    If you have a dog.....

    I have 3 chihuahuas and they get along fine w/ the chickens. I would never leave them unattended though.

    Help eggs to hot to keep

    Thanks ya'll! There's still much to learn about chickens, even though I've had them over a year. New challenges constantly pop up. Honestly, w/out BYC I don't know how I could keep the hens alive!

    Help eggs to hot to keep

    Oh great! Thanks to everyone for your responses. One more crazy question. A few times I was able to check for the eggs before dark. I found the Serama hen sitting on the green egg the other hen had laid. When I retrieve that egg it is extremely hot from the Serama's body heat. I guess...

    Help eggs to hot to keep

    How do you change the time of day hens lay their eggs? It's been around 100 degrees lately, and 2 of my 3 hens have started laying after 12pm. Since those eggs are in the heat all day by the time I come home from work, I 've had to throw them out for 3 weeks now. Note: Usually, they would...

    Killed Corn Snake**GRAPHIC**

    Ok, I read the rules for Predators and Pests, and have corrected the title of the thread by adding "GRAPHIC". That was my mistake, and I'm sorry. I don't think I violated any other rules. My intention was not to offend anyone nor to try to force anyone to...

    Killed Corn Snake**GRAPHIC**

    I didn't know what kind of snake it was (nor did I care), when I killed it. It's the same as the photos of Corn Snakes on the identification sites for my area. At almost 3 ft. long (it's constricted quite a bit in the pics.), it can still inflict a bite. I understand their place in the...

    Killed Corn Snake**GRAPHIC**

    Look at this Corn Snake I killed near an old pool pump. I was pulling up a gigantic dandelion when I saw it's tail move. I ran and got a shovel and killed it. I have never killed a snake this big before... totally gross. I fed it to the chickens. Normally, when I pull dandelions I am careful...

    I haven't watered my chickens for months...

    I love this idea. My 4 hens are in 2 seperate coops/runs, so I need a much smaller version. What could I use that's smaller than the rain barrel? Also, how is that pvc pipe attached to the barrel? How is that nipple attached to the pipe? THANKS!
