    Will my peacock stay?

    My husband and I frequent a local animal sale and 2 weeks ago I got a peacock. This is my 3rd. The other 2 ran away from our old place. This one is approx. 2 yrs. old and no, I don't have a hen to go with him and I have him on a VERY long tie cord. Granted, when I got the others I was just...

    Chase, capture or kill?

    No, NO! Don't be sorry! This helped alot! I JUST had a friend with chickens tell me about the cd's and you confirmed it! We have LOTS of hiding places for the free range. I don't think the last owner FED them but can't say for sure. I know they didn't have chickens though. We didn't start...

    Chase, capture or kill?

    That's why I asked if anyone knew how to CAPTURE for relocation first! Or for tips on SCARING them off. I DON'T relish the thought of killing ANYTHING that isn't for consumption. I understand the NATURE of things and know I'll loose a few birds, not only to hawks, but a MULTITUDE of different...

    Chase, capture or kill?

    I've noticed that the roosters on the tie cords don't get messed with and they're a pretty good alarm system! That's how I know when its out there. But It goes after my full sized hens that are running on the yard! ALL my babies are in brooders. I pull them after 3 days with their mommies...

    Chase, capture or kill?

    I have an issue with a hawk. We just moved to our new house and this thing is killing my babies and has demolished a couple of my hens. I even had a sick hen in a cage and it got ahold of her.......pulled her through the wire and stripped her from the neck down to her shoulders. I don't know...

    Any Ideas on WHAT'S killing my chickens?

    Thats a good idea with the music and a bucket!! I just might try that one! OH! We do the lead poisoning thing too. I don't get satisfaction from it......I understand nature and the food chain and everything has to eat. I just don't like em DINING on OUR chickens! IF I have to kill...

    Any Ideas on WHAT'S killing my chickens?

    You're right........they are common here! I've even heard them at times. And I even thought of that but Idk.......every time we have had incidences with coyotes, they've NEVER been QUIET........dead quiet. We've KNOWN when they're around so wouldn't I have heard something when I went outside...

    Any Ideas on WHAT'S killing my chickens?

    A tie cord is used to keep a rooster within a certain amount of area within a yard. They are used by people who have a large number of roosters to keep them safe among themselves as roosters can be very aggressive and domaneering. They will fight to the death over territory or hens. So, tie...

    Any Ideas on WHAT'S killing my chickens?

    My husband and I have roosters on tie cords. One night, at about 1:30 am, our dogs were going NUTS! I went to the garage and grabbed the flash light and started searching the yard. Although the moon was bright, it was a very foggy night. I HEARD nothing and SAW even less. Until I saw one of...
