    Racoon got one of my boys ....

    Yeah I found it in the morning. I'm thinking it might be hawk or owl. I set a trap baited with tuna and marshmallows and didn't get anything in 2 nights. Just keeping an eye out right now and making sure none of the others try to roost outside the enclosed coop/run. Thanks for all the replies -...

    What's crazy is I've never had a problem with predators other than dogs which was solved by the electric fence. Maybe the hawks food source is not good right now because of the cold.

    Thanks! I did see a hawk flying around this afternoon. I'll keep an eye out. Need to try the hanging CD's I read about them before.

    I have been growing out 3 heritage RIR cockerels to see which one I want to keep for spring breeding. One of them has been stubborn and wanting to roost outside the "fortress" as I call it. It's basically a bulletproof coop inside of a fenced run protected by electric fence. Well, this morning I...

    Yeah me too. The north side of my coop/run is protected so wind shouldn’t be a problem.

    Hey Y'all. I haven't been on in a while. How's everyone doing? Hope y'all had a good christmas! Have y'all seen the weather forecast for next week? Looks like we are getting in the low 20's for 4 or 5 nights in a row. I know they will probably be fine just wondering what everyone else is doing...

    It's not that big of a deal. The state vet did test every one of my birds (30 or so) when I got my NPIP cert a couple of years ago. Took an hour or so. They test for AI

    Not sure if it's fowl pox the pic is a little blurry. If you can, I would isolate her from the rest of the birds for a while to see if she starts showing any other symptoms like being lethargic, not eating or drinking much. Better to be safe than sorry because it can spread in a hurry.

    That's similar to where I live, one way in with about 15 large lots. My neighbors enjoy the eggs so they don't complain.

    Do you live in a neighborhood? If not, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I highly doubt your neighbors would care

    Country, I did some google searching and from what I can see there is no real ordinance or law regarding keeping chickens. The only thing I saw was about not letting animals run loose and keeping them confined. That was in St. Martin parish, not the city of St. Martinville. Dmontgomery is...
