    All Hens killed by Dog

    I am so sorry. I love my girls too, can't imagine loosing them that way. I used 1/4 hardware cloth for my run too. Since I have an electric wire at the base of my chain link fence to keep my dogs from digging out, I added another wire around the base of the girls' run as well. Usually one...

    Best egg layer?!?

    I like the way you think!!!😁 Mine are not just chickens, they are PET chickens, there is a big difference 😉😉. When they can no longer lay, I figure they can still keep bugs out of my yard.

    Best egg layer?!?

    I started keeping chickens 5 years ago, a friend talked my into getting Sex Links. They are friendly, calm, great layers. The first two years I got an egg a day summer and winter. I free range them part time, when I am able to be outside and watch them, otherwise I put them in a chicken...

    Enemies in the gate: An awful puppy

    I'm not a fan of shock collars but might make an exception for this guy. If you would use it, you need to make him think the shock is coming from the chickens, not you. Otherwise, he'll just wait until you are out of sight to go after another chicken.

    Enemies in the gate: An awful puppy

    I'm not a fan of shock collars, but think I might make an exception in this case. But, you need to make him think the shock is coming from the girls, not you. Put the collar on and as soon as he starts to evil eye one of the girls, zap him. Shouldn't take long for him to start believing those...

    Devastated! Warning Graphical

    I have a run like that, only it has wheels so I can move my girls around. I don't use this as a permanent run, just for day time. If you want to use it full time, you need to bury wire to prevent digging under. I have covered my runs with 1/2" hardware cloth, much more effective than regular...
