    Should I try and kill this bobcat?

    We have a bobcat but he comes only at night and we free range with an auto door. My philosophy is to have a few more chickens than I need. Surprisingly, with the auto door this number stays pretty constant EXCEPT this time of year when the mammals go nuts feeding babies. Right now they are...

    Guess on breed, gender?

    From MurrayMcMurray .. Rarest of the rare, my guess is cream legbar? I usually hatch my own fertiles but a fox went grocery shopping in our coop one night when the auto door got stuck. My one roo, Donnie, went down along with three hens. Actually, the fox was timid to enter (saw via cam) but...

    Rattlesnake!

    Big fat viper under a Rubbermaid lid in the yard, slithered under the enclosed wooden coop. We’ve had oak snakes steal eggs but not lately (Saw on security cam) because we closed up holes. I have two traps I’ve used to get non-venomous snakes in. What bait for a rattler? Suggestions? Not...

    POOR HATCH

    Yes, I have the thermometer that is built in and a separate therm/humidity gage inside and I have a security cam on that gage so I don’t have to open up. But I have been aiming for at least 50% so you are right, that could be it. However, I did a PM of one I was sure was dead: no movement 3...

    POOR HATCH

    I brought in 25 eggs from 8 Wyandotte’s and two breeds of rooster, Wyandotte and Americauna. They were fresh, very clean and I put them in a FARM INNOVATORS 2150 with an egg turner. I candled 2 samples on day 10, they were ok. Humidity was about 65 on both gages I use. Temp 99-100. On Day...

    26 day incubated Toulouse Geese eggs

    four have pipped but way below air pocket line! This is my first goose egg attempt, had lots of luck with chicks. Do I need to pin an air hole in air pocket? They are active and chirping. I started with 17, have 12 now. Jen in Tallahassee

    Crippled goose

    i bought seven Toulouse goslings from Murray MacMurray. They are about 3 months old, close to full grown. I have raised geese before but never encountered this problem. Any goose I have ever lost was predator-related. One gosling was having leg issues and I added niacin and he got stronger...
