    Im just devastated

    Hey there, A really easy solution is a motion sensor high pressure sprinkler. If you hook it to a 55 gallon drum of water and white vinegar, then secure it on the roof of your coop, anything that comes near will get it - and get it good. the water may not bother them after a while, but the...

    ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS ISSUE???

    Which eggs does he not think he can eat? The bantams or the ducks? Whichever, I think I would order some lizard eggs of some kind on Ebay and make him two plates of scrambled eggs: 1 being the Giant Man-Eating Iguana and the 1 a nice plate of Bantam or Duck eggs. Let him know that they both...

    Now I have more to worry about besides feral cats..coyotes.

    We don't see many coyotes here in - I know they are here, I am surrounded by woods - but the raccoons must be eating them because those little beasts are at the top of the food chain around here. It gets REAL bad once they eat one of your animals - then they ALL come for a meal. You will have...

    My newly hatched Seramas -pic heavy-

    Adorable little babies! I am on my third attempt at incubating Seramas. Its been a not so funny comedy of errors. Bought a batch from Frank and Deena but they got lost in shipment and were a week late. I put them in, but nothing developed at all. She sent me a second batch and they arrived...

    Raising Worms

    Please please tell me how to do the meal worm thing! I tried red worms but it is way too humid here in Southeast Texas so all I grew was a penicillin plant! Is there a website? How long to get actual meal worms?

    Furious!

    We have a very large rooster who is the BIG MAN ON CAMPUS - his name is Flash and his pic is my avatar. I learned from my Dad that in the world of chickens, there can only be one boss so he kept a fly swatter hanging on the door of the coop. Whoever walked in took the swatter and had to watch...

    Pony locked in trailer for four days now.. UPDATE April 21st PAGE 2

    That's how I got my thoroughbred, Twiggy. I drove by and saw her tied to a tree. All 17 hands of her, once a regal race horse, starved and tied to a tree with no water, chewing at the bark of the tree for nutrition. There was no one in sight so I untied her and tied her to the tailgate of my...

    Living with Pet Chickens?

    Does anyone "live" with their chickens? I read some posts here and there where it seems the chicks and/or hens are more indoor pets than livestock. I deeply love my chickens and although I wouldn't want to do it all the time - it would be nice if I could invite my hens inside occasionally...

    THings to do while waiting for the chicks to hatch?

    Get ready to document your hatch. That's what I did. Do you have a camcorder? Get that book out and learn about stop action photography - that is very cool. It took me all day to figure that out, get the tripod just right, get the angle I wanted, then make sure the rest of my room looked...

    Moles!

    We have moles too. I have not heard of the egg thing. Are they rotten eggs? Right now my tom cat takes care of them quite efficiently. He has no shortage of critters to chase though - I will have to try this out. Just stuff a rotten egg in a hole?

    Does anybody get FLACK from Family and Friends for having Chickens?

    Not family (I'm a rancher's daughter so they actually made fun of my corporate job!), but people at work did - that is until I took a week long vacation in Colorado funded completely from my little poultry enterprise. THAT shut them up.
