    Losing lots of chickens to some unknown predator

    But a pack of them can scare the heck out of predators. It's not just one dog; I have 28. I've had no issues with coons, opossums, or the like. Even a fox came around but left in a hurry.But I agree about coyotes. About all you can do with that is a camera and lay in wait with a rifle. I also...

    Losing lots of chickens to some unknown predator

    Predators can be sneaky, to say the least. I decided to use outdoor solar lights all around my fenced chicken yard, in addition to shutting my chickens up in a coop each night. When it's hot, I have wire doors to go where the regular doors are located, and I tie them shut. I guess my best...

    vts office killed my sisters cat by mistake

    baby chick problem

    I'm so sorry. It always makes me sad to lose any of my babies. Wish I knew what to say to make you feel better, but I guess that's a part of loving these little ones. Again, I'm sorry, and I sure hope the other one makes it.

    baby chick problem

    Anytime we have had problems with our chicks or chickens, we use Purina Dog Chow. Heat water to scalding hot, about a cup. Then, add about a 1/4 cup of Dog Chow and let it sit until the chow is soft and cool. Then, allow the chick to eat. If it won't, use a dropper to feed it a small amount...
