So, how can I tell what the "active time" is for the little monster? I've seen him at 7 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon, both times dragging a dead mouse with him (or her, I haven't gotten that up close and personal.) Will it help if I have nesting boxes and perches kept up away from the...

It is my understanding that turkeys should not be kept with chickens as the chickens carry a bacteria that will kill the turkeys. I would google turkeys/chickens and see what comes up.

Some reptiles can do this.

Thank you. I googled "weasel box trap" and realized fairly quickly that the only way to deal with these animals is to kill them. I have the components of the trap. Just have to assemble and set it. Anyone have any idea about how likely it is that I have more than 1 or 2 weasels to be worried...

Found a really nice dead branch to give my girlies as their first perch and they are lovin it. I made sure it was large enough in diameter and kinda knobby for them. When we go in there will be about six of the twelve on it.. I can't wait to get them in their new pen, but have to kill the...

Well, I am really new to this, but I have 6 ameraucana pullets and I think they are adorable. I also have 6 golden comet pullets, but they are not the subject of this forum, so I will leave them out for now. One of the things I love about my ee girls is that since they all look different from...

I will agree that as any company grows too rapidly it becomes harder to get trained, competent personnel with a good work ethic. Bar in mind also that the reason for that growth is the number of us out here starting our backyard flocks. We should try not to demonize the companies that are trying...

I found the weasels in Google yesterday. As I said in my first post, it has been seen caerying mice, so I know it is hunting. I have had customers come in devastated because a weasel had gotten in and killed their whole flock. Not planning on risking my babies.

Thank you

I am with you on this. Someone posted it to my FB so I followed the link expecting to find something funny. Not at all. it especially bothered me that these are parents betraying the trust of their children and making it a public ridicule.I was subjected to this kind of mental abuse by my...

My boyfriend is a French model. I found him on the internet.

Just to be fair, it should be pointed out that Privett Hatchery, in NM had an outbreak in August 2013 that affected more than 300 people. No place is immune. I'm sure there are others out there that I didn't go far enough to find. Frankly, as we continue to raise and keep animals in less than...

Um, beg to differ about what?

And this is why we don't let customers handle the chicks

Trapping it was my first thought, but it is so small ( I think, after some reading, it may be a young "least weasel") I figure there are more where that one came from, and where could I drop them that they wouldn't just return to the farm?
