    Post Your Predator Guns Below

    I prefer .22 magnum, has punch and range, cartridges cheap and easy to find. Can also get rat shot which is ideal for snakes, or doing your meat birds in

    Varmint got a dozen

    Thought I had a well built coop. Last night dogs were barking, (not unusual), this am Coop destroyed, birds dead, 100 yds from coop, not eaten. 6 cornish x. No sign of 6 bantams yet. Fox? Can't figure what got past dogs. They protect the birds

    Anti-Social Chick?

    I have a 3 wk cornish x doing the same thing. It is not the voracious raptor like the others so i Moved it with 1 week bantams so she'd have food all day. She is a recluse and daydreams all day; does eat and drink but much smaller than the chick/pig cross chicks, and not nearly as feathered...

    Cornish cross won't associate

    3 wks, not voracious feeder, smaller, stays in corner but is not picked on. Does eat and drink. Moved in with week old birds, who follow it, but still likes the corner, or roams just looking at stuff outside the wire
