    Lost More Chickens

    I posted before about losing 4 chickens. And the bobcat that was probably the culprit. That one is dead because the neighbors picked it up off the hwy after someone hit it. It's surprising that we even have them being in the city but I guess these predators are everywhere. You just don't see...

    Electric Fencing

    Thanks for replies. We have very little snow in our area, maybe once every two yrs(2 or 3 inches occasionally more but not much of a problem). We currently do not have system in place. Our yard is fenced but we have a gate opening and an opening where we bring our vehicles in but the chickens...

    Lost 4 chickens

    My husband found out from some neighbors that there was a bobcat in the area and in fact the bobcat got hit by a car(we live right off a busy hwy). My understanding is the cat got killed(the neighbors said they picked him up so whether dead or alive I'm still not clear on but if just injured...

Most of the feathers were right on the outside of the fence line(they've taken to wandering a bit). THere were feathers near...

    Lost 4 chickens

    I'm new here. Last yr we got 10 chicks. Kind of a long story, my husband and I are separated now. He decided to let the chickens free range, I tried to get him to not do this and build a run for them but he thinks they're happier freeranging.. Anyway, a few months ago he lost 1. Found the head...

    New Here

    I've read backyard chickens before but decided to sign up.... We(mostly my husband) started with 10 chickens last year, sadly we've lost all but 5 and I fear we will lose the rest. My husband has to take a trip in a few days and has had a hard time finding someone to care for the animals(cats...
