    Troublesome neighborhood dogs

    Real 12 gay shotgun blanks. Buy them at any sporting goods store. Firearms safety...a must. An unloaded gun has never killed anyone.

    Crazy mean cockerel

    Well I did it and now feel bad...found the cockerel a good farm home and the first evening he's gone a neighbors dog attacks one of my hens. Would that have happened if the rooster was around ??? He'll have a happy barn yard life I'm sure and hopefully my hen will recover. She's mire or less...

    Dog attack

    A neighbors dog attacked one of my hens. Lots of feathers plucked and a little blood under the right wing. Shes standing on her own and has walked around a bit. Seems to be in shock right now...will let you hold her. Brought her in for the night to be more comfortable outta the heat and not be...

    Nesting box

    Thanks for the response...these are hens just old enough to start laying. Will continue to watch and work on making the nesting boxes a little more attractive to being used.

    What's the secret to getting hens to use the nesting boxes?

    First egg!

    Yayyyyyyyy!!!!!! An egg two days in a row! Looks like we may have started a trend. An egg laying trend that is! Laid this egg in the grass also...so much for putting the fake eggs in the nesting boxes. Both eggs have been on the smaller side size wise...good oval shape and tan color though...

    First egg!

    Well one of the girls has laid her (our) first egg!!! Found it in the grass of the run. I've had the fake eggs in the nesting boxes hoping they would start there. Oh well, excited anyways! We've raised these from chicks!

    Crazy mean cockerel

    He's a Production Red. I'd say bought 5 months old. Bought four pullets but he surprised us. Didn't want a rooster just hens for the eggs. Just wanted some backyard chickens...now cant even enjoy the back yard! He's come after me, my wife, granddaughter and the neighbors puppy.

    Crazy mean cockerel

    He tried jumping up clawing and spurring me today. I put him flat on his back. He's definitely going somewhere! Are they all like this?

    Mean rooster

    Well it's looking more and more like the rooster is going to have to go! He's just plain mean aggressive. If their all like this one I don't know why anyone would want to have one around. He's a Production Red...pretty one to and young. He's already pecked me twice and my wife once and just...

    Behavior

    Just walked out in the yard to check on them...he trotted across a ways stopped beside me, paused then nailed me on top of the foot. Young birds, Production Reds that haven't even started laying yet. Maybe he's just asserting his dominance.
