    How To Keep Chickens Out of Flower Beds and Gardens

    We have 2 motion activated sprinklers that are working great to keep the chickens out of the landscaping.

    Food Scraps?

    No, only organic feed and some fruit..berries and bananas. If their feed has too much flax seed the yolks taste fishy to me.

    Any Poultry Processors in the Central Texas Area???

    UPDATE: My roosters were adopted, but I was within a week of taking them down to Eden's Cove so they could help me process them. While they're not exactly in the DFW area, they were the closest place I could find. Fran's Fryers did respond to my inquiry, but they do not do private processing...

    Any Poultry Processors in the Central Texas Area???

    I've got 2 roosters that need to be processed. Eden's Cove is 3 hours away, and if Fran's Fryers won't do roosters I'm out of options (plus I'm not completely sure I can do it myself). Does anyone have any other suggestions? I see that this thread is 2 years old, so i thought some new ones...

    One more time just to be sure....are these hens or roosters?

    At this point I'm not going to be convinced anything is a hen until it lays an egg.

    Thanks annanimal! vtguania, they are Rhode Island Reds, and yep, the tail feathers on that one are what have me concerned. I have a Buff Orpington rooster I'm trying to rehome now....2 if this RIR turns out to be a rooster too.

    Whew! At least I have one! I'm close to 75% roosters around here! Thanks for replying.

    Buff Orpington Rooster in DFW area needs to be rehomed.

    I bought 4 "pullets" from a guy in Oak Cliff and at least 2 of them have turned out to be roosters. I obviously need to rehome at least one of them. He's about 16 weeks old, has been fed organic feed, and pasture raised in a pesticide free acre for the last 3 months.

    How many roosters do you see?

    :( So far they're all great together as a flock, but I only bought 4 chicks, and 2 of them have turned out to be roosters!!! One very expensive Williams Sonoma coop, 3 months of organic feed, and lots of time and energy later I'm wondering if i'm going to get any eggs at all.

    Bummer. He acts like a hen...lets me pet him and pick him up,etc.

    Aaarggghh! The top picture is the one we were hoping is the hen. They're 15-16 weeks old.

    Can I feed the pulp from the juicer?

    I kind of wonder how much nutritional value the pulp has after you've squeezed the juice out. I use a manual, masticating (wheatgrass technically, but it handles just about everything) juicer so it's still pretty moist, but I'm not sure I'd make food for the family out of it.
