    Chicks VS Rats VS Treadle Feeder

    I can't wait for the filthy little creatures to be gone. I don't even go in the backyard after dusk! Thanks for the props on Chickentopia. I want my girls to be safe and happy. I love those cute little feathered butts! Hubby thinks I'm nuts but he indulges me because he knows it's useless to...

    Chicks VS Rats VS Treadle Feeder

    I thought i had a different video that was even worse. It was the same day, just a few more of the horrible thieves. I think you get the point with this video though. I shudder to think how many are actually living in my yard and in the overhang of my house. They eaten holes through the soffit...

    Chicks VS Rats VS Treadle Feeder

    I keep thinking I've got it right but I don't see it. To me, it's awful. I'm sure everyone that's had an infestation can imagine. We've all had our own horror stories.

    Chicks VS Rats VS Treadle Feeder

    I wish I could pay the video that triggered the motion sensor. I honestly nearly cried. I stopped counting at 19. They were flooding in from every angle... down walls, fun under the coop, from outside of chickentopia, from everywhere! I love your Nakajima for your experience. I can definitely...

    Chicks VS Rats VS Treadle Feeder

    Love this thread! I'm having a HORRIBLE rat issue an I'm in "the city", not a farm or the country. The kind of neighborhood where houses are only about 50 feet apart. I literally just hit the button to buy the Rat Proof Chicken Feeder that is spoken so highly of in these forums and many others...

    Snow in New Orleans! NEED HELP PLEASE!

    It's going into the 40s today and will be dipping back into the 30s tonight. I'm thinking they'll be ok back in Chickentopia once it warms up today. They've dealt with short burts of cold in the past. We do get some cold snaps every winterm just not blizzards! lol

    Snow in New Orleans! NEED HELP PLEASE!

    Only one of my girls is still laying - the other is in retirement - and the one that is sure as hell isn't doing anything in this weather!

    Snow in New Orleans! NEED HELP PLEASE!

    I think they got wet becasue of the temp. Yes, it was snowing but when the snow landed on their warm badies, it melted I guess. They just sat there and let it - didn't shake it off or move at all. They are NOLA girls - they know Mardi Gras and King Cake, not Snowapalooza and Ice. :)

    Awful looking cyst on cheek but doesn't seem to bother

    My australorp/silkie mix has an awful looking growth on her cheek. She has had it for awhile but I notice today it has gotten ENORMOUS. She eats well and still lays about 3/4 eggs week. She certainly doesn't act like anything is bothering her at all. I'm attaching pics and hoping for some wisdom...
