    What predator is killing your chickens?

    So my chicken thief was back again last night, we had a heavy rain. I found this one and only one this morning, it clearly has 5 toes and no nails that show. I've looked at weasel prints online and they show front and back tracks. I just got a job, been unemployed for the last 2...

    What predator is killing your chickens?

    Well perhaps someone will know the answer to my question. I came out this morning and found all kind of prints outside the door once again. Well this time no Chickens were missing, thank god! They were small prints, don't look anything like a raccoon, but more like a cats. Well I have cats...

    Thinking of giving up

    Thanks for the input Mutt, I left the porch light on to see if this may discourage critters of the night. And I have several Co-Ops near me and I'm going to check them out, I haven't heard of hot wire but I never know. Good thing I know an electrician, I need the power hooked up to my garage...

    Thinking of giving up

    I'm in tears, its been such a hard time for me the last few weeks. I've lost 5 birds in the last week to what I believe was a fox attack in the bean field. After being confined to their coop for 2 days I let the remaining chickens out. Forward a week later, everything was great until today, I...

    Free range chickens and predators

    I don't leave it up and open at night and I also keep a real close eye in them all day. Just want them to get some fresh air. In the evening the coop is closed up hopefully nothing gets in. There is no chicken door, just 2 large door secured every night.

    Free range chickens and predators

    I so want to let my feather flock free range but once they go into the bean field they don't listen to me at all. So I kept them in their coop, gets dusty and hot in there so I came up with a idea. I had an old screen from a door and it fits just about perfectly, not happy chickens but they...

    Free range chickens and predators

    One of my RIR's disappeared after roaming Tuesday night no sign of her. Thinking she got sepeated from the flock she would be hiding in the empty well house or outside the coop door in the morning. Well after my chickens were under house arrest for the last 2 days, I finally let them out. 4...

    Is it a chicken or duck?

    Strange but serious question, one of my 7 week old Black Australops is making noises that are sounding like a duck. Lately they've (the band of hooligans) have discovered my neighbors 1200 acre bean field and love to make a run for it. Most of the time I catch them before they dive in, I always...

    BYC Guinea hen club

    I'm raising 4 Guineas along with 15 (yet to figure out the sexes) chickens and 11 quail and get the biggest kick out of the guineas! We've decided to free range but leave the coop door open for coming and goings of Chicken Little (my runt chicken scared of everything) I've noticed the...

    Are hawks a threat to my chickens?

    I've talked to my boyfriend about penning the Chicklets up or letting the free range. We've decided to let them free range, today is their 5th day out and I was feeling confident about them being out and about. That was until today, my chicks are 6 weeks old and getting to know the land...
