    Rodents or skunks or something, oh my!

    Thanks, all! We are trying to figure out if rats or skunks are the issue, but a cement floor is going in no matter what! I was reading the post on rat poisons too. I hate to use poisons, so I have to figure that out still.

    Rodents or skunks or something, oh my!

    Hi all! We have had chickens for about four years. Last week for the first time, something has managed to burrow into the coop. A neighbor suggested a cement floor, but I worry about the chickens landing when they fly down from the perch. Any simple, safe and effective way to secure a room...

    Meet Ace, the punk rock rooster

    He is a beauty. I just need to find homes for the trio now. Too many roosters.

    Three cockerels and two old roosters...

    I figured as much with the breeding issue. Which is why I figured giving away or culling needs to happen.

    When do they start to get hormonal for you?

    Three cockerels and two old roosters...

    Well, based on reading prior to posting this, the plan was to give away or cull. I am not sure how tasty Silkey meat is as the little guys are tiny still. The give away plan is still there unless any of them show agression. Then they just need to go. After posting this, the plan is still the...

    Three cockerels and two old roosters...

    So, I have read so many threads about roosters here that I am afraid the advice I get will be to cull, cull, and cull again. But, being hopeful, I thought I would ask again...just in case. Our flock was two Silkey roosters, one cuchin lady, two Americuna ladies, two buff Orpington ladies, all...

    Meet Ace, the punk rock rooster

    This is what happens when the baby peepers do not have the sense to come out of the rain. Silly things!

    Meet Ace, the punk rock rooster

    His father is a Silkey. His momma a Rhode Island Red/Silkey mix. Sadly, he got his father's feet. The extra toes and feathered feet can be trouble when they are free ranging!

    Out of six baby peepers, three are roosters. Here is one of the little beastie!

    Three of the new peepers!

    Look at your beauties! That rooster is simply gorgeous! My girls were following me around today helping me weed. By that, I mean standing right where I needed to keep swinging the grub hoe so they could get the best worms. They were hilarious. Snap, Crackle, and Pop (the three black and...

    Just switched to sand...but deep litter sounds good...

    I have a coop that is 9x10...I hope that is big enough for all the new peepers to join the other chickerbockers this spring. I LOVE your description of the deep litter...I am going to have to give it a try! Now I just need to figure out how I will be able to open the door with the deeper...
