Afghanistan, Egypt and now Syria and folks want to fight over chickens. After all we have suffered thru this last year not one person should complain about anything. We lost over half our flock to acts of vandalism. Only Vickie aka Thedragonlady would help us with a Buff Orpington cockerel...

Definitely use a game cam that is attached to your computer. Then sue them in court. You should be able to easily prove via Greenfire, Marc Sayer etc the value of your imported birds. Contact the breeders you acquired your stock from and get a statement of their value. We had a similar...

I have no idea where this sign is located or who posted it. It has been going around Facebook for months.

With a quality wire cutter, I could remove a wing or leg band in about a second. If a thief wants to steal, they will do it. A lock only slows them down enough to hopefully deter them. When you have 10,000+ birds cooping out at one time, it is a madhouse! Even with 500 birds cooping out, it can...
