    He was born at the end of July, I think. Itsazoo32 hatched him.... he lets me carry him around & pet him like he's a persian kitty or something. He has no name, we've just called him Rooster so far.

    Hey lovers ...... It's been awhile. Busy with holidays & no time for BYC. : So..... I have a little problem. One of my adorable, sweet, pet-able, huggable, kissable, squeezable, silkies keeps crowing. I thought I was dreaming when I heard it at 4am... but then at dinner tonight he sounded off...

    HOLY CHICKENS! No one warned me what evil spawn a raccoon could be. Seriously, the ground all around the cage is DESTROYED. The metal cat food can I used as bait is RIPPED TO SHREDS. This is a raccoon, I'm sure of it. Not a honey badger.

    We haven't had a raccoon attack any of our chickens. Since it's practically free to trap them (one neighbor gave me a trap to borrow & another promises her boyfriend will take him to some woods far away for me) I would like to do it... just b/c raccoons don't even JUST prey on chickens. Their...

    Congrats, Juan! Pretty little pulley egg, if you ask me. Enjoy it! In other news, uninteresting article on backyard chickens in the Florida Today today. Front page, even. The farm it highlights, Funky Chicken Farms, may or may not have sold my neighbor some 3 or so month old...

    Buzzard attack + rant

    I recently did some research after a vulture was perched up on a dead palm in my yard. Apparently if a vulture takes a live animal it's b/c it's young or sick. They usually only prey on dead things here.

    I recently re-did my coop, as well. I'm very very happy with the set up. I shoveled out the old dirt, mulch & hay (which had mostly turned to dirt from all the manure) & then replaced it with new sand & then equine pine from Tractor Supply. I go in there with gardening gloves & an empty, used...

    Well that was a whole lot of worry for nothing- I went outside & the buzzard was gone.

    There was recently a news story about an influx of "giant mosquitos" invading b/c of all those storms a few weeks back. Soooo... has anyone had any vulture issues? This morning I have one perched on a dead palm outside. I refuse to get rid of the dead palm, even though I've also seen a hawk up...

    I'm feeling the wrath! Seriously, my neighbor's dogs just got loose. Luckily they're cocker spaniels & all the chickens are intact, but quite shaken... but uhhh... I brought her dog to her front door, intact, & she didn't even say sorry.
