    I hate to have to say this.....

    I am wondering if the thread that I started... " 11 year old predator....." is the reason for this thread. The topic ended up being closed by a moderator which was a good idea. I love BYC, but have only posted a handful of times. I feel bad that one of the few threads that I started ended...

    Our only predator so far.....11 year old boy

    Papadavid: Don't worry... I don't plan on accusing the child of killing my chicken. You are right that I don't know for sure how my chicken died. I do however know that he was kicking AT my chickens as if he was kicking a football..... That behavior alone is worrisome. If my 12 year of...

    "Hey (whatever the mom's name is), I just wanted to talk to you about little Hellhound's behavior with my birds the other night. The reason I thought I better talk to you about it is that I want to make sure that he understands why that behavior was unacceptable. It may be just a coincedence...

    Our only predator so far.....11 year old boy

    We had a bonfire last weekend and apparently our friends 11 year old son was kicking at the chickens. My mother caught him and told him to get away from the chickens. The next day one of my favorite black stars was dead in the coop. She was just laying there dead... no blood. She...

    Tacky coop & run contest ****Update: It's time to vote!!!!!***

    I love that you keep adding on and your husband is going crazy about it! So funny! I wish I had pictures of a temp coop/run I made last year while waiting "patiently" for my hubby to get the real thing finished. My neighbor liked to come over just to laugh at my carpentry non-skills.

    It's a big shipping crate. I think is is 5'w x 12'L x 4' h . We want to make a coop out of it. First of all, is this a good thing to make a coop out of? If so...... I would LOVE any suggestions that anyone might have to help us along.
