When I was a kid Betsy put 7’ of water in our house.Lost everything. Then Katrina got me again but I salvaged some stuff. I’m a little higher now. But there’s more tornados here

Yeah...got friends inland closer to Shreveport that I’m worried about...

Winds like that I can not make pens for. Birds would have to be protected by some other means. Especially true with young birds.

Not much you can do for pens in that kind of wind. I’ve got my wire pens anchored but some will likely blow over anyway. I’ll have to do the best I can with what I’ve got

Please stay safe !!!!!

Something I have learned is loose cocks will fight in weather too dangerous for me to be out in.

Can you remove covers so they do not catch wind. My pens can withstand 75 mph winds with covers removed.

I’m tying everything down now. Laura is expected to hit here in the morning.

Stay safe.

That Cornish Cross is so humorously out of place!

I know but they love her that is Pinky pie we have her and her sister Monster and we had their brother Victor but I had to cull him he was so fat he stopped thriving my husband bought them he forgot I said no more meet birds because my kids didn't talk to me for 3days because I culled Victor so he promised me he would not buy any more I have a crazy mixed flock I have bantams, Cornish Cross, black sexlinks, golden sexlinks, white leghorns, booted bantams, EE's, silkie's, Ameraucanas and black Marans

Ive taken covers off of some but it’s surprising how much they will blow over without covers on them

My bull stag is driving out my layer hens one by one. He killed the first one when I tried to add her back to the flock after a separation period. He broke her lower jaw, so she couldn't eat. I won't make that mistake again.

He has since driven out another one, a healthy Brahma hen I had to give away. He is now in the process of driving another hybrid layer from the flock, he attacks her, and then the other hens attack her. She is now missing one eye, and the stag is going in the pen tonight. I assume he is driving them out because they are 'different', and maybe not as receptive to him. Has anyone else free ranged their game cocks with layers and had this happen? I have a feeling he will have to go after he molts, I have 12 new stags to choose from, but I'm afraid this may be in the bloodline.
