    Fox in the daylight

    I have trail cams that I get pics sent to my phone for hunting in the timber around me. I get pics of foxes about every day for a year. I put one behind the coop about 60’ and it’s been there the last few months. I’ve got pics of a particular cat and possum, rabbit ect. This morning I got a fox...

    Corn for heat? Is it myth or no?

So we have been giving them some cracked corn every couple days. Only about 3 cups for 11 birds. We’d like to know as well. Thanks for...

    Are these good breeds?

    We started getting out first eggs Friday!!! We have had 8. We have greens and browns so far!! We have had 3 of those freeze, well, we think they froze. They were out in the middle of the coop, (below the roost) or maybe fallen? I don’t know if they can lay while roosting or not. Beginners. They...
