I don't close the door on mine in the evenings. Is that a bad thing? They just come and go as they will. Granted, I am within ity limits and have a small flock.
I saw a black cat on the fence the other day, but I think he had second thoughts of coming into the yard when he saw the chickens...
Howdy folks from yet anothe Texan. I'm in Waco and fairly new to the chicken raising. I have Ameracaunas as well. Although I also have a hodge podge of others that I have no clue what they are.
Howdy folks,
I received 18 cute little chicks about 3 weeks ago. I ordered 10 Amercaunas pullets and received extra "... males to keep the chicks warm." Problem is, I can only keep 5 (preferrably females) and I have no clue how to tell the difference other than colors. A neat observation...
