    Building my hen house

    Nice! pretty dang impressive for a 13 year old for sure..future carpenter? one idea you can use to keep the door open is a heavy duty hook lock on the inside of the door. while it is not ideal it is more attractive then the wood you have keeping it open now. I have been using the hook lock...

    Hens beating up Rooster

    you have to introduce them slowly.Take the rooster out of the main pen and put him in a cage where the hens can see him but not get to him.keep them like that for about a week,then maybe add a hen or 2 to his pen and see how that gos.. when you do finally add him to the main pen,do it at night...

    Is cat food good food to use as bait?

    provided its not a neighbors cat...if you catch it,you kill it! As you said,relocation is just passing your problem onto someone eles.

    Weird question about feed

    since you have ducks as well as chickens why not just feed an all flock with a side of oyster shells and be done with it?
