Yeah with the setup covered and chain link it was a coon or possum. You really need to cover the botom of that setup in hardware cloth to stop anything from reaching in.
Cages if big enough are fine for a rabbit. Being outside is also fine as long as the rabbit is protected. Frankly I would take anything else they told you with a gain of salt.
Most of the time a removed head is a bird of prey of some sort. It's not uncommon for a coon to do it also.
Owls often remove the head and go for the brain. I'm gonna lean torward that is your problem.
Most broody birds won't like you touch them. Mine were all hand raised and I can pick them up any time I want much to the distain of my rooster. When they are boody you aint sticking your hand near them in the nest without getting pecked.
Whats this paint thing you speak of?
My coop is tin and white. If you live in a hot area go light to reflect the summer heat. If in a cold area go dark to absorb the heat.
The height really doesn't factor in when you are looking at square footage for animals. Chickens spend most of their time on their feet. A 2x2 foot coop is only good one one bird even if it's 30 feet tall.
IMHO I would never put my nest boxes under the roosts if that is what you are suggesting.
You say dutching I grew up calling it staking. My tomatos I drive a metal fence post next to the plant and tie the plant to it.
Spraining I'm not sure of the correct term but that like growing cucumbers on a fence. I drive metal fence posts at a 45 degree angle and put cattle panels on them...
I would have booted her as far as I could and wouldn't feel bad for it.
Geese can be aggressive and you don't want her to put you below her in the pecking order. She sees you as the top bird in the flock and is challenging you.
Thanks but it's all good. Between dad, my cuz, and I we keep it whooped. Dad and my cuz pretty much keep all the "standing up" work in the garden covered. I do the other 20%. Dad leaves me with 90% of the cattle work. Sad thing is we all disabled for different reasons.
Yeah I was born in the back seat of a 69 malibu ss with a 427 powerglide. Cherry red, white vinyl top, black interior. Kept that car till I was 6. I remember going to races with him. Ya know back then we didn't need car seats or even to be buckled in. Dad moved to track racing when I was about...
