    Snake!!!! (Graphic for some)

    I had the same thought. If he'd have ate more, he wouldn't have gotten back out. It probably would have used the heat lamp to help digest too!

    Yep, it was 1/2" gap between the bottom of the screen door and the concrete floor.

    Snake!!!! (Graphic for some)

    Now have blocks, bricks, and hardware cloth covering all holes. There were few to begin with. The biggest gap was 1/2".

    Snake!!!! (Graphic for some)

    First time for everything I suppose. I've had lots of snakes in the layer house before and eathen eggs but have never had any bother chicks before. I have my meat babies right on the front screen porch. I'd checked on temp not 10 minutes before and then I started to hear chicks peeping while I...

    Hey TheMother, Any luck on your birds? I got mine yesterday, but it was nearly a fiasco. I called my postmaster yesterday because the tracking on my shipment of birds had never moved from a distribution center. God bless my postmaster because he actually drove 100 miles to the distribution...

    It's good to know they get along with goats. I have 25 kids that would love to pester something other than their mothers or the donkey. I might just give them a try next year.

    I've never considered geese before, but may in the future. I've never educated myself concerning geese. Any different tactics for raising geese compared to chicks, turkey or guineas?

    Okay, that's good to know. My other shipments of birds and other non living packages have been spot on in the past, so I thought I should atleast ask! If you don't mind me asking, what did you get last week?

    Hey all, It's been 8 weeks since my Doms arrived. All are happy and healthy without too much drama, minus a death(free chick), one with severe scissor beak, and the order not filled correctly. They've settled into their new house and are glad to be out of the brooder. Since the brooder is...

    New to BYC

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Definitely not new to chickens. Personally, I've kept a flock for 15 years and my mother and grandfather before me. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I recently butched my old spent hens, currently have 16 in the...
