    Hi all been away from the site for a bit. Looks like there has been a change in the website and app. The email i have using for the past 20 years doesnt work with BYC since the change. Strange. I had to set up an alternative so i can still post and keep in contact. All is well at the small...

    So Somewhere in the ramblings of the covenance they should define livestock. Usually this is larger animals and does not include chickens. Livestock is a rather broad term. Livestock, i would think would have 4 hooves. If th covenance does not include a definition of livestock then run with...

    My little mille flure d-uckle hatched out her 11 eggs earlier this week. We have 10 left. One chick decided to get out and explore a little too closely to the test of the hens. Here are a couple pics. Tiny little ones. [/IMG]

    Hang in ther. A couple of years ago i saw a large bobcat taking off with one of my hens. It sucks. But it happens. I couldnt get to a hunting accessory fast enough to take care of the situation. This just gives you a reason to hatch this spring.

    Sounds like it is time for a live trap. That coon WILL be back. You dont necessarily have to release them alive. If you are still working for who you used to work for ask one of them. They will let you know. Thats a land owner thing and protecting your livestock. I am saving up for electric...

    I have hard time keeping up with and finding my little mil flure d-uckle the past week. I found her yesterday. She had a nest of 11 eggs under the rhubarb pland and was quite happy there. We moved her to the new coop with the blue laced red wyandots. I hope she stays on the eggs. Time will tell...

    A halfway decent trail cam mounted in an inconspicuious are would erese all doubt from the police's questions. A picture is worth a thousand words kind of thing I can think of a few traps and snares that would work also. Probably shouldnt do that though. You moght hurt their feeling. Police...

    Recipe for mouse killer yhat won't kill your chickens if they get into it. One cup oat meal or ground up chicken feed pellets 40 to 50 rasins or some other dried fruits( that shriveled up apple that has been on the counter will work). Probably a quarter of it. Slice it up small and let it dry...

    I havent heard about not candling on days 11-14. Must be a developement thing. I generally acndle when i have the opertunity. I dont think you messed up. Most of my chicken hatches have been pretty good to this point. Geese hatches are a different story. Its hard to hatch geese.
