    Araucana thread anyone?

    Soon my Araucanas shall be old enough to be breeding. Just to make sure here, I need to have at least 1 parent tufted to have a chance of any tufted offspring correct ? Out of my 9 Araucanas, I have only 1 cockrel and 1 pullet that are tufted. Is there any value to breeding non-tufted birds with...

    Who might this be ?

    Yay ! Thank you ! We adopted several pullets from a finished FFA project. They had purchased a breeders choice pullet package, and we are trying to sort the little darlings out. Thank you again so much !!

    Raccoon kill?

    Ok, for the record. heard the chickens fussing the other night late, found and killed 3 rampaging coons, but not till after they had killed another hen. Note to self... 12 guage works better than the 22 cal.

    Raccoon kill?

    It was during the night. No skunk smell. We have caught a possum in our live trap before. I've got my trap set again. I need to get a rope tied to it in case it does end up being a skunk. I'm going to have to build a bigger better chicken run. *sighs*

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Just lost my first 2 chickens to what I believe was a raccoon. Heads eaten off, and all innards eaten. Found one under a tree where the crazy bird insisted on roosting instead of the coop. The other was a pretty little cockrel Araucan that I had hopes to use as a breeder. I found him on the...

    Raccoon kill?

    Found 2 of my chickens today when I got home. Both headless, and both had their innards eaten. One was inside of the coop, the other outside under a tree about 20 yards away. The one in the coop was a handsome young BBR Araucana cockrel that I had hopes for. Does it sound like a raccoon to...

    Mixing chicks one month apart.

    I will soon be having a new batch of chicks popping out of the bator. Trouble is, I have other chicks that hatched a month ago. Bad idea to mix ? Do I need to create a second brooder real quick? I thought about placing a "can't we all just get along"' bumper sticker in with them. Not sure if...

    Ok, got to say. Loved the blog !!!! Great day processing ! I got my wife to go for my dream and last year we bought 6.9 acres of dirt. We are now perimeter fenced, set a used double wide mobile home, installed our own septic, (yes up to code !) Ran our own water and 250 ft. of underground...

    How Old Is This Chicken?

    I have a black copper maran. All I know is his foot feathers were there when he was hatched. Some just have more feathery feet then others from what I've been told..
