    Moving a broody hen?

    Good morning! Im a little bit in a dilemma here. I have a first time broody hen that is sitting on her nest for about 6 days now. I got her some fertile eggs today to hopefully hatch. But...

    What is digging these holes?

    Does anyone know what kind of animal dig these? They are in the back of our pasture. The grass was getting very tall so my husband decided to mow it - to "help" our goats - we have only two :) These are newly made. My husband was walking and checking there 2 weeks ago and they weren't there...

    Pullets or Roos? And what breed?

    Rooster culling advice - first time

    Thank you for your reply. I know... I'm not happy about that either because he is really pretty and was not that bad at first. But now he is getting out of control. The last time my daughter was attacked he scratched her about half inch underneath her eye and she was not even standing too close...
