    Update on Hawk situation

    Well Mr. Hawk made a BAD mistake this morning when he got caught in the chicken pen with my Little Bit a Seabright hen about 11 years old. He was "trying" to get out of the pen with her when I heard all my chickens making a huge fuss. I went down thee and lets just say that the hawk had a...

    Most annoying Hawk there is

    Most annoying Hawk there is

    I am getting so aggravated!!! I have been dealing with a hawk for months now and have tried just about everything to get rid of him. I must have more than one. Living in the country in Georgia, they must be smarter than I am. Someone told me to put up a scarecrow. Well I put up...

    Red Tailed Hawk!!

    How sad. I know just what you mean. I have been having lots of hawk trouble myself. He is picking off my chickens one by one and today he got my prized little bantam rooster. He was so tame he would come to you as if he were a dog. I loved him so much. If it isn't the hawks it is a...

    How does a hawk....??

    I am sorry to hear you are having bad luck with a pesty pediator. Not knowing what it is has to be flustrating. I saw a hawk this morning. My chickens alerted me by there carryings on down at their chicken yard. As I was looking I saw him swoop in, but just by chance they all ran into...

    Ants ants ants and more ants

    I am sure I don't have fired ants, these aggravating ants are everywhere. They are black ants bigger than the fire ants. By my investigating senses I have seen a bunch of smaller little ants hills. But on our ground you look and there are hundreds, no millions of ants. You can't stand...

    To answer someone question about what kind of ants I have. I can tell you they are not fire ants. As I understand.. fire ants make huge dirt mounds and I have had those in my front yard. But all over the rest of my 2 1/2 acres I have these ants that are everywhere. They BITE bad. In my...

    Snakes!!

    I Thank you for your reply. We are in the process of remodeling our chicken pen and coop area. It is pretty large and is in great need of a make over. I will try the wire netting around the bottom. I read that suffer around the outside works well too. It is worth a try. Thank you again

    Snakes!!

    I just killed a snake who was trying to swallow one of my biddies. He had gotten the head down his throat and I lost it. I chopped his head off. Of course the biddie was already dead and that made me mad. Since I live way out in the country I need to find out what to put around the...

    So MAD I could SPIT!

    Quote: I think that was the right thing to do. My chickens are for me to love and see that they get what they need to give me eggs. I do eat chicken, just NOT mine. I don't tell them that I am eating chicken..... I have one bantam rooster that thinks I am a hen I think. When I go...

    Quote: I can certainly understand your flustration. We live in Central Georgia, but I think we have the same crazy ants here too. They scurry around like they are on some sort of mission. It is to bite you if they get on you. You can't wear flip flops. That is just a no no around...

    Quote: That is a good idea, but these are not fire ants. They are all over the ground. I don't even see any mounds. I do have some fire ant hills in the back yard, but I have just about gotten that under control. These are pesty ants that are there by the zillons. I am still...
