    The Olive-Egger thread!

    If you can, I recommend getting something called a "uninterruptable power supply" or UPS. They sell them at best buy and maybe even walmart. They are designed to keep power for many hours if you lose power. It is like a big battery/surge protector you plug your stuff into. It is absolutely...

    Cats moved in. Letting them stay if i can't find them homes?

    I have 14 barn cats, and over 150 chickens, of all sized..and have not had a cat kill or harm one yet. Honestly, the best thing you can do to prevent death is to feed the kitties. Even some cheap ol Meow Mix. They hunt and eat to feed themselves if they are starving, if they are fed and not...

    Has anyone ever trapped a fox?

    Taking the pictures is easy, i just put the camera up the cage. They are very large dog sized cages. I do not think you could catch one with a smaller cat/raccoon sized trap.

    Thank you so much. I got the rooster for this breeding over a year ago, so this is a long awaited venture

    Has anyone ever trapped a fox?

    Big dog live traps work just fine. I have caught these three over the last 18 months. Use a fresh dead poultry body as bait. If i have a death, that is what i do with it. Make sure to tie the leg of the bait to the bottom of the trap, so the fox cant just lean over the pedal, take it, and walk...

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    I just wanted to share some of my olive egger pullets. They are just coming into lay. They have Marans mothers and a rumpless Araucana father. The pullets came out 90% rumpless while their male counterparts are 90% tailed, very interesting. The males are also have a lot more gold, they are...

    Fox attacks

    It isn't as hard as people think it is to trap a fox. I have trapped four foxes over the last two years. Three reds, and one gray. Each time I used a dead chicken or guinea as bait. It has to be a fresh kill. I would have taken your killed hen and used her in a large dog trap. Make sure to tie a...

    Injured leg at "elbow" - how set?

    is there anyway you can post a picture of it? it may be a slipped tendon in which case there is very little that can be done long term.
