    Framac, Completely understand, I appreciate the heads up as I was obviously misinformed! At least it sort of justifies my "chicken math" about getting 18 chickens lol.. We knew that there would be predator issues given where we live, I had just wished it didn't happen so soon! A hard lesson...

    Framac, I was under the impression that if they threatened livlihood that was different. Sadly, I see i was misinformed. Tented deer netting sounds promising... I still wouldn't mind shooting them but if it's against the law, well, I am law abiding so I'll follow. I suppose I'm just angry and...

    Good Morning Everyone! Been a bit of a lurker lately but I had some questions for some of our CNY peeps. I had a hawk attack. I lost one of my two EE's and I'm nursing a Red back to health - she had a smaller puncture on her side, has trouble walking but she's eating and drinking and standing...

    8-9 week old chickens Odd "relaxing" pose

    Ok, I'm just wondering if anyone else has chickens that lay on their sides? I have two Red links that instead of fluffing up and setting their tooshies on the ground they lean to their side and lay/ "lounge". They walk and eat fine, show no signs of any pain and I've poked and prodded to see...

    I'm thinkin a Roo... Bantam sex confirmation please!

    Probably too difficult to tell breed yes? I was thinking OEGB but i could be off. *sigh* at least its looking like only one roo... of course he's going to be the smallest other than his sissy as we only have 2 bantams, should be humerous with 17 ladies and one "man" lol...

    I'm thinkin a Roo... Bantam sex confirmation please!

    So this is Choco... my youngest son's Bantam from the Bantam bin. Have no clue on the breed but I'm thinking at about 4 weeks old this little guy is, well, a GUY Any agreement out there? I'm just lookin at that nicely RED looking comb... and his little wattles are coming in reddish already...

    What breed are these 3/4 weeks old we think

    They look a lot like my red sex links did but I honestly am not an expert, perhaps a closer photo? Might give a bit more detail to look at.

    Insulating a coop???

    As I live in WAY Upstate, NY we do metal roofing, one it's inexpensive, and two, the snow just slides right off. But keep in mind there are years we can get 9 FEET of snow over two to three days

    Need a small coop door? Sorry if I'm sounding dumb lol...

    Ok, I'm converting the back part of a VERY small house on our property to a coop and will have an open door with a ramp going up. Closes, locks all that happy stuff. If a critter can get in then they probably deserve a chicken dinner kind of coop. Do I NEED a little chicken door? I'm curious...

    would a feed store sell EE's as amerucauna?

    I had the same thing happen, which was just me not knowing. My "Ameraucana's" are most definitely EE's :) But I'm not worried, they're sweet little chickies that'll add variety to my eggs. That's all I really wanted anyway!
