    Dog killed neighbor’s chickens

    I really appreciate all the support and further advice, but I do want to clear somethings up real quick. I saw that other post myself, and it isn’t my neighbor (the poster lives in a different state). But the situations are similar in many ways. Also, I don’t believe my neighbors are “nasty”...

    Dog killed neighbor’s chickens

    Thanks everyone! I have spoken to the young man and his parents, all of whom were sorry. He raked the leafs in my yard and we called it a lesson learned. I have since installed locks and posted more signs. As for my neighbor and his chickens- his wife got back with me. Informed me they didn’t...

    Dog killed neighbor’s chickens

    This last Friday a little boy next door went into my yard to retrieve his football (whole other issue there) and let my dogs out. He told me of it right away and I started trying to track them down. Around 20 minuets went by when I heard two shots. My dogs came running home, covered in their own...

    Are they big enough to slaughter?

    Here is a pick of the meat birds I’ve been raising. I’m not exactly sure on their age (stupid me, I lost track), so I’m wondering if they’re ready yet or if they need another week. This is my first time raising chickens of any kind. TIA! BE779A21-F240-4B07-AEFF-EDA303EAFDE7 by Kaycie Jones...

    Raising meat chicks outside in winter?

    Thanks for the replies! I adjusted their lamp so it was closer to them. Since then they hang around it when sleeping or resting, but they're not huddled in a tight circle. I too was concerned about the clamp working, so I attached a construction clamp to it my husband uses when building...

    Is straw okay for litter?

    Thanks for all the help everyone! It is a vacuum waterer that I use, and my husband figured out tonight that it wasn't level. I thought I was crazy, because I was having to refill it four or five times a day, and I couldn't imagine 12 chicks drinking that much! We made some adjustments for now...
