any thing over 50 yards ill just get my (w/ nikon M308 scope) .308 an splatter it all over the field................ soo as our coons see light around here they scatter.......
come to think of it i have not seen coon in barm since we got our goats....... weird
even $10,000 nikon/cannon camera lens block light. nothing is for free. those lens have openings of inches, my f2.8 lens is about 5 inches. my eyes can see way better than looking with a scope and i dont have to give up perf vision.
plus i have a light near the coop so all i need to see is...

you can't use il law in Missouri different laws
also do not ever trust what any LEO tells you the law is, look it up for yourself or find a pro that dos it for a living. Copwatch, photography is not a crime, ex cop law student, are proof that most police do not know the laws
sounds like a coon to me, you need 1/2 inch hardwire cloth (amzon has it $80 for 100 feet x 4 feet) the coons reach into the pen and pull the chickens out, 1/2 inch they can't reach into do not use the cheap chicken wire, it wont work..... i lost a few chickens to it
I would recommend some 28% game bird feed to get some weight on them, keep an eye on their droppings for worms, worm if they need it
you should be able to get some food grade DE to put in there food and that should be fine, I'm sure someone else can clear this up better then I.
what kinds chickens you got? we have 27 and only do a 50lb bag every 3-4 weeks.......... and that includes giving a scoope to the ducks/geese also
ours do free range in the day though
i made an excel sheet to track this, it does not include the cost of the coop and such yet, work in progress, but all you have to do is change the number of birds and it calculates cost per egg.
you can also adjust the average number of eggs you get per hen to make it more accurate
will...
we have 3 Fawn runner hens and one is laying.
she only lays Monday through Friday !!!!
next she will want freaking overtime or something LOL
the good news is every Monday the eggs are getting bigger !!
when i was a kid we had a rooster, and it was attacking me, and would not leave me alone, my dad would come help me, he told me i needed to stand up for my-self and the roster would know i was boss. the rooster liked to guard the barn. ( i was like 6 or 7 at the time)
one day i was coming out...
Well it seem your guys where right!!
One of our Sussex is the laying we caught her this weekend!!! she kicks all the other birds out of the coop and picks her nesting box !! - very funny, yesterday i came out to check for eggs and she was in there so i shut the door real fast - I hope that...
we are thinking the dark cornish, she is red and what we see on the internet she looks like other hens that are laying of her kind
she lays like this
afternoon - skip day - morning - afternoon - skip day
the eggs are stil the same size and they are small
thanks all this is our best...
put her in a pen with no bottom, and have fan blow up, cool off her belly and that should breeak her
also she could have been stealing eggs from your other chickens
