    What predator killed my 2 hens while free ranging in the middle of the day

    I would have guessed a dog. I have had one of my dogs decide to "play" with the chickens. It was all slobbered on and missing feathers but otherwise fine. My guess is that he would have played with it to death. Of course coydogs are more elusive and that may have been why you didn't see it...

    Rabbits raised on "forage?"

    Check out thedancingfarmer.com blog. She raises Silver Foxes (we got ours from her, love them) and she talks about raising rabbits on grass etc. You may have to look back a bit in her blog. Monica is pretty awesome.

    PLEASE HELP!!! Suddenly Blind Rooster? Brain Damage Possible? Can't figure it out!!!

    Where are you? Had it been really hot? It has been ridiculous in Texas and I was wondering if it could be heat stroke. You might put him in a crate and see if he can eat and drink. If he does that there is at least hope. If not you may have some decisions to make. Are there any vets that treat...

    I think I have a little Pterodactyl

    You know paleontologists (sp?) say chickens are very closely related to dinosaurs. They even go so far as to say a T-Rex's closest living relative is a chicken. If you google chicken and dinosaurs, there are a lot of stories in regard to this. Here are a few...

    Khaki Campbell gender identification problem...please help :- )

    Absolutely true. When they get overrun with hormones they can hurt the hens. I had that happen. To this day I have a hen that gets a gimpy leg because of her overzealous drake and he has four girls!!

    Brinsea mini advance or R-com mini?

    I LOVE my Brinsea Mini Advance. I have not had to open it every 24 hours like ChickensAreSweet. It make sure to fill it full right before lock down, though. It may be a difference in climates. For duck eggs I do wrap a littel towl around the edge and that helps keep it more humid. I LOVE it. My...

    Roosters and children

    Quote: Just get rid of them both. There are plenty of really sweet, wonderful roos out there, without the hassle and trauma that could result. You do not need to risk injury to your child and you are absolutely right to be concerned. I had an Australorp rooster who would just fluff his wings...

    Wish we were closer, I would say come get one of our Great Pyrenees mix pups. Daddy lives in the barn and we have never had a problem (so far, in th almost two years we have lived here) with anything but rat snakes. Then he barks his head off. We turn them out and they can get on all sides of...
