    Success story

    Over the last few years i had a reoccuring visit from a Mink. He'd get in, kill a duck or two, try to drag them out the tiny hole he came in through and leave. Then come back a month or so later and do it again. I'd reinforce the defences but he'd still find a way in. Last year i got some...

    gender Identification

    My 4 week old chicks are starting to get little combs forming, they all look like little feather klingons. Some combs are more pronounced than others, is this a sign of their gender?

    Yard birds

    I'm planning on building a coop with a run but i was also planning on letting the birds out to free range in the yard and such. Will they return to the coop/run at night? or do i need to call them/chase them home? T

    Squirrels in my coop

    squirrels by nature are very lazy, so you can use that to trap them. Common snare in the wild is to take a stick and lean it up against a tree. The squirrel would rather run up the stick than to the tree and climb the tree. So what you do is make a small noose and drape it on the stick so...
