    Snake eating eggs & golfballs

    My parents purchased a minnow trap from a bait & tackle shop for $14.95. My dad baited it with a couple eggs yesterday morning. I'll update if anything exciting happens.

    Snake eating eggs & golfballs

    My parents have a flock of Orpington hens. They went from having more eggs than they knew what to do with to having 3-5 eggs a week. We decided to try putting golf balls in the nest boxes to see if any go missing. If they did we'd know there was a predator eating the eggs and not a laying...

    Sick ducks...Unknown cause

    Thank you for the link! They are still doing better but the bill discoloration of my Rouen drake hasn't improved since yesterday. Their behavior and appetite seem normal. Hoping the worse is behind them.

    Sick ducks...Unknown cause

    Yesterday, I let out my flock as usual to free range in the pasture.(About 2pm) I went back to the barn nearly 3 hours later to feed up and found my Rouen drake sitting in the barn. His bill was grayish, blue and his head was wobbling back/forth. I went to move him and he took off. He seemed to...

    Missing chickens mystery...

    scratch'n'peck- Thank you, we've been looking in the woods and pastures and haven't seen any of my flock members. My roo is very noisy I had hoped we'd hear him at some point. This evening I took a walk around the yard again and spotted a small clump of feathers in the corner of our back yard...

    Missing chickens mystery...

    UPDATE-- Several days after having no luck locating my missing flock we discovered a den on a neighboring property. It had three separate entrances/exits all littered with feathers. Some I recognized and some from another neighbors flock. :( We believe this is just a stash den that they have...

    Barred Rock or Mix up? UPDATE w/ Pics

    I haven't tried contacting the hatchery but I will. I noticed when they arrived one seemed to have more black than the others but assumed that this was a normal color variation. All my chicks look like the picture chickenlover posted except this one.

    Barred Rock or Mix up? UPDATE w/ Pics

    I ordered several barred plymouth rock chicks from McMurray's Hatchery. They are about 5wks old now and one of the chicks is odd. All the other chicks have yellow beaks with a black spot or two at the base, yellow/gray legs, and have grown the black/white feathers. I'm still new to all things...

    Another McMurray Mystery Chick

    It is a yellowish color with white wing tips. It came with my buff orpingtons and definitely stands out compared to their golden color. It is the same size they are. Any guesses? Thanks in advance!

    Id this breed?

    Thanks for responses! Yes, he was a dyed chick we purchased around Easter and he was a very large rooster (IMO). He easily knocked down my 3 1/2yo at the time. I've just never seen a rooster be so aggressive. He would literally stalk you. My teenage brother tripped playing basketball once and...

    Id this breed?

    Can anyone tell me what breed this rooster is? I pick him up as a colored easter chick at a local feed store several years ago. He turned out to be extremely aggressive. Attacking my kids, pets, family, and friends. I had two of them and both were equally evil. We gave them to a neighbor who had...
