Those masked turds are nasty. Corner them and they’ll bark like a dog. No shit. Possums are no better either lol

Nah, as long as what you’re feeding them doesn’t look like what they’re spitting out daily

Hahahahaha you nailed it. It’s holding up so far...

That would be great in theory hahahahaha

Wellllll you got caught. Here’s how it works...draft a letter about how you’re a responsible owner and have your neighbors in mind. You’re a responsible bird steward, clean the coop weekly, no roosters, no noise, no smell, bird flu is bullshit yada yada...Then do this (it works), email that...

These birds are easy

Agreed, Trux. Nighttime=predators. Here’s what I have...roofing tiles and exterior paint applied too prevent weathering and rot (which is inevitable). Exterior slide locks and inside coop has a slide door. Backyard has a privacy fence, but I know those critters get in. A barking dog doesn’t...

I’d say diet is the culprit. Calcium stat! Oyster shell or dairy products. You can even take the odd eggs (shells and all), mash them up and feed ‘em back to the birds.

Thanks BB. Anywhere outside my city it’s no problem, this county has a large agricultural/ranching and ocean sport fishing presence. But the standard residential lots within are 80x125 with zero lot lines...tight fit. Will take some major convincing and responsible owners...it only takes one...

Where I live chickens aren’t allowed...but I’ve got them anyway. Did my homework on the best breed to fit my location...neighbors don’t mind since I’ve been a good steward. The city has been flirting with allowing chickens for a few years, but the Council is afraid of Bird Flu . Really the...

I originally bought a coop with a built in run designed for 6-8 hens, but as I’ve mentioned before the fin count was 11. They’ve been laying eggs now for about 1.5 months now. I suspect at least 2 or 3 have not started yet. They roam the yard, so no issue there. As far as the coop, it has 3...

Agreed, we’re getting oyster shells for them starting next week.
