    Hawk Attacks

    Thank you very much, and sorry for your losses as well. There is a homestead store nearby, I'll have to go there and see if they have that or ask them to order it. (It's locally owned and they order just about anything you ask them to)

    Production hens needing homes

    Hello, If they still need homes I am willing to take some in if you are willing to ship them? I do not know how shipping works, but I could even send you some money for the costs (after I receive the birds). I also have RIR and leghorns and I do not mind that they are past peak egg production...

    Hawk Attacks

    I do free range, which is why I built some wooden shelters just the perfect height for them to get in and out and put them in the front yard. Since I put those out, there haven't been any attacks.

    Heritage or Production Reds?

    I have never seen a New Hampshire Red....maybe that's what they breed with the Rhode Islands to get the production ones???

    Hawk Attacks

    Okay, so in the past 2 months or so, I have had 5 hawk attacks on my flock (luckily, I have only lost one chicken). Also, no attacks in the last 2 weeks since I built some extra shelters for them about the yard. Anyways, my question(s): 1) Has anyone figured out a sure way to deter hawks? 2)...

    Hi There From NC

    Most of them were bred from my original rooster and one or two of the hens. They regularly replaced them and hatched more each semester although the rooster stayed until right before I got them back. So I have no idea how many are actually from my original batch. Although that doesn't really...

    Hi There From NC

    I'm not actually sure about their ages, some of the reds I received were hatched at different times and then the leghorns were added in separately. My teacher did say that some of them are about 2 now, but I don't know if that is accurate. I do have 7 chicks (5 hens, 2 roos), that I hatched...

    Heritage or Production Reds?

    Hello, so I have heard a lot about how production reds and heritage reds are different by looks, temperament, ect. But I can still not tell what mine are.....so I would greatly appreciate some input. First off, my rooster is from a small local farm, so I don't think he's the same as the rest...

    Hi There From NC

    Good day to you all! I used to raise chickens in high-school for FFA and left them there when I went to college. Then, not too long ago my old teacher contacted me to see if I wanted them back otherwise they''d be killed (they aren't the originals, but some of them were bred from my original...
