Well, they came back at around 9pm again, I had no idea Javelinas would do this either. I'll call the sheriff's office in the morning to see what i can do, and post what they tell me. Anyways, what kind of fence should I get for my run? I was told 14-gauge welded wire, partially buried and...

About a week ago, someone let my rooster out so he spent the night outside the coop. Early in the morning that day, just as the sun was coming up, I heard sounds of panic from the chickens. I ran out, and there was only a couple of feathers left behind but he was completely gone. Anyways, I was...

I have 2 hens left from a coyote attack, they were not harmed. Purebred Buff Orpington hen about 6 months old that just started laying a month ago. Another is an Easter Egger, also about 6 months old but she has not started laying yet. They were hand raised so they're completely used to people...

Thank you! I ended up filling a seperate bowl with their feed and placed it a few feet away, now the bees are hanging out there.

For the past few days I've noticed a few bees hanging out -in- my chicken's feed/feed spilled on the ground. I ignored it, but now there's a lot, around 30 or so. How can I make them go away? Should I move their coop/run? It's portable, so that's not a problem; I just don't want to move it since...

I have 5 chickens; two Buff Orpington hens, two Easter Egger hens and a Barred Rock rooster. I buy a 50lb bag of feed that lasts me about 2 months. They're given the feed free choice and they do not free range. I always throw about two handfuls of scratch in their run daily, and they get kitchen...

http://www.heavensentranch.com/orpingtons.htm The link above is some information about the "Standard of Perfection" in Orpingtons by the American Poultry Associations. If you read the first paragraph, it will mention that having yellow legs is a disqualification, which I believe could be the...

I got my first egg today from one of my four hens- a Buff Orpington. She's 23 1/2 weeks old. Her sister doesn't even look like she's about to lay an egg soon! .. Got all my chickens from a breeder, if that matters.

I got my first egg today from one of my four hens! :D Tiny little brown egg, that I believe my Buff Orpington laid. Can't wait for the others to start laying!!

Thank you for the reply.

Anyone else?

I've been feeding my chickens Purina poultry feed. In order for me to continue to feed them that I'd have to drive about an hour to get to any feed store that carries it. Just recently I discovered that a store in my town carries all kinds of livestock feed, and that's only a 15 minute drive...

There's horseisle 1 and horseisle 2, I would really recommend the first one! Ever since the release of HI2, more than half of our players have moved to HI2, so new players are always welcome in HI1! Both are way different than howrse, though. Both are virtual worlds where you can catch and...

If separate starter and grower is available in your area, you can switch them from the starter feed to the grower at 6 to 8 weeks. If you switch them to the grower feed, feed them that until 18 to 20 weeks of age or when you get your first egg; whichever comes first. You can also just keep them...

That's great to hear! Post pics when they hatch! I'm curious as to how many will make it.

Mine had them when they hatched, really noticeable too.

This looks awesome! Marking for later. How's it going so far?

You can use rocks to help with temperature modulation, since they absorb and hold heat. Having the rocks in there will help to heat the air up quickly if you happen to let fresh air in. I think jars both plastic and glass filled with water will work as heat sinks also, not too sure about water...
