    My chickens jump the fence!

    I have netting over my run to keep them in and hawks out. I bought it at Lowe's and it's to go over fruit trees to keep birds off the fruit! It's worked great for over a year.getting ready to put more over a new run. Still may clip wings on the new pullets till they're used to it.

He's a lot more excited about it than I was sometimes, ;). Don't understand people objecting to crowing and chicken chatting. I love it when my hens...

    Hi all I'm having trouble with my hens pulling tail feathers out of my rooster. He is new in the coop with 2 , 2 year old hens. He's probably 5 months old and is being hen pecked. I've read of a spray to stop this, but will those feathers grow back. They aren't crowded at all maybe bored :( .
