    I feel like I have a different chicken...

    My Russian orloffs just started molting after a few days of freezing weather an snow storm. They are only 9 months old. Is that normal?

    Predator proof locks?

    Predator proof locks?

    I use this security defender house good lock drop Amazon. It works great. Just spritz a little wd40 to prevent freezing or rusting in the hinge

    My new chicks

    Thank you forthe advice. Someone said to put rocks in the Chick's water tray to keep them from drowning. I washed them but didn't think to sterilize them. Should I put them on the amprolium now. Do they really need the rocks?

    How can I train my dog not to chase my chickens?

    I used it on my shepherd for excessive barking. I beeped then shocked. Later just needed to beep and now she behaves just by wearing the collar. But watch some Youtube on it.
