    What breed are these gray chickens?

    After extensive research, my best guess is sapphire blue Plymouth rocks. Thanks everyone!

    What breed are these gray chickens?

    Well we have about 20 of them, so if it’s a mix it would have to be very specifically created and if that’s the case then I’m shocked at the uniformity of them. All the chickens we got with them (from another farm) are purebred (or appear to be, for the most part) — barred rocks, Rhode Island...

    Coaxing a snake

    is it able to get into the coop from underneath it? Might want to secure any holes in the floor of your coop so it can't get in. Snake probably will ignore the hens and just take eggs, but it could be an issue if you have chicks in there! If you know he's out (could bait him with a couple eggs a...

    Attack in duck house last night :(

    so sorry to hear about your flock :( we've also had many predator problems throughout the years. Could definitely be a raccoon! Bigger predators like foxes and coyotes generally grab the bird and take off with it, but things like raccoons usually hang around to shred and eat it. Raccoons are...
