    Locking chickens in coop vs leaving access to run?

    My coop and my run are surrounded by 1/4 by 1/4 hardware cloth attached w screws and washers....Aint nothing getting in .... Top, sides and bottom are hardware cloth so there isnt anything other than a bear that can get them... With all the work and love that got them to the 10 month age that...

    Raccoon attack

    Thanks to the Roosterhavoc reply I just bought some rat traps.... 9.99 and a drywall bucket.... Have four hens and when they are in the yard, I leave the run door open... A small rat got in and was running around... Disgusting........I am sorry about your ducks... I would lay out under a blanket...

    I had to do it...

    She is so beautiful..... Do you have a diaper for her? How do you let her walk around? Love to do that too.. there are times like yesterday when I hear a tapping at the back door and when I open the door there are 2 or 3 of them standing there, like, "let us in"

    Giving your hens the right food....

    HI all, I have four hens of different breeds... They are 5.5 months old and two of the four are laying.... My question is..... I am giving them treats like sunflower seeds, scratch, spaghetti.. (they love it!!!!) corn, hard boiled eggs.... They are not eating their layer food from Southern...

    I have some suggestions... 1 Don't use chicken wire... too weak and openings too large.. 2 Use 1/2 x 1/2 inch hardware cloth and use screws w washers, not staples. 3 Put either a skirt of 2 foot wide hardware cloth around the perimeter and pin to ground... Let grass grow thru it or do what I did...

    Don't eat that.

    I have four 4.5 month old girls and today one of them, a black austrolorp got and killed two baby mice, about an hour apart... I was worried about the fact that maybe a neighbor had poisoned them so I got the ck to drop it and threw it away....
