you can't shoot them. There are plenty of them here. Actually on our way home, we spotted 2 others within 2 miles of us.

I use shredded paper and have had no problems. When I first put it in they ate a piece or two (guess they thought it was worms), decided it wasn't tasty and left it alone. I like it because it's FREE! However, my chickens free range all day, so they are not in there all the time. We also...

Thank you everyone! I think we will isolate them from the others. We have a very bossy, queenie-type hen in there. (She's not named Big-Bertha for nothin'!) So I fear for the safety of this little silkie and baby!

As of right now, it is still under her. I guess that is taking care of it (?). It's warm. How soon do I need to make sure it's eating and drinking? Tomorrow? If she leaves it alone in the nest again, should I put it under my other broody (barred rock) who is currently refusing to leave...

Anybody? I'm worried about this little guy/gal. Do I need to separate the mama and baby out of the coop shared by 11 other birds? They free range all day and are only in the coop together at night.

I need some advice. Here's the scoop... Had a broody barred rock. After unsuccessful attempts to make her not broody, we decided to put some eggs under her. We were most confident that the banty eggs might be fertile (we have 2 banty hens, and 3 banty roos). We put 5 eggs under her 27 days...

Thinking about going. Have to convince the rest of the crew to get up that early on their day off! DH doesn't want to buy anything else, so not sure if we'll make it. I, for one, would love to go just to look around. I didn't know if it would be worth it, but everyone's comments are...

I used to decorate cakes. If the recipe doesn't want to hold up to piping, add some more powdered sugar to thicken it. This is what I used all the time.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but my chickens (12 of them) are outside free ranging all day. So they don't spend a lot of time in the coop. Also I started with a dirt (?) floor. ( I'm not so sure the "dirt"wasn't just old chicken poo!! The previous tenants had chickens at one time.

I use shredded paper in our coop (including newspapers) and have had no problems. It's FREE, and it's recycling. I get my mom's old newspapers and use junk mail, kids' finished school papers etc. When I first put it down they thought it was worms (I guess) and ate a piece or two. Then...

Checking with DH. Would love to add them to a gang of well loved PETS. Let you know.

This is my first post. Hope it works! Been reading and learning for a while now. Live in E. Central Il. Saw someone was from Gibson City. Not too far from me. DH works in G. C. New to chickens, but absolutely loving it! Good to see so many Illini!
