    Dead Rooster..

    I am sorry for what you are going through with a bad neighbor. We had problems with the next door neighbor for many years, and it was very very frustrating. If your flock is in the run, I think one way is to put electric wire in your property where the dog usually go to. When it get shock...

    Is it bad for ckickens to eat paint?

    My chickens are eating the paint because we repaint our front house, and the people we hired left the paint chips all over our garden. It is good to know the acrylic paint are inert. Thank you. But why do they eat the paint? Is it because there is something lacking in their diet?

    I am building a second coop and run as well because I am also tired of the daily letting them in and out to their daytime run which is in a different part of the yard. Good job! Do you let your chickens out free range at all or do they stay inside their run all day?

    Dealing with grief and massive loss.

    I am so sorry for your loss. You must be devastated. I understand because I lost my babies chicks 3 weeks old to a hawk and a squirrel. Did you know what happened?

    How do I keep raccoons away

    I know I feel the same thing. At night sometimes I sat up late trying to see if I can hear my girls and hope they are okay. I don't have a dog so I think I am trying to do the work of a dog!
