    Coyote trapping

    Coyotes do live and hunt in packs and the best way to get rid of them is with a shotgun. I have heard the yipping when they get a kill and saw one dragging a fawn across my yard one night. I am sorry for your loss but the best advice is to keep your critters locked up from dusk to dawn.

    Do your chickens peck at your shoes and clothes?

    They love to peck at my jeans and especially my chicken sloggers!

    5.5 days until chicken pickup

    Nice looking coop! One suggestion is to turn roosting 2X4's with the wide side up to keep feet warm and comfortable when they sleep.

    Missing Chicken without a trace

    I sure hope she shows up but I would suggest a Hawk snatched her even with no feathers on the ground.

    Wind and Snow Protection

    I found a way to protect my 3 hens from winter wind and snow by adding clear shower liners to their run. Works great and hens can still see what's happening all around them.

    are there any foods that are toxic to chickens?

    My hens love tomatoes, cukes, watermelon as snacks but main feed is Purina.

    Shell-less Eggs

    My 18 week old Australorp (Serena) laid her first eggs today but there was no shell on either egg. Feeding Purina Plus Oyster Strong plus hard boiled eggs and mealworms, free ranged daily. I feel so bad for her as her 2 coopmates seemed to stay by her side all day. Is this normal for first eggs?
