Yep.. we have red tailed and Coopers hawks quite often. One of them ate a pullet straight through the brooder she was in. Kinda gross but made us reinforce the coop. We are in very urban SD and there is a hawk that has had her nest in a big tree for years...

Mine LOVE cabbage! And they have been fine since eating it.... They actually will seek it out in the garden.

I got one like that and it wasnt a "fart" egg it had a yolk and everything! Just super tiny. Not sure which hen it came from tho.

That coop is a thing of beauty! I love the signage.

Give mine a snail and you will see them run all over to try to keep it to themselves! Snails, slugs, grubs, worms, spiders, earwigs... pretty much everything! Glad the cat and dog can run away...

Lowes and Home Depot have safety netting that works really well. It comes in safety orange which is good for highways but also dark green which is great for your garden. The holes are about 1.5inches in diameter, so you can put a stake/metal pipe through the bottom if they are really digging...

One of my BRs lays a pink egg.

We call it chicken "crack". Because it causes them to run around like crazy.

Wow! That looks like it just came out of an easter display!

Awesome!

The funniest thing....throwing grapes and watching them run after them!!!! Human entertainment!

I had a blind 120lb dog and he found food and water just fine! If your chick is doing that then wait and see how it goes! Good luck!

Keep 'em and enjoy! Eggs last a really long time so long as the "bloom" has not been washed off. Some say as much as six months...I have not tried that!

Don't you worry about fliers/emails that have that many words spelled wrong and out of context? If I lived there it would go straight into the trash bin...to be composted with the 1000 chicken craps per day....hahaha.

I too was worried when we decided to expand our flock. We got the first flock as little peepers and went the same route with the new ones. The first few months we kept the new ones in the brooder to stay warm like you are supposed to but brought the brooder out into the yard when the big girls...

How long does it last? I have one BR just starting her molt....Also how long without eggs?? Do I need to turn on the heat lamp? It is only getting down to mid 40's at night. Thanks in advance for any advise.

Massive!!! OUCH!

People in other cultures actually never put eggs in the reefer(egg gets layed, put in container, taken to store, put on shelf, sold to customer). So long as you dont wash them... the protective coating will keep the bad stuff out. Also people that go on long sea voyages say they last for...

Nice!

It still hasnt gotten old here... and its been since Feb. Doesnt matter which side you have up or down, we keep ours in a bowl. They dont have to be put in the fridge so long as you dont wash them(unless they are poopy). People keep them on boats for months without washing.... Congrats!
