    Carnivorous Hens

    Indeed they are. 🦖 I was actually pretty pumped to know they could help reduce the mouse population. I don’t think they are eating mice too regularly, but I’ll try and limit it. Thanks!

    Carnivorous Hens

    Hey gang! I just want to ask if anyone out there has chickens that hunt, kill, and devour mice (and other small rodents), and if so, whether or not you use their manure in your compost pile! Thanks!

    Not a wyandotte, but maybe a buff brahma?

    Need advice on a rooster with no legs

    Poor roo. Hopefully he will be able to have a high quality of life despite his disability. I am sure there is a way to allow him mobility, mental stimulation, and socialization. Best of luck with whatever you decide. I’ll be following this thread to see how things develop for him. Random...

    I feel this is what happened to us, but at Murdoch’s, in Missoula, MT. Last year we thought we were getting a Welsummer and she turned out to be a he and a Road island red. This year, a jersey giants/austrolop (we shall see...) instead of a barred rock. Annoying.

    Lovely! Your JG doesn’t look too “giant”. Bonnie is definitely the smallest in this brood of same aged chicks, so I wonder how big she’ll actually be.

    Thanks for the help! She has a great temperament, and is well loved already! I guess I’ll have to wait another year for my barred rock! Thanks again!

    Hey BYC! We bought four new chicks from a feed supply store 5 weeks ago and one of them was supposed to be a barred rock pullet. She has not developed any barring and I am concerned she is not a barred rock at all... any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Al 1st photo: Bonnie at 4...

    Poor Roo

    Thank you for your repl Mrs. K. I just know that it is good practice to cut the air pipe of game animals to prevent spoiling and to cool the body down faster. Any information helps.

    Poor Roo

    Our almost mature rooster just died unexpectedly. I want to preserve his cape and saddle feathers. Do I need to cut his trachea and drain the blood immediately? Please help!
