    Buff Polish rooster or hen?

    It's not a bantam so that is irrelevant

    Buff Polish rooster or hen?

    Well.. I think everyone has me convinced. Will reporting this to the hatchery do any good?

    Buff Polish rooster or hen?

    What about the orange eyes? All of my polish hens have always had dark brown eyes and only my rooster ever had the light colored eyes and large nostrils... is it possible he is developing slowly in result of a bear attack followed by a hawk attack?

    Buff Polish rooster or hen?

    He isn't full grown yet though. I know what full grown polish roosters look like I've had one, but not from chick age..

    Buff Polish rooster or hen?

    I ordered a buff roo from mypetchicken.com and received him as well as my two barred rocks and two new Hampshire red on September 7th as day-old chicks, so next week they will be 5 months old. We previously had a buff roo that died and our intention was to replace him, however I am beginning to...

    Bears broke into my coop and ate my girls

    The picture quality from my phone isn't superb. This is Holly, my only remaining RIR. She's 4 months old and we found her tucked tightly under our deck with her chest cut open and her wing partially sliced from her body. We took her to my mom's work and they stitched her up and she's still...

    Bears broke into my coop and ate my girls

    I'm north of Tahoe area, Sierra Buttes. We have a horse rated power box because the people around us said that was the best for around here. It's probably similar to the cow rated if not the same. I'm sorry to hear about your turkeys. I hope we both can avoid further losses.

    Bears broke into my coop and ate my girls

    Mountain lions migrate with the deer herds up here so they are more in the valley than where I live. Though they are also starving due to California's democratic voters mucking up the forestry and hunting laws. The warden whom I spoke with said I can shoot the bear if and ONLY IF my human life...

    Most likely predator? Down two chickens

    That's true. I just thought I'd add the possibility. I only skimmed this and it reminded me of my friend's flock. I hope you solve your mystery, though. It breaks my heart to lose my chickens.

    Bears broke into my coop and ate my girls

    We have a shotgun and buck shot as well as two thirty-thirty hunting rifles. I live in the literal middle of the woods so our animal control is fish & game only as far as I know. Everyone here charges big bucks to trap anything - even squirrels, I mean really... A lot of our difficulties derive...

    Bears broke into my coop and ate my girls

    Personally threatened is a definite. The coop is ten feet away from the back door and there were claw marks on the deck and pacing points all around the fence and our front yard around our cars and hot tub. My family won't even go outside at night unless we're in a group with an air horn, mace...

    Most likely predator? Down two chickens

    I don't mean to sound unreasonable but my friend had a similar situation where she couldn't figure out what was catching her chickens and smearing them around her yard but she was up late one evening and caught a man in her yard in her chicken coop. Some people are just sick. I hope you get...
