    Official BYC Poll: The Worst Predator

    Weasels and Raccoons for coop break-ins are my varmints. Hardware cloth is best investment. Leave no gaps--and set those small fencing nails close together. Cover seams with a strip of wood. A weasel can squeeze through small gaps that a raccoon cannot. Both will pull and test the mesh. Poultry...

    SQ splash silkies, calico & red cochins, and BLRW, North Central Ohio

    Are the Silies still available? My neighbor down the road is seeking silkies for the grandkids to show.

    Oil-filled radiators work well for enclosed areas without risk of fire/overheating. Alert: no airtight housing which isn't recommended for outdoor animals.

    Don't have any pics to post of my chickens from Meyer's but I can claim from personal experience that I've not lost any stock I've picked up from Meyer Hatchery. I'd rather drive the 2.5 hrs to pick my orders up than having chicks shipped. Next trip to Polk, OH is April 20th. Cream Legbars &...
