    We now have a bunch of beetles but don't see any worms.

    I think I know where my moths came from. When I added bran a couple of weeks ago is when I started seeing moths. Thought it was just a coincidence, but I bought extra and found them in the sealed container. Could there have been eggs in it? If so that is nasty!

    I am not sure but my kids say that they are Red-tailed. They are big and are not afraid to try to swoop down even when we are standing right there.

    Yes, I didn't know these existed either! I will be making a trip to get some tomorrow. I then think I am going to try moving them into the laundry room to see if I can get more activity going. I put new bran in the about a week ago.

    My hubby was sitting on the top of the ladder as we were building the top of the run and our EE flew up into his lap. A few minutes later he came down off the ladder and she flew up there again only this time a hawk was circling over. Made us very determined to get it done quickly to keep her in...

    Rubbermaid coop... finally up! update 9/11/11 post#56

    We have finished our coop for the most part. Still have a few minor touches and need to clean up. We bought a Rubbermaid shed and used an old dog kennel, used the poles from an old trampoline to make the roof to the run. My husband didn't want to put any holes in the shed just in case we decide...

    I am going to try to cover the tank to block some of the light and try the wet sponge. My husband is not happy about me bringing them inside. Maybe if this doesn't help I can talk him into putting them into the laundry room.

    I can't seem to keep enough moisture. I put potatoes and carrots in and they are dried out within a day. They are in a 10 gallon fish tank on our back porch. No direct sunlight.

    Why are my chicken attacking me all of the sudden?

    I was wearing the same flip flops that I always wear with jean shorts and shirt. They were all coming at me. I threw down some bird food and they still would not leave me alone. My boys said that they have been doing the same to them when they go to check the nest boxes and give them fresh water...

    Why are my chicken attacking me all of the sudden?

    We are first time chicken owners. We have 5 total, 3 are 22 weeks and 2 are 20 weeks. Two of the 22 week olds (BO & EE) started laying about 2 weeks ago. One of the 20 week olds (Black sex link) started laying a few days ago. All was good until yesterday when I went to collect eggs and throw...

    My son went to remove an old potato and there was mold on it and some of the oats. He picked out as much of it as he could. What should I do?

    what clues are there to know when a chicken is going to start laying eggs

    I did measure our egg today and it was about 2 inches in length.

    what clues are there to know when a chicken is going to start laying eggs

    Thanks, Faraday40. She had been acting crazy the last few day with being aggressive and pecking. She even jumped up several time to peck at our hands. Not like her at all. Then today she was really sweet and loving but loud and singing. I was thinking we would see an egg tomorrow or something...
