I asked because many people I work with have done it with success but I was looking for more input. We have no fox or coyote as there is a 4 lane highway that backs my property and a main road to my front. The most we get is a rough coon before it gets hit by a car.

Hey all -
I have a SEVERE tick issue, I mean bad. I want to add guineas to my property - but do not want to build them a separate shelter. I live in a wooded area, would they be okay on their own roosting in trees?
Well if he doesn't get his act together he's going to be fox food - because he's so petrified of my hens he refuses to go in the coop at night. Hope he catches on pretty soon!
There's a good Cochin breeder near Highland, NY. There are a lot of farm swap groups on Facebook you can join. There's a Svart Hona & Swedish Flower Hen breeder in Highland Falls, NY.
This is my new patridge cochin rooster. I got him from a local breeder who had a few too many roos. To my knowledge he's a pretty good example of the breed
Huh....that's interesting. I saw one of my EE hens attack her after she was injured, not sure if she is the culprit or not. I was thinking about getting a roo to establish some order in my flock and to add some protection
So, title says it all. My BO literally was scalped 2 days ago. This is the second hen that has had this injury, the first was humanely euthanized since her jaw was also shattered. I've posted in a farm group on Facebook and there have been many theories - another hen, a young hawk with crappy...
I have (2) D'Uccle pullets for sale or trade. Was sold as Cochin pullets, they are not so!! They are getting picked on ruthlessly by my hens so they need a new home!
Open to trades for standard sized pullets.
