    Help!

    Well.......I think it's the cats. what you need to do is go over to the owners and ask if they will control there cats. P.s. This is not chickmano, it is her daughter chicky:)

    Aha!! Chicken Thief is positively identified.

    I like that logic. We went shopping today for better reinforcement supplies and .22 ammunition. The men of the house are ready to do the job, sans moi. I will be supporting them from a distance, knowing it needs to be done but not happy about it.

    Aha!! Chicken Thief is positively identified.

    Thanks, everyone. Game cam caught that fat raccoon inside the run again last night. Fortunately I had really sealed up the coops after the chickens went to bed so everyone survived the prowler. I like the hot wire suggestion...and maybe the gun if my husband or someone else wants to try it...

    Aha!! Chicken Thief is positively identified.

    We have seriously reinforced the coop and run since we saw this. Will that keep them out or are they just relentless?

    What's Your Chickens names and Why are they named that?

    4 Hatchery Reds - My daughter named one Friendly's b/c she is so friendly and my daughter likes the restaurant. There are 3 others I think look just like her so I call them all Friendly's. 2 - Maybe leghorn cross - the Pearl sisters... who look alike and have white earlobes that look like...

    runny white poo

    They do free range a lot, and my neighbor recently found an egg under one of her bushes. (She got to keep it!). So they could be laying eggs where I can't find them...and the strawberries could explain the poo. Otherwise they all seem to be acting normal...plenty of spunk. I'll keep an eye on...

    runny white poo

    This was unusual and I'm wondering if it could have something to do with the amount of time my hens spent ransacking the strawberry patch yesterday. Our egg count has also been down lately, though...about 4 out of 7 for the last week or more. Any thoughts?

    Free ranging, be honest about losses

    We have 7 hens, all about a year and a half old and we've had them about a year or a little less. We lost one right away ( we started with 8) to our own dogs, but haven't lost anymore since this time last year. Our hens free range all day just about everyday. We lock them in at night and let...

    If you let your chickens free range, do you still have a run?

    Ours were in the run (covered with a tarp) for a long time last winter when we had a lot of snow. We opened the door to let them out, but they hated walking in the snow. I think they would have been miserable without the run during that time.

    How quick will my birds mature?

    Do you have other chickens already in your coop? Our chicks are 6 weeks old and we've had them outside now for 2 weeks with a heat lamp. They're in their own coop away from the adult hens and we let them out together under supervision for a little while each day. We're hoping to have them all...
