We have a rat/mouse problem... We have tried everything to get rid of them. Poison/traps etc. bring in chicken food at night.... I can’t grow any herbs or veggies because the rats are eating them!! (And yes it’s the rats eating them not the chickens. The chickens can’t get to them) Which would...
I’m about to drive 2 hrs each way to pick up these two cream Legbar pullets? Just wanted to make sure they are indeed pullets and good quality. They are 2 weeks old. Also does anyone know if I can make them as friendly as my others that I got as day olds?
