I don’t think I’ve ever had a flock that didn’t have one that was always yelling.

If you have a good electric fence it will stop a bear most of the time. Do some research and get the strongest one you can afford.

I’m jealous, those are way prettier than mine!

That’s going to be a stunning rooster!

He looks like a cute little striped buzzard lol. Did he scorch his head on a heat lamp or maybe he rubbed it raw on the top of the brooder?

Things happen for a reason, good job!

If you put squares of cardboard or plywood maybe 16x16 under the feed and water it really cuts down on the pine shavings in the food and water.

That looks way better!

For years I had a large flock of American buffs. They were beautiful large birds and very peaceful for geese. Even with 15-20 they rarely made much noise and never once attacked, even when getting eggs.

Raccoons are terrible and if they are hungry they will come out day or night. I wish they weren’t so cute, I shoot them but it’s hard lol.

Why don't raptors eat at 2pm? Is it their nap time or something? I see them from sun up to sundowns, but I’ve never really looked at my watch to see what time they eat specifically, I assumed it was any time the opportunity arose. I’ll have to do some more research on the subject.

Are they higher than the nest boxes?

Hopefully the flock she got rid of aren’t egg eaters! The rollout nest boxes will take care of that problem though. Are the roosts above the nest boxes and can the hens easily get to them, like a step or box to hop on so they don’t have yo try to fly way up to the roost.

I have a couple of whiting true blues that look similar

They’ll be fine, don’t stress. Geese and ducks get off the nests for longer periods of time than we realize. I bet some or all of them continue developing.

This is what I was responding to. The poster stated with this and he disagreed and I agreed.

It’s looking great

I consider it flogging when they strike you with their wings. I didn’t realize it had to be an airborne attack to be considered flogging. I may have to look at the definition of it and see if I’ve been using the word wrong.

Not sure if this will help you or not.

Sounds good.
