    Moving, and need advice on predator proofing

    So I am getting ready to move. I have heard there are cougars in the area, and pretty sure one was spotted on the property last week. And I know there are raccoons, and weasels as well as I'm sure coyotes and Foxes. I've dealt with coyotes, Foxes, and possums at this current place. But how do I...

    Prolapse Vent, Coccidiosis, death of at least 3 chickens...

    I am stumped. I can't find anything online about these issues. A friend contacted me the other day asking if I knew what was going on with her chickens. She has lost 3 of them already.

    Should we try to adopt a neighbor’s chickens?

    You can break them of that habit. I have about 20 hens, and at one point every one of them were eating the eggs. I put golf balls in the egg boxes (it hurts their beaks when they try to peck them) and collected the eggs as often as I could, while also offering extra calcium (such as grit and...

    Mites??

    I rescued 2 pair of bantams, the neighbors of a friend of mine were just going to kill them if no one took them, so I got them. After getting them home I noticed their legs where pretty messed up. I've soaked them in Epson salt water, and then sprayed them with some poultry mite spray I had on...
