Hawks killed two of my black hens within two weeks of getting them. Year old birds so they were good sized.

You could try just building some covered areas within the run that your chickens could hide under when they see or sense a hawk. I've lost half dozen to a hawk and I created a colorful parachute cord covering for my run but my run is just 25 by 25, much smaller than yours

25 year warrenty

The automatic door for sure. what a great invention

Thanks. I am going to build one of these today and put it out there. I fixed a couple of spots where the weasel may have been getting in but the best option to my mind is to just get rid of it. While I don't like losing chickens I understand the cycle of predator and prey and the occasional...

I just lost 7 chickens to either a weasel or a mink. Darn thing just ripped out their throats and apparently drank the blood and then left the bodies. And then, to make matters worse, a fox got another one in the middle of the afternoon. It's been a bad week. Anyone got advice for getting...

Interesting. My chickens also started having problems a few weeks after switching to Purina. I thought it was the increasing heat, although I had no problems last summer. but, same issues, low laying amounts (I have 8 chickens and one day only had 1 egg), shells that seem softer, and a few...

Here's my two entries

My Oyster Strong System eggs are as strong as steel but still crackable so you can get to the delicious insides!

Just look at these beauties. Fresh laid

Here they are rushing over to beg for a handful of OysterStrong

They're chowing it down. I went through a full feeder in a day when normally it takes 3 or 4 days for them to finish off that amount of other food. Must be good stuff.

Rain stopped for the morning so was able to get the bag outside

It's been raining for 4 days and projected to rain for another 5 so this is in front of the inside door to the coop.

I got mine at Tractor Supply

I'm a new chicken owner (got 6 adolescents in June, 4 turned out to be roosters and managed to traded them in 2 for 1 so now have 4 chickens) and learning a lot from everyone here. It's great to see so many small flockers. The pick is before the trade. They were all very invested in the coop...
