What I did with my roo anytime he tried to size me up is I would pick him up and tuck him under my arm and hold his legs so he can`t. move Then I would just take him for a walk for about 5-10 min. It is a show of dominance. It puts him in a position where he can`t fight back
It is very unlikely that you could catch a coyote in a Hav-a-hart trap. They are very smart and cautous.It knew your dog was not around otherwise it would not have attemped to grab your chickens. Since you have a dog, snares and leghold traps are out of the question.

I don`t think you will need the reptile heating coil. The hay bails should work good. Chickens give off alot of heat.The most important thing is ventalation but you do not want your girls exsposed to a draft.Moisture in the air will condence on a warm chicken body. Also I use 2x4 for roost so...
I went to the store this morning to buy some melons for the girls. Since they will be shut in all day Sunday they will need something to keep them occupied. People are going crazy! you would think it was the end of the world. It took me 1 hour to make a 15 minute trip. I was suppose to go to JFK...
Just as long as you have good ventalation you are good. Just make sure they are not exposed to a direct draft. I use 2x4 for a roost so they can sit on thier feet to keep them warm. On my rooster I put vasaline on his comb. The girls tuck thier heads under thier wings but I still give them a...
BiB, I like Bethel`s DR MIKES better than Newtowns Ferris Creamery. The Ice cream is alot richer. As long as you don`t get the owner to serve you. You will get a pretty good oversized ice cream.
I would make sure that they are actually being charged. Being that you live in a small town and everybody know everybody,these little monsters might be related to or know somebody in the cop shop. The police telling you that they are being charged with all kind of stuff may be a way to get you...
I like this idea.
Yard full o' rocks :
First ...... it was wrong it is was illegal
Second ..... as others have said, perhaps, "you do the crime, you do the time".
However, perhaps there is a "middle of the road" here
What if

It is 100 degrees today and you are thinking about frostbite? You should be thinking about sunblock. It will give the meat a nice coconut flavor
