    Raccoon deterents

    I have to say, our raccoons had left our chickens alone. I think probably from them roosting at night in the tree that maybe it helped them get the guineas? Either way that is a big ol that SUCKS. Geesh. I'd be furious because I'm with you, at least take the entire bird! Aside from your husband...

    Can't decide the breed I want!

    Quote: Thank you. And thank you for the great information. Yeah, the Austra's and Maran's are really gorgeous birds and I'm considering those too. I think one reason I've wanted a RIR, was that I think they're gorgeous, but I am seeing they tend toward temperamental (which ours were (the buff...

    Can't decide the breed I want!

    Quote: Thank you so much Brahma's are pretty gorgeous birds. Just looked them up. Looking at Austra's as well since I love that black feathering. (I love crows for that reason too. lol) I'm having issues finding a lot of people selling anything other than RIR's around WA. Mostly, I'm looking...

    Can't decide the breed I want!

    Quote: Thanks! I've seen those in catalogs and such a while back, but unless I buy them from a place like McMurray, I'm not sure I've seen anyone sell them anywhere near WA state, where I live. Where'd you get yours from?

    Can't decide the breed I want!

    So I'm leaning toward possibly the Maran, Australorp, or Ameraucana (one), and then one RIR and one BR possibly. Would their personalities get along or what?

    Can't decide the breed I want!

    Quote: Thanks so much for the reply, and help. We won’t be getting any males at all. We live in a neighborhood and I don’t think our neighbors would much appreciate the noise :p Quote: Thanks so much for the reply. Wow, that first picture is a beautiful female! I don’t think I’ve ever heard...

    Can't decide the breed I want!

    Hey all! So it's been awhile since I've been on here. The last time was really I think after my last Buff Orpington mix passed away. Just shut down the idea of chickens for a while. Grieved for quite a bit. Now I feel like I still see that last hen out there in her coop sometimes. Miss them...

    Some beginner questions...

    I'm wondering if those have even tried eating them? Before iamcuriositycat posted her info about eggs, I just honestly thought of them as duck eggs and went ew! Normal first thought having never eaten them before of course, but maybe if they hadn't tried them, it's only because they don't know...

    Some beginner questions...

    iamcuriositycat Oh okay, I will keep that in mind. I'm not TOO concerned with ever getting pets that are older and not having them as "lovable" pets though. Nearly every one of our animals we've ever gotten--whether rabbits, goats, chickens, birds, dogs, cats, etc.--have generally been pets that...

    duckboatprincess Thank you so much. I will check out that thread. iamcuriositycat Really? Oh that's pretty awesome. I don't think I've ever eaten a ducks egg in my life. I'm a huge fan of cooking so that's pretty cool that they do so well in that. So can not all males be kept together? Do I...

    Ah okay. That's good to hear. I just found something for two FREE Cayuga Ducks that are male down the street from where I live. Anyone heard of them? They make good pets? I can't find too much info about them.
