My chickens yard is half wooded with big Tulip poplars. then there is some smaller trees that provide good cover. I personally have never lost a chicken to a hawk or owl and they are definitely in the area. I also have an A-frame for daytime hideouts. I would guess that your bigger issues will...
Does anyone know if this is poisonous to chickens? Google says it’s wonderberry. Idk if that is correct. Thought I should ask before these weeds go in the chicken pen! I couldn’t find any real answers online.
I was surprised too. They only problem is that I like to hatch different types of chicks lol so I always give my EE different eggs like the ones I got from you. And since the OE hides her clutch we haven’t given her any others. Obviously my dad isn’t the most observant chicken owner since I...

I picked up a GLW chick and two light Brahma chicks yesterday. You can see the GLW next to the CGs. Mom couldn’t have cared less that I added more. One Brahma was riding on top of her 10 mins after intro. I think I’ll sell the brahmas when they are bigger. I think they are too big a bird for...
